Well, the cookie clicker guy is a jerk. I was roped back into the game because I missed it. I was literally a day away from finishing up all the achievements. What does he do? He updates the game and adds another handful of updates and a new building. Will this game ever end? I am having so much difficulty saying goodbye to it.
Rising is a strange spin-off. In many ways it's the exact opposite of what people expect from Metal Gear Solid. But in other ways, it shares a lot in common with Metal Gear in how bizarre it is. From Raiden stabbing himself to prove how nuts he is to the final boss against professional wrestler Glenn Beck, this game is weird in so many good ways. But it's a different kind of weird, the Platinum Games weird. Yet, it actually fits really well with Metal Gear and ended up being second only to 3 in the series for me and my favorite of Platinum's games.
So I've often talked about how busy I am as a high up business guy. But just what exactly do I do? Most people don't go into what they do for a living and I can say that unless you ask well you won't get an answer. We've all had those dead end jobs. Jobs that don't pay too well or jobs that do. Some jobs we like, others we don't. I remember getting a paper route at 13 years old and thinking about how awesome that paltry $60 was when I got it. Delivering papers on my bicycle after school every day and early Sunday mornings was awful.
Before I start this week's game, let me reveal the answers from last week!
Tomorrow is Friday the 14th and you know what than means, We'll Be almost half Done!
Well it’s Thursday and the final day of WOMiP. It has been fun sharing another hobby with you good folks on Pixlbit, and for today I thought I would share my Top 10 songs I listened to for 2013. I bought my laptop at the end of 2012 and spent the next couple of months moving over all my CDs to my new iTunes account. I still have my deactivated one on my old laptop, which I need to erase and just keep the mixtapes and other random audio files, but I will leave that to a lazy rainy Sunday. For a bit of an explanation on my Top 10 list, I tend to go through phases with singles where I will listen to one song maybe 4-5 times in a row, and then move on, or while listening to an album I’ll get stuck on that song, listen to it a couple of times, and then move on to the next track. Anyways let’s jump right into Chris’ Top 10 Singles for 2013!
So I was in the next town over yesterday, and hard to park in a municipal lot that used a ticket system. I ducked into a nearby Gamestop to ask about it, since there's a two hour limit between 9 and 6; I also asked whether they had any PS4's in stock out of curiosity.
I had a blog planned for yesterday, but I guess my body saw fit to shut down, since I had been awake for too long. That's ultimately a good thing, my sleep schedule needed turning around anyway.
I hate traffic! My drive to work is usually uneventful these days.
Well, it's official-- I'm snowed in and on telework status. YAY! Today's DnB is brought to you by a gent know as Random Movement with his song "Down Somehow". This is a great song to chill out to. Very milky smooth drum beats and bass lines compimented by a nice vocal loop. Check it out. You can't help but to bounce to the rythm just a little bit.
This one is pretty cool. You might call it the runner RPG, though that’s certainly an oversimplification. Yes, your party of four characters does run from left to right automatically but you still have a ton of control, like jumping, forward slashes, special attacks, backward leaps, and ranged attacks. Each level lasts maybe a minute but the game packs a lot into that small amount of time. Townspeople along your path will give you quests, usually to kill certain monsters or collect something like fruit of gems, and then you’re off! Well, you never actually stopped. The quests are very repetitive but they’re so short that they don’t feel that way, and that makes a big difference. You also get gold and random loot at the end of each level. The loot is generally pieces you can use to upgrade your characters. The graphics look like a fantasy cartoon and the music fits the onscreen action well.
Super Mario 64 was the first game to realize 3D gaming. This is important, since it beat out its closest rival by a few months. There had been attempts in the past by its arch nemesis, Sega, as well. Around that time, the whole landscape of gaming was changing. New people were starting to play games, and the next generation was about to take over.
I am in the minority of women when it comes to Valentine's Day. I loathe it, with a passion. Any psuedo holiday that is used to guilt people into buying shit or making people feel bad that they're not in a relationship is evil. And if that isn't bad enough, it's the day six years ago that my dad dropped dead of a heart attack. I am in a relationship, have been for 15 years, and we have always made it a point to not celebrate on the day of. We'll do something, but never on the day of. Why go through the agony of trying to find a restaurant that isn't booked solid selling over-priced set menus when you can go out the day before or the day after and have your choice of retaurants and food?
I love LOOT!!!! Plain and simple. Borderlands 1 and 2. They have lots of guns to get and lots of loot. Diablo 2. The granddaddy of Loot. The Elder Scrolls Series has a lot of loot. Other than that, I honestly haven't played that many games with tons of loot. Which is sad because I have made this a sub-genre in my world of gaming. Does it deserve it???
