My buddy Mark and I have been playing video games for a long, long time. What we play together are mainly run-and-gun style FPSes, action movie stuff with over-the-top attitude to the point of the ridiculous. Comedy is a big part of our collective gaming. Our games have to have a big boom, wild crashes, explosions, or any game that has in its description “destructible environments”. I often think of the SCTV skit Farm Film Celebrity Blow-Up in relation to our gaming.

I'm finally on chapter 5 of Bravely Default. There have been some interesting developments in the plot. I'm at level 72 currently and I'm trying to get all my Adventurer Shops to level 11.

Since my brother works at what is now AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX, a.k.a. The Spaceship, a.k.a. "Jerry's World," a.k.a. what I'm still going to be calling Cowboys Stadium because it takes so much less time to say than the new "correct" name, he got my family tickets to take a VIP Tour of the stadium. It was my older brother's day off, so his friend L'amont gave us and whoever else the tour. He was funny and everyone liked the tour. I took a shit ton of pictures that I will post with a recap of the tour later. 

So, South Park:The Stick of Truth came out last week. Having beat the game, I can say that it's really fucking good. A little too vague, particularly with the puzzles and the fart mechanics do not quite work as well as they should, but that doesn't change that the game is every South Park fan's wet dream. It doesn't ignore any of South Park's past, jokes, gags, and characters they don't really touch anymore such as Mr. Hankey and Professor Chaos are present. It's just great.

Going to make a big post on this soon, but in the meantime, give me 'yer friend codes! :D

You know if you don't have a good connection, expect to have a lot of frustration. In one match I had over 30 connection issues. The crazy thing is everyone else is going about the battle like normal. I had two Pilots jump on me easily because I was unable to move because of a connection issue. RIght when I got reconnected, my Titan was nearly destroyed after just entering battle with it.

After getting a pretty restful sleep, the first in a long time, I finally came to a conclusion about how to end BaD...by just ending it. You know all avaunt guard like. Just an instant cut to a black screen, no "the end", no credits, and more importantly none of that weird feelings you get after watching an avaunt guard film. What ever an avaunt guard film really is. Look I'm happy that I did 28 days straight of blogging but its so nice to end now. Maybe its because my life is fucked up right now but I just need sometime without the pressure to keep going. Of course, all of this pressure came from me, including my slightly stupid decision to cross post all of my BaD on 1UP (which is pretty active by the way). It wasn't as fun as last year's BaD, which was only fun until 1UP's sudden closure, I'm still happy I did. And made and met a bunch of new people along the way too, which is always a plus. So thank you everyone for reading and commenting. Hopefully I'll see you all next year, which I hope will be better than this year.

It’s almost St. Patrick’s Day!  And you know what that means?  We all have to wear green!  Green is my favorite color, and I have some Irish in my family so St. Patrick’s Day is a pretty fun holiday for me.  So in honor of that, here is a blog about my favorite green video game characters!  They’re always ready for St. Patrick’s Day!  These are in no particular order, by the way.

Hi everyone. Thanks for the well wishes. Yesterday at my job wasn't that great though and didn't get much sleep. Then I suppose that is better than none. I'm still not over my funk and tomarrow's my last day of BaD so I'm not sure how I'm going to end it. All I do know is that I want it to be better than the moppy shit I've been writing. Other than that I've been playing The King of Fighters XII which is pretty interesting to say the least. Here's one last Giant Bomb video for BaD and I'll see you all tomarrow.

I dislike suffering through headaches, especially since I have to deal with them on a regular basis, but they have their odd advantages. Mainly due to the fact that for whatever reason, I seem to be able to come up with more writing ideas than normal when dealing with them.

Well it appears what goes around comes around. Some of you may remember I was going to do a series of blogs on trap games (only actually did the one) and had mentioned the Deception series. Well your going to get another chance to check it out if you missed the PS1 and PS2 games because the newest entry arrives this month for Vita and PS3.

In between watching the pilot/first episodes to a bunch of stuff in my Netflix cue to see what should or shouldn't stay in there, I decided to listen to jgusw and his friend's podcast about 80s cartoons and play Travis Hawk's Frothy Bird game. 

Well fuck you, I was busy. Here's a cat picture.

Dark Souls 2 and Titanfall both are released tomorrow which is in like a half hour. I loved the Titanfall beta but Dark Souls is amazing. I will probably get Dark Souls 2 tomorrow as I like have that single player experience. And I am not feeling interacting with XBL people or people at my college. I have been volunteering my time in the weight room at my college. 10 and a half hours in two days plus my own lifting session plus track practices. It is a lot on top of everything. So I am adjusting to that. So I won't have lots of time to blog, play video games, or do anything "nerd" that I soooo do enjoy. I really want to read some comic books. I might try to get some on my phone so I can read them inbetween volunteer hours. I just really want to get into some indie stuff and dig deeper in my favorite super heroes. Sorry guys I haven't been as active as I was and fallen off pretty hard after BaD

i feel a bit like Sandra Bullock's character in the movie Gravity...floating FOREVER just outside of the given boundaries of my homeworld, yet presented with obstacles to finding the route home....
