It's been a mess of a month due to many reasons, so I'm trying my best to stay positive.

Well Happy Friday good people of the Pixlbitland! I hope everyone is doing well, and looking forward to the weekend. I’m excited because College Football is officially back! It started with last week’s game, but over the past couple of days it has been non stop college football, and this Saturday my Aztecs take on Northern Arizona. Here’s to another year where the football team goes bowling, Basketball makes the NCAA Tourney, and Baseball goes back to the post season.

1977 was an important year for me: I was 10 years old, Star Wars was in the theaters that summer, the first Electronics Boutique (which became EB Games and then was merged with Gamestop) opened in my Mall at King of Prussia, PA, and the Atari 2600 was out for Christmas. For me it was ground zero for video gaming and science fiction, two of my favorite subjects.

Hello everyone!

Ugh! These are some of the worst cartoons your poor eyes will ever see!

There’s a new 3DS, stupidly called “New” 3DS

Have not started playing it yet (downloading it now) but was wondering if anyone else was planning/does have it yet and tried it?

Well, September is upon us. My MMO Summer is officially over. And good ridance. Strangely enough I've decided to put my focus back into shooters for some odd reason. I'm not particularly fond or good at them, so things should be interesting. Also, since it's getting closer to Halloween, I'm going to dive into more horror themed games as well. So that is a preview of future blogs. Shooters & Horrors. 

If you read my last post, you know I was having a bit of a problem with Operation Racoon City. Kicking off my Shooter&Horror themed blogs got started off in a real bad way. I actually finished the game and got past the hard part, but I'm too tired and confused to put a proper review together. I think some of you might appreciate if I did, as I would have enjoyed a warning/impression from this community before I dove in. Actually, it isn't all that bad. My impression is actually quite positive, despite some annoyances. You'll have to stay tuned to find out why I guess? I'm too tired to do it now.

I also jumped on the Silent Hill Vita bandwagon. I only ever played the demo, but really liked it and it was on my backlist. I'll be running for my life and beating things with blunt objects for a while. Also, adds to the Horror theme games I suppose.

If you wanted to know about the last MMO I was playing, it was Defiance. I actually don't think very much of it so I didn't bother to post a full impression of it. It's not bad, just OK. Actually, on PS3 it's pretty ugly and it kind of turned me off. Also, there were a lot of spongy enemies, that just absorbed ammo like mother fuckers, and it kind of annoyed me. Sometimes a few bros would lend a hand, mostly not. It's a very bro-y kind of a game. I like science fiction and military themes, but nope!

So that's that. What gaming plans do you all have for SeptOctNovDec? 

G'nite.

Oh! I also need to finish up on Demon's Souls. So expect to see more posts on that. Probably beyond August.

 

My plan in 2014 was to keep up with the latest releases, buy one new game a month, and play that game as thoroughly as possible. Well, I've finally got overwelmed by the number of games out now that I haven't played. Not only that, my best friend and gaming buddy is out of work, probably for good, and can't keep up with me anymore. This kind of kills my interest in keeping up with the Joneses, so I'm going on a vacation and taking a long nostalgic trip through the years of gaming history - and my collection.

 Hey guys! Just letting you know I'm glad I didn't haven't touched a Nintendo product since the Gamecube, and that they can go fuck themselves with a scimitar.

If you are one of the fortunate souls to not know about any of the toxicity which took place in gaming over the past two weeks, I envy you. Don't look it up unless you want to hate the internet forever, instead just know that one of the results is a petition to shut down Steam for one hour because of sexism. 

Took me 28 hours on my very first playthrough.  That brings the grand total of games beat in 2014 up to 18 or 19.

I know this is a gaming site, but some people mention comics on here every now and then.

I've been reading/catching up with story lines. Mainly X-Men and Avengers. I would like some feedback from the community as to what everyone is reading, what's worth reading. I don't know about manga? Maybe we can add that as well.

I think maybe post summaries on Mondays about what we read? Maybe make it monthly? 

 

I for one prefer butt ninjas. 

Just for fun I went through the database at allgame.com and wrote down how many of each genre of video game I've played all-time. This is the result.

These five shows should be watched by everyone, imo

Just give us Super Smash Kart/Super Kart Bros already

I hate giving up on a game when I just start them, but I rarley have regrets when I do. Some games I never finished that I think were good games were Resonance of Fate, and Valkyria Chronicles. With Resonance of Fate there were long sections where you had to survive before reaching the boss at the end, a dungeon if you will. Dying half way and having to restart was very frustrating, but probably meant that I didn't understand the combat well enough. This is more likely true. Valkyria Chronicles, which is like an anime XCOM had long campaigns where you could end your game after an hour over a dumb mistake. Again, it probably means I didn't understand the game mechanics well enough to keep going. They are both really good games in my opinion, but with so many games to play out there, I don't feel like investing time to learn new systems all the time. I need to cut down to one or two games a month, instead of every week. 

You all that know me on here knows what I like I thought about Dark Souls 2 but I want all 3 so I will wait not sure if I want to commit to a long rpg yet although I do want Tales of Xillia 2 mmmmmmm so im stumped any suggestions?

I turned it on to play some more Rainbow Moon and after 10 minutes it shut down with a flashing red light. It's a launch model with PS2 BC so I guess it has had a good run.

Hey Pixlbit! Yesterday was Madden Day, and I didn’t buy it. I barely play Madden 25 and I bought that a month after it was released, and besides I’ve been on a mobile kick for the past couple of weeks so I was happy to see that the next version of Madden Mobile was released on Android and iOS, and it is free.
