My addiction to this game is back, lol. I have been a whole lot of it recently on Steam. Has anyone else? Loving the mods (see below). My character is John Marston, can't tell obviously in this picture. I'll try to get a new blog up soon.
No not the TARDIS weiners, 30 flash sales for a couple of hours each at 90% off and as usual no DRM
First it was Halo now Gears. What other game franchises does Microsoft own now? Well, a lot. Just to name a few are: Age of Empires, Crackdown, Fable (‘cause they own Lionhead), and all the games by Rare and Twisted Pixel (‘cause they own them too). Microsoft has partnered with many developers as well including formerly Sony exclusive Insomniac Games who are now going to release Sunset Overdrive later this year for Xbox One.
But I will participate. So here's the deal. I'm going to offer a few series or developers and then I'll give my thoughts on a different entry each day. I already did Zelda and (somewhat) Halo back at 1up, so that's off the table. But tell me what you want to see and I'll tackle that one. Depending on the series I can do 2 of them. So here's the list
In the words of the wise, headless Ned Stark, "winter is coming." That's a fact. It's always coming. That's not at all relevant to this conversation, but the show is nearly back on and I'm excited.
Hello everyone! Following my 1 year blog I think I just sort of dropped off the map, but I plan to fully fix that with BaD! I only did BaD on the weekends last year to sort of test the waters, but this time I came up with a list of topics I want to cover and I fully intend to do so! Here goes:
I think what I like most about games in the environment art. I got a 360 for Oblivion based mainly on the wonderful vistas. I got a Vita because that system really shows off well the Japanese ink style of games like Muramasa: Rebirth and Sumioni: Demon Arts. I loved the environments in Halo: CE that got me into an Xbox and the space scenes in Star Wars: Rogue Leader - Rogue Squadron 2 that sold me a Gamecube, and on and on and on. Gameplay is great, and the feel of the controls is essential to my enjoyment of a game, but the environment is what really excites me.
As to 1:14 pm this afternoon almost 107,000 Americans have petitioned to deport Justin Bieber. Only 35602 fewer signatures than the petition to pardon Edward Snowden.
Hi folks! Recent visits to VGchartz have made me feel all warm and fuzzy. Not only is PS3 continuing to surpass 360, but PS4 is beating Xbox One even in the United States! Lol! Finally, FINALLY the time has come! I knew it would!
What do I have planned for BaD. Haha, as if I'd make it that easy for myself.
Remember folks BaD officially starts next Monday February 3rd because the original rules state that we don't need to blog on weekends.
Remember in this blog where I mentioned that I would spend 2014 in Belgium before going to college? Well, I just want to let you know guys i'm already there since the 26 of January.
Ok guys, I've been away from the site for a while because A) Exams, and B) I'm saving my blogging ideas for BaD. So, here are my plans for BaD
As we transition away from last gen, developers are finally able to stretch outside of the sardine cans they've been stuck in for the past 8 years. With machines more powerful and easier to work with, next-gen visuals are already a big step up over the graphics of the past. The visuals of games like Ryse and Killzone SFhave been a breath of fresh air for me, as I was so disgusted with the sub-30fps, sub-720p nonsense last go-round that I moved towards PC gaming.
I played a bunch of Borderlands 2 yesterday with MADKRAMMER, picked up Tales of Vesperia, and preordered Fable Anniversay this morning.
So, it's been about a month since I announced my plans to develop forums for PixlBit and I figured I'd provide you guys with an update so that you don't think I got your hopes up and bailed. Things have been coming along, albeit a bit more slowly than I hoped. For one, there's a lot of engineering required to get them built. Lots of scenarios to consider, lots of functions to create all from the ground up. Two, I've been a bit busy in general and it has significantly slowed my efforts. Compound that with having the flu for around a week and my forum development effort was slowed much more than I planned.
I don't really have much, but I did see a picture that has gotten me all excited yesterday.
So tonight I finally came across info regarding the PS4 verison of Realm Reborn and oh am I excited! Some of you may remember I participated in the Beta for the PS3 verison back in 2013. I fell in love with the game but I made a big choice to actually sit back and wait on the PS4 verison. These past few months have been a bit of drag concerning the game for the PS4 not to mention a lil worrisome since I was really wanting the collectors set and it wasnt excatly announced then and there for the next gen verison. So I took the big step of missing out to chance it with the PS4 and well it paid off dammit!
Sorry, I had a weird day. Not necessarily a rough one, but a long one.
So, Telltale's currently working on four different games at once, and I think spreading themselves too thin. Out of them, the only one I know for certain I'll play is Walking Dead Season 2 with Wolf Among Us as a maybe. Game of Thrones and Borderlands though? Hell no! I realize I'm in the minority for GoT, but Borderlands? Who thought its world was so interesting or there were stories to tell. Borderlands is a 3rd rate Fallout in terms of world, it's successful because of how amazing an idea Diablo meets FPS was. So here's some series, both in and out of gaming, I think would work much better than Borderlands.
Hey guys, you know I like to do Retro Game of the Week each Saturday and look at an old game. Well I found out today that a brand-new Super NES game has just been released! You read that right. Some dude found an old program of a game back in the 90s that was never finished, and he got the rights to finish it. This particular game is called Nightmare Busters, developed by a French team what I hear. So this game, which was never finished before, is now being released for the first time ever!
