I have effectively given up on BaD.  It wasn't something that I wanted to do, but it sort of just happened.  There were a couple of factors, one being the overtime at work eating into my energy.  The other is the Witch who apparently keeps tabs on everything I do at work.  So, I have had to change some of my work habits and go from being productive to super productive so that she cannot bitch about me, ever.

Hello Pixlbit. Hope everyone had a good Friday. The weekend is almost here which means I'll have some free time to post some stuff. Just thought I should write a blog before the day ends. I was just curious to find out what games you all are looking forward to this year. Feel free to list everything. There might be a title that I could look into that will catch my interest.

Not too much more......so I found out this site has a pretty cool collection section that I haven't really noticed so I will update mine this weekend. I won't be able to do all the games but I will be able to do everything I have up at college with me. With that being said I have been updating my backloggery. And it motivated something inside of me. I need to start seriously beating this thing down.

Yesterday I totally copped out on my entire comittment to play Donkey Kong and blog about it daily. Today I am going to do even less, but hopefully not scar minds in the process. To provide related content, I will point you the restoration showcase sub-form on KLOV. These guys do some awesome restorations of many things, including Donkey Kong cabinets. There's a pretty cool look at changing a Nintendo cabinet into a Fixit Felix Jr, for instance.

BaD #15: FlapThulhu

Published on February 22, 2014 1:34 AM - 1 minute read

I’m sure most of you are familiar with the Flappy Bird phenomenon that has swept through the internet in recent days. The success of Flappy Bird has spawned many imitators trying to make a quick buck but also a lot of tongue-in-cheek fun. Case in point: the Flappy Jam! Game jams are where indie devs come together and make little games around a theme. Flappy Bird is the inspiration in this case and so far 479 games have been submitted (Monday is the deadline) and though I’ve hardly had a chance to look at any of them, one of the coolest—and available on the App Store as of today—has got to be FlapThulhu, a Lovecraftian Flappy clone. It plays very similarly to Flappy Bird (fly through the openings in the columns) but has a much cooler aesthetic. It’s free and less than half a megabyte, so if you have an iOS device or a Windows PC, there’s no reason not to give it a try.

BaD 15: Quick Hits: Olympics Stuff, Games, And Pickups

Blog Entry
Published on February 21, 2014 10:43 PM - 8 minute read

Hello Pixlbit, and Happy Friday! The weekend is almost here, which means a couple of days of free time (sorry folks if you have to work on the weekends). I’m currently typing this blog while watching Team USA vs Canada for the right to go to the Gold Medal Game, so I apologize in advance if some of my writing doesn’t make sense. On this nice Friday morning I thought I would add another edition of Quick Hits (CUSS WORD, Canada just scored). For today’s Quick Hits I thought I would cover some Olympic thoughts, The Buccaneers New Helmet, What I’m Playing, and of course Pickups! So let’s get this started…and c’mon USA, get on the board!

At first I misscalculated the dates of BaD and thought that this would be the end, only to remember that February has four weeks and not three. Silly me.

So after CTR, I was stoked for the next real Crash adventure. Unfortunately I'd have to wait a while for it with Crash Bash coming in between, a game I never tried. I could give it a spin now, but it looks like a party game best suited for multiplayer and after Nintendo Land, every game like that seems like ass. Seriously, Nintendo Land is fucking amazing if you can get two to four people with you. But once Crash's next adventure landed, it took a while for me to eventually get the game (until I had an Xbox), but when I did, I was impressed....at the graphics.

Coming up on the last week of BaD, didn't think I'd make it this far honestly. Thought something would come up and disrupt everything but I'm glad that wasn't the case. I also hope I reigned in my natural talents for rambling and incoherent thought patterns enough to be understood.

This has been a BaD week for me. Started well enough with a long weekend (had President's Day off on Monday). Chessa and I took the kids out for a fun day at this place TreePaad, which was some bouncey bounces and this big obstacle course thingy with slides and all manner of padded delights. It was a pretty sweet joint and Nicholas had fun in there for 2 hours, while Mikey enjoyed crawling around the toddler area and mingling with some of the other young kids.

Yes, I'm posting game deals in here. Is that so BaD?

This weeks Humble deal is pay over 6 bucks and get 11 Adventure Company (and friends) game. If you drop 15 or more they'll also give you the recently released Raven: Legacy of a Master Thief game too. I don't know much about any of these but I'm really tempted.

So this topic is going to be a bit different...or maybe not. Anyways I love videogames, I enjoy playing video games, I'm opinionated, I review, analyze, and even try to play as many genres as possible. However, I could never do this job professionally and there are many reasons as to why.

So I stopped by a gamestop and I couldn't resist and picked up some cheap games. I think the really only notable games I picked up were LocoRoco 2 and Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City. The other games were N+, Untold Legends: The Warrior's Code, Hot Pixel, Frantix, and Lemmings. I have heard good things about the Lemmings series. I just trying to get PSP games while gamestop is selling them cheap. I am looking for some really sweet titles. Any titles do. So if you guys have recommendations, drop them by. I really like recommendations haha. I like trying new things but in the same way I don't know where to get into new things.
