I know Pixlbit, I've posted way too much this week. Yesterday I posted that an employee at GameStop tried to f*** me over with the Signature Edition of Dragon Age 2. This time they've redeemed themselves. Well somewhat. So this morning I went into GameStop to pick up Shin Megami Tensei IV. I thought of getting it new because the new copy was their only one and it was the Limited Edition.
Alright Pixlbit, I know I've been posting a lot lately. I hope you all aren't annoyed by it. Well last night I posted that I had a dilemma between the PS3 and 360 versions of Dragon Age Origins Ultimate Edition and Dragon Age 2. Just to give a quick recap. I was looking for DA2 on 360 for the longest time and couldn't find it because my local GameStop stores didn't have any. The closest one was about 20 miles from me and I wasn't willing to drive that far just for a $13 game. So one of the stores finally had some, but I happened to stumble upon the Signature Edition of DA2 on PS3. I was trying to decide whether to just get the regular copy of the game on 360 since I have the Ultimate Edition of DAO on that console or get the SE of DA2 for PS3 and buy the Ultimate Edition of DAO on PS3.
Well, this is my second post today Pixlbit. I'm in a bit of a dilemma. I've been wanting to get Dragon Age 2 because I started to get into Dragon Age since they announced the third installment of the Dragon Age saga. I bought the 360 version of Dragon Age Origins Ultimate Edition. Even though I'm still working through that game, I've been wanting to get the second game in the series. I tried out the demo on the 360 and I enjoyed it so far. The gameplay is fun and the story seems interesting. The only drawback is the gameplay tends to lag a bit. I'm not sure if its due to the fact that its the demo or if the 360 version of the game is like that.
So since the weight room was closed for an hour and a half today, starting right when I tried to go due to a Zumba course, I went to Hasting's for a while to relax and look around. By the way, the weight room is tiny and has nothing to do with the huge fucking gym right in front of it, where they actually do Zumba, but according to my friend they close the weight room so creepers don't stare through the weight room window at the ladies. My solution? Fucking close some blinds, I dunno. That or just kick those guys out. Honestly, I'm not sure if that was the real problem, or if it's cause the water fountain is placed where you have to walk from the weight and through the gym to get to it, possibly disturbing the Zumba'ing, which I think might make more sense, but to me that's just stupid.
Things happened, been happening and are going to happen, so I decided to take the chance and blog.
Hey Pixlbit. I hope everyone is having a good week so far. I recently made a trip to TRU again and tried to find more games in the clearance bins. I did some price scanning to find out that they've dropped the prices again. Not a huge amount, but between $1-$3 from the last time I checked. I ended up buying another copy of Touch My Katamari only because it was $2.50 cheaper than when I bought it a few days ago. I bought Dead Space 3 a few days ago as well for $6, but I'm going to check if the other DS3 copies are cheaper and I'll probably end up returning the copy I have currently just to save a few dollars haha. I also picked up Dead Space 1 and plan to get Dead Space 2 so I can have the complete set. I was surprised to find a clean copy of DS1. I also bought the God of War Collection so I can also complete my GoW series set. All I need is Ascension, but I think I'll hold off on that until I pass all of the games.
Pixlbit, it’s early but it is time for another edition of Quick Hits with Chris! So I’m heading out tomorrow morning for another trip to San Francisco, which means I’m going to get to utilize all the podcasts, mixtapes, and other media to keep me occupied during the 8 hour drive. I do have a couple of goals for this trip:
My last blog was right before we left on a little trip. I can't believe it's been a week since we got back! The summer solstice must be getting screwed over because I swear the days are getting shorter 
Yup, buying a house is a bitch, don’t let anyone try to tell you any different. The idea of buying a house is quite romantic; the prospect of ownership, the feeling of freedom, truly being the master of one’s domain – these are all appealing in theory – but the process to get to this magical state of ownership is one brimming with stress and emotional pain.
Too many to list here. Just go there now!
It sucks that there some soundtracks in the videogame community that are really hard to aquire. Sometimes you're luck, its finally available in your country's iTunes store, or its available on amazon most likely. Sometimes Youtube is there to help you out, that is until gaming companies files cease and desist orders on the person's Youtube account. Anyways, here are some videogame music pieces that I've been enjoy lately.
So, after my trip off of the face of the earth, I'm back! Sadly, things went a little south for Retro Rampage, so I've rebranded and am currently flying solo with Cartridge Carnage. While there's no content up there just yet, I'm in the process of getting things together to get the show started off right - I'm preparing an opening, trailer, all of the related media for the page graphics, and so on and so forth.
and boy oh boy am I glad I'm done. LA Noire's not a bad game....but I can easily say that it's not a good game either. Just about everything else with Rockstar's logo on it that I've ever played has been better.
Although I didn't see this on the Playstation Blog. I found 4 good PS2 Classics reduced to $3.99 today
So Tuesday. We rarely meet here but today, but here we are. Hello Pixlbit! As you can see Me and Tuesday are trying to get along, so how are you good people? I’ve been away a couple of days, which you shall read about a bit later. This past weekend I took a trip to Arizona to visit family, help with some errands, and then back to Sunny California. Of course I did my normal thing of overpacking all the gadgets and games
I had to go back and take a look. It's all still there but other than blogs and threads it is a site frozen in time. It will forever represent February 2013.
I started Enemy Front on Sunday and played for about three hours or so until I got to this sniping mission that drove me nutzo. There's something about the targeting controls that I just don't like - seem too sensitive. My crosshair kept zipping too quickly across targets. Only when I quick-scoped (or quick-iron-sighted I guess you'd call it here) did I have good accuracy. Anyway it was taking me too long to aim with the controls. I repeatted the level several times before I had to take a break out of frustration. Then I lent the game to my friend sitting next to me and watched him adjust the sensitivity and then get past the area where I got stuck. Boy am I stupid.
Seeing the Battlefield Hardline trailer left me with quite a few reactions. Having Payday turned into a PvP game rather than a Left 4 Dead clone sounds interesting, sure. But the level of destruction for that game is beyond excessive. It reminds me of the destruction in Man of Steel except the heroes are just stopping crooks, not saving the freaking world.
Hey Pixlbit. Just wanted to make a quick post. I'm trying to decide which game to get between LBP and Tearaway. GameStop recently price dropped both of them and caught my interest. I've played a little bit of both of them before, but not enough to complete them. So what are your opinions on these games? Which do you think is the best purchase? Or do you guys and gals think I should just buy both of them? I'd appreciate your responses!
