With Mario Golf: Super Rush on Switch coming out at the end of this month, I thought I’d make a list of my favorite golf video games in honor of that.  I usually don’t dabble in sports games, but golf games translate pretty well to video games and can be very arcade-y and cartoony, so I tend to gravitate to those.  I’m also doing this list in honor of Father’s Day this month as well, since my dad likes to play golf and has enjoyed at least one of the games on this list.  And the games on this list aren’t in any order of preference or anything, so keep that in mind.  OK, let’s tee off!

I make lists. It's a thing. Here's a few I made for this month, books to read, music to listen to, films to watch, games to play, For June, I'm thinking about the years 1900 to 1949. Two world wars, the roaring 20s, big band era, and many other things come to mind. Here's what I'm starting with. 

Good morning Pixlpeeps! Apparently it’s Friday (I thought it was Thursday), and I’ve been not here for maybe two weeks? Probably two weeks. Anyways let’s catch up with some of the non gaming stuff I’ve been doing.

When Pac-Man finally took off in popularity after its introduction to the US in 1980, it spawned a lot of competition; after all, Pac-Man is still the single most successful arcade game in history. While some were straight up clones of Pac-Man - Atari took Magnavox to court over K.C. Munchkin, their Pac-Man clone for the Odyssey - other games tried to come up with unique twists. 

I'm playing with Melvil Dewey's ideas about simplified and phonetically relevant spelling for Borderlands 3 and Deadspace, the two games I played today. 

Hey dudes!  I’ve got some totally radical and gnarly game reviews I’ve written recently over at GamerDad.com.  And a majority of them happen to have an 80’s theme!  It would be righteous to the max if you could click on the links and read as many reviews as you can and maybe post a ‘like’ or comment or two.  I’d appreciate it.  Oh and for the record, I never talked like that as a kid in the 80’s  I think the only people who did were on television.

I didn't mention I played some Fallout 76 last weekend. I had the same problem I had with Fallout 4, I couldn't find the pip-boy menu to do simple stuff like change gear or eat. I'm some kind of stupid, I guess, or the particular U.I. in these games baffles my simple mind. I must've tried every button combination to find out how to eat something when it was suggested, and I still couldn't find the pip-boy menu like I was shown earlier in the brief tutorial as you leave the Vault. WTF.

Still obsessed, and so is my friend, with Borderlands 3 and the last few achievements, but I got in a half-hour or so of Walking Dead: A New Frontier for a Game Pass quest. 

My friend bought some modded weapons for us both to use in Borderlands 3 and now we are virtual gods running around with impunity on True Vault Hunter, Mayhem 11 difficulty. It's kind of fun, actually, but really makes gear gathering pretty much meaningless. We still had to work to get some of the new achievements, however. 

Good morning Pixlpeeps! It is a breezy Monday here in Southern California and I finished breakfast and I am ready to update you good people on the things I played or at least tried to this past week. I played a handful of stuff some new and some are my usual so let’s get started.

Got back into the Season 2 DLC. I finished the story missions solo and then Mark and I did the Arms Race mission and then some tasks on the daily challenge list that's new to B3.

So I've been playing the game scene, not committing to any one game, you know, games want me to be their one and only, but that's not my style right now. I just got out of a long relationship (Tales of Vesperia), and I'm not ready to just be with one game. 

Hey folks, I just wanted to let you all know that I helped make some YouTube videos!  Now, I didn’t help out THAT much, but I think I did enough that it’s worth sharing here.  The videos that I helped with were a two part series on the history of Pac-Man…because of course I would!  I hate to brag too much and make brazen statements and things like that, but I think it’s safe to say that if someone is going to make a video on the history of Pac-Man, they really should consult with me first.  Again, sorry to make such bold statements, but I think I’m probably one of the biggest Pac-Man fans out there.  If you think you’re a bigger Pac-Man fan than I am, please let me know!  I’d love to hear about other big Pac-fans!  Anyway, so in this blog I wanted to share the videos I helped make, as well as how I got involved and exactly what I did.

Borderlands 3 annoyed me to no end. Then hen I started my casual run of games and then played one for a Game Pass quest, the last of the week. 

Good evening Pixlpeeps! I am currently coping music over to a new sd card but more on that later. It is Quick Hits and it is time for me to talk about things that are not game related (kinda). I’ve been watching a bit of stuff and I’d like to talk about it.

I call my chasing rewards points "game chores". I usually start with them. Today I had three achievements to get for weekly/daily rewards points and two weekly Game Pass quest games to play. I got to one of them. 

After a breaking from games for a while, I've felt like playing something. Not sure what, if anything, I want to commit to, so I've been briefly revisiting some old favorites I've had on my mind, and trying out some titles I've been interested in, through demos or...other means

Good morning Pixlpeeps! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend filled with tons of games and all kinds of crazy stories. I did not game much because I had my second shot (Part 2 of the Pfizer), still didn’t get my sticker, and I thought I would be sick as a dog the entire weekend. Since I already had the virus I was fine, but my post virus cough has seemed to return. Whatever, so most of my weekend was continuing to clean up the mess that is my music libraries (FLAC and AAC/MP3) but the days leading up to the weekend and Sunday afternoon I may have squeezed in some games just to say I played some games, and progressed my created players.

The weekend's gaming went quite well. On Xbox One I completed a monthly and all the weekly rewards, knocked off all my Game Pass quests, and tried a few new games.
