So I recently decided to try making music on my computer, and this is the first result. It's a remake of a battle theme from a GBC JRPG called Lufia: The Legend Returns.

It's been a horribly stressful week since my last update. My mom's in the hospital, she's still pretty sick, but is a lot better than she was. I took some time off work to stay with my grandmother while my mom's in the hospital, and I was supposed to be back to work by this AM. On my way home last night, I stopped to fill up my car, and discovered that the gas was coming out as fast as it was going in. Of course this was 8:30 PM on a Friday. And no where near home. One crumb of comfort -  it happened the next town over from where I have family, and my cousin Kyler came and rescued me. My aunt and uncle have been on vacation for about a month, so he was glad for the company. We stayed up late talking about outdoorsy stuff, games, women and gaming, game design and mechanics, Firefly, anime, watched How to Train Your Dragon, and I watched him play a couple of levels of Sony Battle Royale before I had to call it a night. We continued the coversation the next morning, and he gave me some tips on how to use my DSLR (yes, Joe, I appreciate that you keep offering, but it makes more impact on my brain when I have it right in front of me). And he drove me back to my grandmother's this afternoon.

 God, I haven't done one of these in a while. However, since I've had an influx of great music recently, I thought I'd share some highlights. That and I wanted a break from playing and reviewing Dark Souls 2. So enjoy!

Indiana Jones and the Azran Legacy. . . No wait. It’s Prof. Layton.

     Both Indy and Layton are professors, but one fights with his fists outside of class and the other prefers a battle of wits; one wields a whip and gun and the other a brain. I think I wanted Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy to be more like an Indiana Jones graphic adventure like the LucasArts games.

Well Happy Friday good people of Pixlbit! I am excited to that we once again have this time off to do nothing but enjoy the sun, do some exploring, or maybe make some progress on our backlog. I’m probably going to do tackle the backlog, which usually ends up in playing a game for an hour, and then going back to MLB The Show (created Chris got promoted to AAA Albuquerque and is on a tear). So Pixlbit what do you have planed for this weekend? Anything fun? Let me know, anyways I think it’s time we start another edition of Quick Hits With Chris!

Here is the thing.  When I first started SM3DL I commented on how I did not know how I felt about the game.  I finished off Bowser this morning and still am not sure how I feel about the game.  

Now I really, really want a Wii U

Good evening Pixlbit. This week I recently picked up Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition and Fallout New Vegas: Ultimate Edition. For some reason I felt like playing the Fallout games again. I owned the both of the games before, but traded them in a while back. Now I'm starting to get back into them.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to our Lets Choose a Guild Name Contest last week. The suggestions were awesome. Now I've gathered up all the selections so we can all vote. I have to be a bit bias and say that I reallly like the name "Pixlbatallion" as it is simply one word and has both the community name mashed with "Battalion" or army,  and thats what a guild sort of is. If you made multiple suggestions last week, I just chose one of your suggestions. Okay, here they all are...

Those of you who have previously bought a Crash or Spyro game, go to your download list and you can put get them on your Vita now. They won't show up on the store, so if you want them, you need to go onto a PS3 or PSP first to buy the game.
