So after getting to gamestop where I was going to pick up Folklore to my surprise I found these two which in Austin Texas is nearly impossible to find.
It was one of those boss battles. You know the kind right? Oh well I'm not going to beat him this time but next time I'll do this and this and bring more of that.
Between random Internet outages and my laptop deciding randomly to freeze, I've been falling behind and since I was already a little behind on things, I'm trying hard to catch up before it snowballs out of control.
The staff here seems to want things to stay low-key and non-controversial, so I have no choice. I will have to talk about more boring things than I wanted to here, but I will stay. I will continue to bring my exciting stuff to vgchartz and IGN. VGchartz really welcomes console wars and fights over them. Check it out if interested. Here, I will try to write reviews and give toned down and self-censored opinions, as depressed as it makes me. Thanks for reading this boring blog.
Sup guys! I have been MIA for a while. Really trying to get back into it.
Today I listened to a Retronauts podcast which guest stars Rachel Weil who created the web site Femicom.org, a resource of video games through time created specifically for female gamers.
Greetings Pixlbit, how was your weekend? We have another start to a week and for my little piece of Southern California that means saying goodbye to the cool weather because I’m staring at 90 degrees for the rest of the week. Yup it is getting warmer and I have to start waking up earlier to avoid to the heat if I want to do fun stuff like CD Sundays and roaming around to find the latest and greatest in deals. You would think this would have happened this past weekend, but with the Stagecoach folks in town (for those out of the loop, think Coachella-fest but with Country Music), I decided to once again stay indoors for most of the weekend and “try” to make some progress in Mount Backlog. Instead of trying to knock out a game or two that’s been sitting on the list, I played a ton of MLB The Show, but you good folks will read about that in a bit.
After I present my paper today at 4pm, I'll be done with my Media Law & Ethics class in which we watched a shit-ton of movies we wrote papers over, plus two term papers, one over law (mine was specifically about patent-trolling) and this most recent one over eithics (mine was specifically about book-burning).
About a month ago, I purchased Diablo 3 for the PS3. I believe this was the first time the title went down to $40 at Walmart (and I assume, most retail outlets). While I wasn't going to get to it for a while, I felt better with it in my collection. Now that I recently beat Assassin's Creed IV (more on that later), I was able to start up a game with a Barbarian Friday night. I played for 4 hours. Last night, I played for 5 hours. I'm no stranger to the series (I own Diablo II for PC) but this is such a damn good game. I worked late last night and most of the time I just wanted to finish so I could go back home and play some more.
So I've been on a Spiderman kick lately, excited for Amazing Spiderman 2. I love the webhead and most of its adaptations (just don't ask me about the Ultimate cartoon). Hell, I even like Spiderman 3. So I thought I'd make a list of why I love this movie that so many people hate. The film has its issues like Topher Grace as Venom, but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy it.
How did we go from 4-2 in the second period to being beat 5-4 in OT? Well, we looked damn good out there otherwise, so here's to next season.
2:15pm: Setting up my silver Gamecube and lunch consisting of cheesesteak, Samuel Adams Double Agent IPL beer, Tostitos Artisan Recipe Roasted Garlic & Black Bean chips and hummus dip, and a 32 oz Powerade Zero. Yum!
I have to make a habbit of getting back on here and writing more often, over here. I don't know what it is about work lately that makes it feel like I have no free time. The company I work for is loosing people like it's going out of style, most are just leaving of their own free will. There's so much wrong and stupid with the company, and I wish that the whole thing would just self destruct so that someone else can come along and pick up the broken pieces because that would be more beneficial at this point.
Sorry I have not been blogging more. Gaming related I have not done much of worth beyond beating Dragon's Dogma's main campaign. I want to move onto the Bitter-black-isle expansion but I'm afraid I'll get my ass annhilated rather quickly. (Capcom proudly boasted they wanted the expansion to be like Dark-souls. Sick fucks!)
I now own Limbo, VVVV, Cave Story+, a couple interesting looking games like Cthulu Saves the World and Mutant Mudds Deluxe, and a bunch of games I don't really give a shit about for only $10!
You're probably already aware that an expedition is underway searching for millions of copies of the worst game ever made in a concrete covered landfill.
Now is a good time to say hi, don'tcha think!? I've been keeping busy, mostly offline, though. I can't believe it's almost May! This winter certainly was cold and miserable-ish. Anyway, now that the weather is getting nicer, I've been more active as of late, which is a good thing, I think.
on the L.A. trip in May. The guy I'm rooming with helped set that part of the trip up and it sounds like we'll be getting tons of access and be able to ask a panel some questions as far as I understand from the meeting we had yesterday, during which I was typing references for a paper due that day.
