News broke this week that Nintendo will shut down its Wi-Fi Connection for the Wii and DS on May 20. That means no more online Animal Crossing or Mario Kart or Smash Bros. There's a full list here of affected games. It's not the lack of online play that bothers me. I didn't play online much anyway. No, it's the disappearance of the additional downloadable content that bothers me. Take the Professor Layton series, for instance. I haven't played any of those games—heck, I don't even own any of them—but I want to, and while I'm sure the main games offer more than enough puzzles to keep anyone busy, all those games offer downloadable puzzles. Gobs of them, I hear. They'll all be gone. Same thing with the two Picross games for DS, another couple I've always wanted but never gotten around to buying. What about all the extra content for Dragon Quest IX? I actually own that game, thanks to my wife getting it a couple years ago. Should I drop everything and try to play through that? I can't decide.
Hello, everyone. Today is the last day of BaD. I kind of regret not commenting on everyone blogs. There were some really interesting and great blogs this year. But it just kind of got overwhelming to catch every single one. Plus, I didn't have the greatest February myself. Those aren't great reasons why I should have done better, I know. I do want to say to congrats to everyone who wrote, commented, and read this year's BaD... as well as congrats to everyone who is continuing writing.
It sucks that I missed out on the Blog a Day, though I'm sure I wouldn't have been able to keep up with it.
Continuing the tradition of underrated gems (Or simply flops I happened to like!) Here are a few more games on that questionably esteemed list!
I really hate the month of February. About the only thing good about it is BaD. It's the ass-end of winter, too many bad memories, and the point when I'm flat broke and know my first paycheck won't be until mid-April. Blah!
It's a bit like Good Friday, which when I was Catholic and living at home meant the last Friday we had to have either cheese pizza or Long John Silvers for dinner, only in this case it's not blogging that was being given up and it ends in February.
Crash Twinsanity is worse than Assassin's Creed 3. It belongs high up on the "Worst Things Humanity Ever Made" list along with the Star Wars prequels, nuclear waste, Agent Orange, and Tim Tebow. Everything about this game is torture, which is made even worse because it has potential. There's a mix of good ideas and the terrible ideas, none of which work well. This review needs to be a little more in than my other coverage of the Crash games because what's wrong with it boils down to everything.
It’s the end of BaD, I just got Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy, Wind Rises is out in theaters this weekend, and I’ll likely be playing Borderlands 2 all day on Sunday. It’s a good week.
It is Friday Pixlbit, and we have cross the BaD Finish Line! Another year has passed and for everyone who participated congrats! I’m going to find it a little odd to not post something everyday next week, but it will be good to go back to my usual two blogs a week. Since it is Friday here in “rainy” (in my neck of the woods it’s overcast and every once in a while sprinkles…STORM WATCH 2014!) For this week’s Quick Hits I thought I’d cover my thoughts on new Survivor, Added more folks to the Mii Plaza, Quick Update on my baseball game, and Pickups! Sound good? Well heck let’s get this final BaD started!
... and I hope you all feel fine. I on the other hand feel like crap. My whole body hurts from this bug I've got. Hell, even my teeth hurt.
Well it's my last blog for BaD. I already did my reflection so unfortunately I can't do another one (OR CAN I!?) Since it's the last day of BaD here is what I learned in 2013 and beyond....
HELL AND DAMNATION I MISSED A DAY
I bet alot of you were wondering "when is Captain N was going to answer our questions?" Well I haven't forgotten, I was just saving the best for last since today is the last day of BaD. I would like to thank everyone for sending in their questions, but now lets get on with the long awaited Q/A blog!
HOLD UP! Wait just a minute! It seems I've forgotten a game... So, we'll take SWAT off this list, move everything back, and make this number 6...
There's one more Crash game to cover, but I want to save that for tomorrow to end BaD off with a bang. So I thought I'd talk about the state of the Bandicoot now. And there is no better way to illustrate it than with this image:
It started off a really good day.......found out some bad news. I am really stressed about it...........All I have been doing is trying to get my mind off of it. I might pull an all nighter playing XCOM. Oh yea I got XCOM today. A local FYE was closing so they had mad discounts so I went and bought some stuff for my girlfriend. They had a ton of superman stuff so yay.
Well, its getting close to the end of BaD...well at least for everyone. For me I plan on continuing till 28 days. Why? I don't know. I did this last year, why change? Somethat will change the next few posts will be blog lenght. I didn't intend to my blogs to be so short and I wanted to post and write longer stuff but it just never pans out. So yeah, I that's pretty much all I had planned to write today. I'm kind of in a lot pain right now because I pulled a muscle in my neck. I had to miss work tonight. I suppose that woud be a good thing, barring the pain I'm in. Couldn't get much sleep in either. Man, its not my day. Or my week. Or years its feels like. Anyway I'll just close with some groovy music and see you all later.
Everybody always talked up Tiny Wings so much that I jumped at the chance to get it when it went free for a brief time. But then it sat on my phone for months and months and that, my friends, was a sad mistake on my part. Tiny Wings is indeed awesome.
