Recently I have been listening to the shut up and sit down podcast. It has been quite entertaining and has gotten me into the mood to play more and more board games. While I may have a greater desire, I am having difficulty actually playing them. The biggest problem is that I do not have a large enough group at my disposal for the time being. Another problem is Fire Emblem Awakening. Fire Emblem is all that I think about nowadays and all I try to do with my free time. Getting back to board games… I got my Kickstarter copy of Boss Monster just over a month ago and had only played it once. Over the weekend I had the opportunity to play it again with some of my cousins. The game is so much better once you know how to actually play it. When I first played it, my brother and I were making it up as we went along because we did not really have the patience to read the wonderfully NES era rulebook. The game is awesome and I am so glad that I kickstarted it. I also recently picked up a copy of the cave, but have yet to play a round. I am quite excited about it and hope to get around to it soon.
So the Sony Gamescom conference just finished up and I watched the whole thing live on my PS3 on Playstation Home (lol I'm not even sure why they still support that, I don't know anyone who has actually used it) because I wanted to see it all on my tv instead of the small computer screen.
Seems like I'm always one of the last people to play a game. Mostly because I don't have the disposable income to buy games when they release. By the time I get around to playing a lot of games, most of my friends have been done with them for a couple of years. So I decided to start a blog series called Late to the Party so that I can rave about games that everyone else played years ago.
Ok, so I'm going to leave this to my readers. Do you think Piracy is ever acceptable? Here are some questions that might help you decide. What if you used to own the games but due to a tragedy you lost them an don't wish to pay for them again? What if you own the game on console but also want it on pc? Remember that emulators count as piracy.
The Next semester of school started with no warning for me, and it's a been a very...stressful weekend to say the least. So, finally, here's an update, and my next game review will be up later this week!
Nintendo please give up on the Wii U. When you have the current Wii out selling your new system it is time to give up. I do not mean to have what is an apparent attempt by stores to stop selling Wii games and trying to use Pokemon to try and sell a system.
I wasn't going to do it this week, but the alure of accumulating gamerscore and playing Xbox 360 with my friend was just too great. I had to feel the thrill of victory and the agony of bad gameplay as I muddled through any-and-all in the quest for more achievements.
Ugh, after getting irked on my server- I might relocate again. I want to be part of the Pixlbit Free Company!
Things happened in my absence: I got a lot more stuff off my Pile of Shame and not just gaming. I read a book called “All You Need is Kill.” With a weird title like that, it is not surprising it comes from Japan! I got interested in the book after hearing about a new movie in development (renamed “Edge of Tomorrow”) starring Tom Cruise. The book is about a soldier stuck in a time loop where he is doomed to fight and die in the same battle over and over. Think Groundhog’s Day for the war buff. That cool premise and the awesome cover art sent the book straight to my Amazon shopping cart!
Where to start? Nintendo hardly had any major hiccups back in the day but the most notable was is sticking with cartridges for the Nintendo 64 which had to turn off publishers. It definitely impacted their relationship with then Squaresoft and how it helped Sony spiral their console in a household name. The two biggest mistakes that Nintendo has made continuously is sticking with undesired formats by sticking with cartridges and not moving to dvds. The other is not being aggressive with a competitive online gaming network.
I started playing Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake but now I decided to switch (Metal) Gears and start playing
Very few video game characters get their own cartoon show. And even fewer get multiple shows based on their electronic adventures. I think only Mario, Sonic, and Mega Man have pulled that last feat off, maybe Street Fighter if you count the anime toons. And now, Pac-Man has done the very same thing. All through this summer, the classic arcade dot and ghost muncher is starring in a brand new computer animated cartoon series called Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures, airing on Disney XD. As a huge Pac-Man fan, you KNOW I’d be writing about it sooner or later. So here it is!
This basically the gist.... I wen to buy Prinny Can I Really Be The Hero? for the PSP. The clerk told me I had 96 days left on my card and did I want to renew. I said I am not really sure because I did not really like the GI anymore and the discount was not really helping. She asked me why I did not like GI, and I told her about the backwards rating for this months game of the month. She rolled her eyes and said oh well. After that I took my game and left. I know not all Gamestops have people like that bu tit is more about the corp thing for me now. If the game sucks ass say it. Do not say it is wonderful just to make that sale. That is it. I am out this BITCH!
If you want to know what Shining Force III is all about, please read my review of Scenario II. This review will focus not on the gameplay or graphics or anything like that, but in how the game differs from its predecessors.
So there I was, a couple of hours ago, standing in the Disney Infinity aisle that Toys R Us created, but I wasn’t alone, there was a father who had no idea on what to buy for his kids. Spur of the moment for me, and before I knew it, I was whipping out my Rewards Card (I think I earned two dollars this year). I wasn’t planning on buying this game, but the five minutes I was there, I thought it was worth a try. The concept sounded fun: take random Disney Characters and place them in different Disney Universes. So I left with a lighter wallet
