The Sale of the Dead is running this week and next week with different games each week but the same Movies and TV programs both weeks
Man, the week+ since my last blog has been very busy. New baby, going back to work (plus an overtime day), and my wife has had some trouble with her stitches (she tore a little during the birth). I've played a little Monster Hunter on PSP but that's about it. Been reading a lot of comics lately (courtesy of the library, of course) because that's so much easier to do than play a game. I finished Sandman 3 and it was really good. I've started vol 4 and it looks like we're back to main story again (vol 3 was just unrelated short stories, though very good ones). I'm just in the first section of that but so far it's really interesting.
So as you know from my earlier post F1 2014 is out today in the U.S but before buying it I saw they released.
Spent the whole day playing Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel (BtPS) again. I'm up to level 17 as Claptrap. I haven't finished the main story-line although my friend Mark, playing right next to me on his own system, is pretty close to the end. I've been trying not to pay too much attention so I don't spoil the story for myself, but it's not easy.
Happy Monday Pixlbitland! It is a cool 67° right here in my little piece of Southern California. So how was you weekend? Did you all get your fill of football and gaming? The Aztecs and Cowboys earned the W’s this weekend so I am a happy camper.
I had grand plans for the weekend. I was going to be productive - get some housecleaning done, go do some laundry, get my resume finished, and start applying for jobs. I was going to go to Portsmouth on Saturday for the sea music sing, too, but that didn't happen, either.
After a long slog, I finally killed the Darklurker and obtained the Master Of Hexes trophy...which unlocked the Dark Souls II Platinum!
So I've been watching football games that mostly seem pretty well-fought and result in close scores, while Matt Snee commented to me this NFL season has too many blowouts. So, since I'm in a stats course and it's made me crazy enough to do this, I decided to calculate a bunch of crap based on 2014 Regular Season NFL scores and see if there are more blowouts or close games overall this season.
between the overnight stock crew at Toys R Us and a part time job in a restaurant....it's looking like it's going to be a good Christmas this year.
A video Nsonic79 posted on his blog yesterday got me interested in visiting http://ssega.com and playing some classic horror video games I never heard of as a kid, but people raved about when I was older.
Okay. What do Assassin's Creed, Shadow of Mordor, Zelda, Gears of War, Mass Effect, and Uncharted have in common? Well, they are all designed by fucking retards who think it's okay to have one button do several things. And you know what? I'm done with it.
I'm noticing a lot of "1 Days Left" marks in my Steam library next to games I bought off Humble Bundle packages.
After only eating sushi today, taking a three-hour or so nap, compiling my literature review for my location-based advertising paper and then having two Irish car bombs (offensive name, I know; my friend Ryan was like, "what if you ordered two 9/11s?"), a Kerrigan beer, which I was told was like Guinness, and my old odd favorite, a Jim Beam (double-shot with Dr. Pepper) I started acting a little goofy in front of my friends.
We’re taking video games discussion back. There has been way too much anger, negativity, finger pointing, and plenty of other things in recent months that have diverted a majority of us away from why we’re all on this here website: vidya games!
Want to take pictures of shit and make them look all Manga and stuff. Download Manga Camera to your phone. Available on iTunes and Google Play. It's free to.
it's live and going down as of about 1230 pm PST today. A slurry of games with a Heroine theme at the forefront. Get in where you fit in.
Got my PS3 back today and checked it out for about half an hour. I'm not sure if it's because the 2nd iteration 360 is so quiet and I'm not used to it but the fan on the PS3 kicks in after 5 minutes and get's really loud after 20.
It's hard for me to discuss this game without giving up some spoilers in case you were planning on waiting for a sale next year and are a fan and want to be surprised. You should avoid this blog altogether.
Be Warned!
Keep in mind that I'm only a couple of hours in, and I'm not sure how long the game is supposed to be. I only played a bit of the first two games but felt like it was really meant for co-op and I found the game tedious as a single player game. So I'm not tired of the franchise as most people are because I haven't played enough to get tired of it.
This game takes place on the moon. A moon? Some moon? So there is little gravity in the environment and it is apart of the gameplay. There is also little oxygen so you have to run from pocket of air to pocket of air (like those air bubbles in those water levels in Sonic the Hedgehog games). The jumps are also very floaty. I haven't played Borderlands in a while but I don't remember if there are floaty space jumps or oxygen limitations in previous games. Even when you get and oxygen tank, it depletes when you explore the landscape or when you double jump and hover for a while.
In short, I'm liking the game so far. It's early on, but unlike the previous games, this has more of a sci-fi space element like Halo or Metroid than the Western type theme of previous games. I think part of is that because you are on the moon, there is not atmosphere and the sky is dark and the environment has a weird neon glow to it. It feels more like Tron or Metroid. The soundtrack is really awesome. It has more of an electronic Techno feel and it fits the game perfectly. I think that's part of the reason that I'm enjoying it. This is a stylistically different take on the game and it kind of stands out.
Well Happy Friday Pixlbit Nation! The week started off with Monday trying to fight me, and got it’s last kicks in on Monday night when I was having a stew for dinner and I burned my tongue. Yes it was the last FU to me by Monday. Tuesday was better and by the end of Tuesday and the start of Wednesday I hit my stride…which brings me to Friday
As you are likely aware there is a kind of culture war going on within the gaming community. I won’t bore any of you with the details because if you’re reading this, you most likely already know about the fiasco that’s going on; perhaps you’ve even “taken sides” on the whole debacle.
What's up Pixlbittallion? How's your week been? I don't know 'bout you guys and gals, but I'm ready for Halloween to be here already!
