So I finally got my copy and I freaking love this game! If you have a 3DS I would totally recommend adding this game to your must buy list. Its fun and enjoyable to sit/lay down and play. I plan todo a review in a few days for it, for now...Imust...get back to my game!!!!!
Hey Pixlbit! A couple of things that I encountered yesterday that I’d like to share my thoughts:
Hmm... this is apparently only the 15th blog I've written since I came here to PixlBit. I don't know what it is, but something about writing here is different from when I was over at 1UP. I don't mean that as a slight against the community or the people who run this site, but... well, I suppose real life has been getting in the way. That, and games on systems other than the NES...
Sorry I haven't been commenting much in the past two weeks. Been kinda busy in the real world. Bought my first expensive piece of art at my friend Kat's art gallery, will post pics when it's delivered. That was a day trip, she lives up the coast aways. Spent last Sunday at the Portsmouth Maritime Folk Festival, Monday with my friend Claire from California, yesterday with Andrew and Carole from Wales, doing chores and packing for my trip to Maryland tomorrow, and going to a music party at my friend Mary's tonight with Claire, Andrew, Carole, Terry from London, and a bunch of the "local" folkies. Next week I shall sleep, lol.
It appears that I am feeling fairly talkative right now. Even though I may be self-conscious about my writing abilities, I know that writing is something that stimulates my brain. The other thing that helps me write is knowing that I actually do enjoy writing. I never really had issues writing papers in school. I even got an amazing scholarship for college because of an essay that I wrote. The one thing that I do really hate about writing is the editing process, which is why I rarely go back an edit what I have already written. I should make more of an effort to edit, if only to sound less like an idiot. I am sitting down and writing now because I finally feel my thought process settling down. If anybody noticed, my last couple of posts have been all over the place. There was a paragraph that was "finished" mid-sentence. I will warn you that I may re-cover some items from last time or the time before.
I think that we will start with movies. There are two specific points that I would like to talk about as far as movies are concerned. The first being the opportunities that I have to watch movies with my wife, and then the movies that I will never watch with my wife. My wife, Marie, had different priorities before she met me. Most of them have not changed, but now she is more willing to spend time actually watching movies. She has missed out on years of fantastic films and I have the wonderful opportunity to introduce her to them. She most like would have never watched a single Studio Ghibli film if it were not for me. Most recently we sat down and watched the Ghostbusters franchise. She enjoyed and laughed through both films. I know that Ghostbusters 2 has some problems, but I do not think that it deserves as much hate as some people throw at it. It is still enjoyable. There are certain types of movies that I still enjoy, but I know that Marie hates. Films that fall into the horror or gruesome categories or just plain stupid. So, whenever I find the time I do watch one of these types of films. Most recently I finished up Let Sleeping Corpses Lie, which is possibly my favourite zombie movie, ever. It is a fairly typical zombie film from the 70s, but there is just something about it that elevates it above the rest of the sub-genre. Some guy at work kept talking about Miami Connection and so I did watch that. It is quite possibly the funniest and stupid movie I have seen in quite some time. You need to check it out, Miami Connection. Also, on the topic of awful films, I have recently acquired access to a couple of Troma films and hope to watch Toxic Avenger and Class of Nuk'em High over the next couple of weeks.
I just wanted to talk a little bit about Kickstarter. So far I have backed a dozen or so items on Kickstarter. I need to stop backing projects. The majority of the games that I have backed are coming out specifically on PC and I rarely play PC games. I think that I just got caught up in the moment and had a lapse of judgment. A lapse of judgment that apparently keeps reoccurring. Shovel Knight is the only one that I know I will play because of the fact that it it coming out on 3DS. Hyper Light Drifter has an amazing art style and thankfully it is coming out on the PS4 and Vita, because otherwise I probably would not play it. Wasteland 2, Shadowrun Returns, Banner Saga, Project Eternity, and Torment are all games that I backed, but probably should not have. I have backed a couple of card games and so far one has delivered, Boss Monster, and the other two seem as though they should be going to the presses within the month. What I am trying to say is that I am not quite sure how I feel about Kickstarter. I should probably just block the website on all of the browsers that I use.
Just to recap the important bits. Ghostbusters 2 is not as bad as you remember. You need to watch both Miami Connection and Let Sleeping Corpses Lie, but for different reasons. Also, I think I changed my mind... I hate Kickstarter, but I also love it. It is mostly hate.
So I got the automatic download about 9 am yesterday and loaded it up and created a character with a hefty 12 generations of mom dad grandma granddad etc to base my characters looks on then it shows me in a plane arriving at Los Santos airport and young black thug picking me up at the airport saying hes got my back etc so I arrive at a race srarting point given a ride then the game loads up and thats it, no more,the game says looking for other players indefinitely so after some research it seems that gta online is another Simcity online launch a complete mess,and also reports of the online game corrupting your gta5 story mode as well, so everyone except a few are having major issues and for the life of me Rockstar knowing how many games they sold were not better prepared for the heavy load of servers needed for an online launch go figure.
I wish I could say that the fact that I haven't been writing much is that I'm having a thrilling adventure, living life to the fullest, and feeling at the top of my game... but that would be a lie. A really great lie that I would gladly trade my current standing, but a lie nevertheless. I've hit rock bottom, at least from a personal standing. Yesterday, after coming home from a rough night at my 3rd shift job, then having a hard time sleeping in the day, and finally just plain being a really cranky ass to myself and others, I kind of found it hard to be happy about anything really.
Hey Pixlbit. Been a while without one, busy with school, reviewing (will try to get a blog up on my recent reviews sometime soon), and other shit. But here's the games I've been playing before the double punch of Wind Waker HD and Pokemon X/Y consume my life.
So this mornng i checked my local Gamestops to see if they had RF4 in yet and well I got told it wasnt avaiable till tomorrow. When I checked the site again before going to work they had updated there stock thing online and now some stores around me have it and I work till 9pm when they close. Rune Factory 4, why do you hate me sooo.....Im gonna go to work now and be a debbie downer.
As I predicted correctly, I finished up A Link to the Past over the weekend. My favourite thing about the game is entering the dungeons and collecting the item and moving onto the next. After collecting all of the items I go back as a Super-Powered Link and am able to knock out all of the bosses in an hour or so.
Its been awhile so i thought I'd let everyone know I'm not dead. I've been around just lurking. Haven't really had the ambition to keep up a blog. Too much shit going through my mind lately and its hard to just focus on typing one out. I got things figured out a bit and maybe I will try this again (no guarentees though) I had to remove someone who was once close to me from my life for a few reasons. Now that she's gone i can kind of think clearly haha
Some Demo footage from Japan.
The use of the torch is interesting. Also some familiar baddies; those skeleton/wheel things towards the end.
Just something I found here that I thought it would be fun to post.
I was curious about how much the trade in credit wout be for KH DD for the 3DS since it is still going for about 28 used. I want the WD for the Vita and figured that I could maybe do a straight trade for a used one, which is 19.99. Now to the point they tell me the credit would be 6 in cash or 8 for trade in. 30% more if I put i toward a game that just came out. I said no thanks. lol.
Hello Pixlbit! Monday is here (BOOOOOO) but that just means we are one day closer to Friday (YAY!). So how was your weekend? Anything good happen? Any new games you played, and what to share? It was back to the usual for me, with the exception of one trip to the Home Depot to be all manly and talk about nails and wood. Actually it was more along the lines of the hallway light went out and when you want to go to the kitchen after watching Ghost Adventures, you can keep up with Usain Bolt. (That’s for you scared folks, as for myself I keep a lamp on close to the kitchen, so I can calmly walk like’s it no big thing).
It has been awhile again my dear blog...I have gotten a few new games for my DS/3DS and Wii, work is work nothing has changed there, no new games beat, anime has not been watched much as of late, the only change is...life has been so stressful I am ready to break!
I really hate the show, but I want to try the game out. It is $7 at gamestop. Has anyone played it?
I began this week with a major restructuring of my collection. I gave up my ridiculously ambitious quest to play every single 360 game for achievements for two reasons: one – probably won’t finish all of them until 2020; two – I don’t get much gaming time in with my friend anymore. I decided to focus my play time and collecting on just those games I have in my must-play category. This means trading in a bunch of games I got just to play for achievements and picking up others for the permanent collection, some I’ve played already, others not. This picture shows the result for week one.
