It’s time to get rid of all that Halloween candy fat and get ready for the food onslaught of Thanksgiving and Christmas!  So I’m here to get you in shape with these game reviews!  Well, OK, not really, but please click on the links and read as many as you can, and maybe post a ‘like’ or comment or two.  I’d appreciate it.  OK let’s begin!

Games Beaten

Halloween I played as much Island Saver as I could get through. I finished the 3 islands you get for free and bought (for $5) the first DLC island full of dinos and finished that too. There is one more island, a fantasy themed one that's another $5. I'll probably get that next weekend and finish it. Then I might go for a complete achievement run. I still need the last collectible on each island. It's always one left when you finish a level, isn't it.

First two I played for Game Pass rewards. The rest trying to clear up my harddrive. That 111GB Forza Horizon 5 has installed but is not playable yet. That's a lot of Gigabytes - the new norm I'm told for triple-A games. 

I guess I don't have one game I'm totally obsessed with right now, so it's jumping around a lot from game to game. This will change on Nov 5 (I think) when Forza Horizon 5 drops. 

I have the post with pictures here:

This week it's clearly Halloween-style games on Game Pass rewards. I recall now that I've played a lot of horror games chasing rewards points over the year. I realized it when I got into a conversation with a Gamestop salesman and knew every game he, a horror game fan, was talking about. I did, at times, have some trouble differentiating one from another. It's what happens when you play a dozen or so games but just an hour or two each. I would probably play very few horror games if it weren't for Game Pass rewards quests. It's not my favorite genre. 

BOO! No tricks!  Just treats in the form of game reviews I’ve recently written over at GamerDad.com.  Please click on the links and read as many as you can, and maybe post a few ‘likes’ or comments if possible.  I’d appreciate it.  OK let’s begin!

Again I'll break it down between games played for Xbox Game Pass/MS rewards and my own choices. All Xbox One this week. Wish I could mix it up more with the other console makers, but I only have room for two systems up at once at my friend's place and right now it's Xbox One and Xbox 360. 

I guess my playing breaks down into two parts. One is stuff I play for rewards points and two is stuff I play for my own interests. So I'll group these that way. 

On Friday my friend and I took a trip to York, PA to go to Timeline Arcade. York is about 2 hours west of where I am. I only know this town because it's the hometown of the band Live who had some hit songs in the 90s like "Lightning Strikes". The arcade is right in the center of town near the courthouse. I accidently forgot to photograph the facade, but I got a lot of shots of the arcade cabinets and pinball machines I played. 

WarioWare: Get it Together was recently released on Switch, so in honor of that, I wanted to write a blog about it!  At first I thought about talking about all the games in the WarioWare series, but I did that last time a new WarioWare game came out, so you can just read that blog here if you want.  Not much would’ve changed anyway if I did it again.  But WarioWare: Get it Together has a focus on characters, so I figured I’d go over all the crazy characters in the series and how they play in this game!  So let’s get started!

Games Beaten

I just love chasin' MS rewards points and Game Pass rewards points for online MS bucks at the end of every month. $10 bucks worth. I usually do that before joining my friend in playing whatever he's playing, which right now it nothing but Minecraft. I also played during the Eagles football game while my friend watched it. I've totally lost my emotion for live sports. I'd rather play Undertale. 

We’re going to start celebrating Halloween a little bit early with game reviews I’ve recently written over at GamerDad.com.  We’ve got games featuring witches, ghosts, and some retro goodness, too!  Please click on the links and read as many as you can, and maybe even post a ‘like’ or comment or two.  I’d appreciate it.  OK let’s begin!

...after a very long time. I mainly did it to play Pinball Hall of Fame: Williams Collection but I also pulled out a few others from my collection too. Luckily the Xbox app on my phone records what you played on Xbox Series X, Xbox One and Xbox 360 so I can remember what I played last weekend. I expected sign-in problems on 360 but, other than updating my network data, it was no problem. 

Let's see what recent games I played on Xbox One from the Xbox phone app, cause gosh knows, I can't remember. 

Hey everybody, I'm sorry I've been absent lately. I've been working so hard on my projects, I've been neglecting a lot of stuff. And I don't think that's going to change. But I was thinking to myself, how can I include Pixlbit into my creativity? So... I've got something cooking, and I think you're going to enjoy it. 

When I do one of my podcasts with my brothers, I try to think of a topic that we can both talk about enthusiastically.  My brother Ben, who is the oldest of my younger brothers on my dad’s side, he’s really into music.  I’m into music more than what you might think I am, too, I just don’t talk about it as much.  So I thought a topic we could both talk about together is our favorite video game music composers.  I hope you all get to listen to this one and maybe even learn a thing or two!

Games Beaten

Donkey Kong made me a fan of Nintendo very early on. To this day, DK is my favorite arcade game of all time. I loved it for being one of the most colorful, expressive games out there. It was probably as close as you could get in the early 80s to having a playable cartoon show. So naturally, when more Nintendo games started showing up at the arcade, my young self was excited. And if any game could tear me away from DK, it was Mario Bros. 

Today the flooding shut down work so I played. I caught up with my general and Game Pass rewards quests, bought a new game, and dove back into Minecraft for a bit.
