I'm really trying to play more stuff but Minecraft has my soul at the moment. Mark and I are just playing it like there was no other game in the world. What can I do? It's endlessly interesting. However, I did squeeze in one other game this weekend.
Hey folks! Got another batch of game reviews I’ve written recently over at GamerDad.com! 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!
Hey I'm sorry guys, I haven't posted in almost a month. I've been working like a maniac on my writing, and I've been doing little else - not even playing games! But I keep on thinking about that game Tyranny I was telling you about.
Some Friday and Saturday gaming while eating mint cookie bites. I'm counting those calories, so it's not unrestrained snacking.
Had me some fudge mint cookies not unlike the girl scout cookies Thin Mints. Then been played some games. (Suck it Grammarly. I love red underlines)
I was below decks for part of the time but eventually, I joined in the sailing of the ship (that's code for I was playing solo and then coop later). I didn't eat the Cheez-Its but we came across a patch of sour cream and onion chips and I scooped up a few. You never know what you'll come across on the salty snack seas. It pays to keep alert. The following is the captain's log for the day.
Just wanted to let you all know that my second episode of my podcast is up! This time brother Jeff and I talk about our top five favorite home game consoles! You’ll also learn how this podcast got its name, how one of Jeff’s first words was Donkey Kong, and what 16-bit game ending made him cry! Read on for links so you can listen!
My gaming routine is as follows: play any game needed for MS Rewards; play any game needed for Game Pass rewards; go through all the games on my hard drive from smallest file size to largest. For this last objective, I play a game for the next closest achievement, decide if I want to keep it or not, and then move on to the next game. I repeat the process weekly until, hopefully, I clear my hard drive (not likely when I keep adding new games). So here is what I did the other day.
Hey folks, I got some big news for you all! I have my very own podcast now! As you all may know, I’ve been reviewing video games for around 25 years now, starting at newspapers like The Dallas Morning News and now I write for GamerDad.com. In that time things have changed a lot, as most reviewers now use audio and video like YouTube to post content. But I’ve mostly just stuck with writing since that’s what I know and what I have time for. But now my brother Jeff is getting me into the 21st century by helping me start a podcast! Read on for links to it as well as how we got started!
...a wild variety of games as I complete Game Pass quests and try and clear my hard drive going from smallest file size to largest. Sometimes I even add a new game or get a new addition on Game Pass just because. Makes for a chaotic but fun and hyper game session - just how I like it.
Let’s have some mid-summer fun with more game reviews I’ve recently written at GamerDad.com! 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!
I will have to post a link to my Reddit post, I cannot get photos to work on this site anymore, check my last post lol.
Last time we looked at the arcade cabinet shaped NEO GEO Mini, which has a total of 40 games! That’s enough to split this blog series into two parts, so here’s the second part with the rest of the games on this mini console.
I've been watching a bunch of Looney Toons lately but I only want to watch the ones made in the 50s. I've learned to read the roman numerals in the copyright date at the beginning of each short film. I have often misremembered the titles to some of my favorite shorts. i thought one was Nightmare Hare but it's actually called Water Water Every Hare. Another is Duck Dodgers in the 24th 1/2 Century but the one I really like is one with Bugs, Daffy and Marvin but I haven't nailed town the title yet. Anyway, gaming. Here's what a played that day.
I got a request to capture this trailer from a very early demo disc used in kiosks in 2001. It's a neat disc in a way because it will just play through all the trailers automatically if you leave it running on an original Xbox.
Gamed until I felt like I just wanted to quit and go home. I did eventually find a comfortable game to sink my time into.
I basically raged through a bunch of games today taking no guff from any game: kill me and feel my deleting wrath. Too many games will do this to a person, I think. But I did stick with a few of them.
When I was a kid, (well, early teen I guess), game maker SNK came out with a console called the NEO GEO. The games on it were arcade perfect, which was amazing, but not really when you consider the cartridges were the same being used in the NEO GEO arcade machines that let you choose which games to play. The only downside was the home console was EXPENSIVE! The console itself cost more than 700 bucks, and each game was over 100 dollars! I didn’t know ANYONE back then who owned a NEO GEO! That’s why when I see a NEO GEO collection now for cheap, I feel compelled to buy it. It’s like retribution. Take that, SNK! I can afford your stuff now! So the fad in the past few years is to make mini game consoles with games already included on them. They’ve done it with the NES, SNES, SEGA Genesis, TG-16, and more. And now they’re doing it with the NEO GEO! But this one is different! Instead of being shaped like a tiny NEO GEO, it’s made to look like a little arcade machine! You can even play the games on a small screen, so it’s portable, too! But you can also hook it up to a big TV! I got one at a reasonable price, so let’s take a look at it!
On this, comic's day, I found three video game ads in an issue of Ex Machina #31 from December of 2007. Here's what they look like.
