Here’s another batch of game reviews I’ve written lately. Please click and read as many as you can, and maybe even post a comment or two, I’d appreciate it. The title of this blog stems from the fact that a lot of the games reviewed in this batch have an adventurous feel. Also, when I wrote game reviews for The Dallas Morning News, the title of the game reviewing section was called Electronic Adventures. I didn’t make up that title, though. However, when I wrote game reviews for The Daily Texan, UT Austin’s college newspaper, there were already a lot of music reviews since Austin is a pretty big live music town. The music reviews section was called Sound Bites, so when I wrote game reviews for them, I came up with the title Game Bytes. Get it? Oh well, on to the reviews.
Please read this article below that I'm about to link. I'm not name calling or trying to anger anyone for fun. This is not even about the console wars or if Sony is better or not. However, this article shows one of my reasons that I don't trust MS. I back this writer's opinions though, and I would be furious if I was an early Xbox One purchaser. Please share if anyone agrees. And I hope this is within the guidelines of this site as I don't wish to be banned.
Guys, I've made it no secret that I adore remixes. I mean I do a few of them for fun, but I have nothing on the talent that some of these guys possess. I mean holy shit. Check these out!
We worked on getting information to build our Wix website for the trip, where we'll give some info on all the stuff we're visiting and took each other's pictures for the site and whatnot.
I have definitely been MIA these past few weeks now. Theres alot going on but more good than bad, recently I am no longer sleeping on a couch. My sister and her boyfriend got a place finally and that opened up the previous room I had had about 1 year ago. so since I've been trying to get everything from downstairs moved up here it's been a crazy mess. One thing is computer is still down stairs. So I haven't been getting on it because when I come home I come to my room. Hopefully in the next few days/weeks I can get the computer finally up to the room. I'm still working at goodwill and job searching. I'm also waiting to hear from the College about my financial aid however they don't open their offices up until May 13th. I'm hoping on that day I can call them and find out about it. I'm not going back to college till fall but I did least like to have it to where I can get it easily set up. Normally they do early fall registration starting during the summer. So I'd also want to get in on that. Right now I'm just taking it day by day and just doing what I need to. I know I haven't been on a whole lot like I said but its just been a crazy time for me. However it does look like things are definitely on the mend which makes me feel better because I've been drowning it seems in negativity. I'm still gaming of course but it has been kind of slow.
From what I've been reading on June 9th Microsmurf will release a Kinect free XB1 for the reduced price of $399.
2:00 pm – I setup my Xbox 360 at my friend’s place and had lunch. I’m trying to keep to about 700 calories a meal, but this one was probably about 1200 consisting of a Liverwurst sandwich, a hot dog and a few pretzels. Breakfast was about 500 though and dinner was about 800. So I’m over for the day, but it was much better than last week which added up to over 3K calories. Yikes!
Last night my wife and I sat down to get back into Gears of War 3, only to discover that our Xbox LIVE Gold momberships had expired. We knew that was coming but it was still a surprise. But no worries, we thought. It's not like we were playing online. But we have been saving our progress to online storage for most games because we have a dinky harddrive. Well guess what...only Gold members get to use online storage, so we can't finish our game till we renew, and the budget won't allow that for at least another month. Poop.
Timed Sale 200 copies $2.99. ALL DONE but more stuff on sale.
Over the weekend Toronto musician Nash The Slash passed away at 66 years of age. Nash was a personal favourite back in the 80's and I saw him solo and with his band FM on may occasions.
I'm taking defensive driving, cause I am trusted to be a back-up van driver for the trip. Luckily, my professor will also be driving, so I'll have some opportunities to relax on the rides, which is one of my favorite parts of any "field trip": joking around with people on the way there.
Greetings good people of Pixlbit! Monday is here and that usually means
Hello Pixlbit! I hope everyone has had a great Mother's Day. Lately I've been debating on getting the PS Vita Slim. At first I didn't think of getting it, but when the Borderlands 2 Vita Slim Bundle was released I started to think. So I wanted to look up some forums to see if it's worth investing in. I've had the original PS Vita 1000 since day one and it's given me a great run. It still works perfectly today. The only flaw it has is the battery life. It tends to tell me I have low battery even if the battery level shows I have around 30% left. But I think that's my fault because there were times where I would charge it while playing.
Let's look at the fucking facts here Sega.
Got Wizardry 6, 7 and 8, The 7th Guest and the 11th Hour, Shadow Man, I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream, Harvester and System Shock 2 Steam keys. All for $10.22 CAD. The bundle is still available for 4 more days if anyone is interested.
I don't know what it has to do with Mother's Day really, but it was under $10, so I now own the two more critically acclaimed Bioshocks; of course, transmet2033 would say 2 is his favorite, even if he doesn't necessarily think it's the best one. Hey man, TASM2 is my favorite Spidey movie, and I doubt many people would agree, so I feel you.
Posted in the forums but I'm not sure how frequently folks are looking in there.
