Ok, I'm stretchin' for 'em today. I've got my headphones on and I'm playing BD as I write this so it's going to be short. I'm about to awaken the Water Crystal so I can look forward to something big and mean jumping out at me.
Hey BaD folks! Happy Tuesday, and currently it’s 80 degrees in Sunny SoCal, and I am currently having lunch while I type up my next installment of WOMiP. Today I thought I would share what audiobooks and podcasts I have on my iPod. I do love to listen to music as go about my day but there are times when I like to listen to people talk and enjoy a new book, so for today it’s the other audio files on my iPod
As I'm writing this, I woke up 30 minutes ago. It was 3 p.m. and I need to be at work by at least 4:30 p.m. So this will be brief.
Not too much this week of interest to me except for a new comic by Antony Johnston. I’m still trying to get that new Behemoth album at BestBuy. Didn’t see it today, but the web site says it’s there so I’ll have to go back and ask someone. I’ll have to blog about that tomorrow.
I seem to be in an rpg fix as of late. But while I sink in countless hours into games that I will never finish I want to talk about leveling or level grinding for this blog. Rpg's usually follow the staple of the highest level being 99. This is usually the case in games like Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest. It's the golden number. The one you hope to achieve. Often though you will get games that buck that trend.
I'll begin by saying I will not be wrighting out a review for black ops and modern warfare 3 CoD. For some reason I could not do it at all. It might be due to the fact that I only play the story mode for the game and I don't really pay much attention to anything else but what is happening in the story and where I need to go next and destroy. So that being said I decided to just start up my Phoenix Wright game review instead (will be published this weekend).
Continuing my journey in Bravely Default, while aquiring some new jobs in the process. Some of the turns the story takes were unexpected, to say the least. Unless I just wasn't too swift on the uptake, which has happened while playing though other games.
Question. What was your favorite game in the 90's. mine a toss up. either FF8 / Zelda OoT / 007 Goldeneye. ready set go......
There's little doubt about this, learning just how to get truly smooth skin is much simpler than you may be thinking. Take advantage of these tricks daily to maintain your skin softer, smoother and finally substantially younger seeming. As they're completely natural, in addition they help boost your current well-being and potential wellbeing also.
And now that I have written that title I really want to go watch some Flying Circus. Specifically the gumby brain specialist skit, but any of them will do.
I don't have much to write about today. I'm famous for being up well past 12:00 midmight playing on my PlayStation 3 instead of joining the wife in sleepyville. Well, I'm sort of paying for it this moring. I'm light on words and heavy on that "I need coffee" feeling. But I will prevail! Anyway, today's DnB is brought to you by Submorphics (no pictured in the YouTube video) with his song "Hurt So Bad". It's a bit retitive, but I can't enough of the 70's-ish vocals. Unfortunately, this 2 minute and 30 second snippet was all I could find, but that might be perfect seeing as how I don't have much to say today myself.
One rather hilarious trend I've seen in discussions about sales figures and financials is the comment that "Nintendo hardware sales have dropped continuously ever since the SNES came out." It conveniently ignores the Wii, which sold more than the Gamecube and N64 combined and is far ahead of the PS3 and 360 in sales. In a gaming community that will pick apart even the smallest numbers to prove a point, the way they ignore the Wii's higher hardware/software sales and profits is quite fascinating. It says a lot about just how emotionally invested people are in financial figures, and the way they'll twist and contort around stats they don't like to protect their world view.
So yesterday turned out a little more exciting than I had initially anticipated/hoped for. While on the highway on my way home from work my car had a blowout in the rear wheel on the passenger side. Fuck me, was that scary. I managed to keep control and pull over luckily enough which was good. So I’m there on the side of the highway, flashers on, with my car jacked up, when I realize that no matter how hard I try, I can’t get the fucking nuts to loosen on the tire. Of course it was cold too. Bloody hell. Very luckily, a tire service truck passes me and stops to see if I need any help. This absolute gentleman was able to loosen the nuts with a pneumatic wrench and had me on my way pretty quickly. What a fucking relief I tell ya. Most annoying thing is, I’m like two mins from my house this whole time. Oh well, it could’ve been a lot worse.
Final Fantasy VI! I could seriously talk about this game all day. It's my favorite video game of all time.
In these years I was going to private school and lost touch with my neighborhood friends who still went to the public school and so didn't play much on home consoles anymore. However, my friend Phil (also a private school kid, not going to the same school though) and I hung out and rode our bikes all the way to the the arcade in the Mall. It was five miles and one mega hill away. I was an athlete then and it was just fun to climb that hill on the way back every time.
I'm trying to solve a mystery. The mystery of why it took me so long to type this blog. So far, what I've uncovered has revealed much, yet my story seems to make less and less sense as I go along.
This is just going to be a short blog today. I have talked with many people and observed how a lot of people treat their favorite games. They usually have played through it a million times, mastering mechanics and memorizing details of plot, gameplay, everything. Now I don't know how you guys do it but I am a much different kind of beast.
