Been putting off doing another one of these, but figured now would be a good time to post all the reviews I've been writing between now and April. 

To say that I haven't posted a blog in about two months, would be putting it slightly. Let's just say that I haven't gotten time to blog, i've been busy with some stuff and when there's an opportunity to post something, the link to go to TV Tropes invites me to spend time on that page. But enough with real life, let's have a new entry of TIHBD.

If you’ve been paying attention to our music podcast Digital Mystery Tour, you’ve noticed a theme. This month it’s all about battle music, in all of its myriad forms and styles. JD kicked things off with some modern JRPGs (they’re classics to him, because he’s just a young-in), and I am following it up with some more varied and off the wall selections. Angelo has some great choices for week three, as well.

So I found the page with the pricing on a realm reborn but it to me doesnt make sense. Maybe I am understanding it wrong, I do that shit from time to time. Anyone else make head or tail of it.....

I was wondering if anyone on Pixlbit is into any Anime? I used to be into Anime in the 90s, mostly what was played on Toonami weekend nights, very late at night early morning. I'm talking about Cowboy Beebop, BigO, Ghost in the Shell, Gundam Wing, Evangelion. These shows I listed are pretty much my fav Anime shows but I haven't really had interest in Anime until maybe Full Metal Alchemist, New Ghost in the Shell and maybe Death Note. I watched the latest Evangelion films that were recently remade and they are still awesome. There is also more new Sailor Moon in development. I read a lot of buzz around Attack on Titan and checked it out and completely love it like my favorite old Animes. I would say it is one of my favorite new shows this year really. I'm glad I love Anime again. Brings back nostalgic feelings. 

The show is about a walled city that gets attacked by giant humans, or Titans. Soldiers using special harnesses can grapple and fly around the city like Spider-Man while attacking with blades. The coolest part is when they're flying around, but I love the characters and story. It's very original and interesting, but it is very tragic and gory. Super cool show! 






 

I have to say that I miss the times being away from my wife although at times they felt loney. I made up for it in pretty bad ways. I drank a lot while I was in the Philippines and Guam. It was almost like a daily ritual but not literally. I done it a lot though. I am doing it right now which is why I am blogging about it. I missed those times. I know it might be odd or maybe wrong but those times I felt so free and unattached that I could just go all out. Right now I have Vidzone cranked up while drinking stella artois. I might have to crank up a bottle of wine. I am on my last beer. Oh well.

Anyway, I think about my future and I really don't care where I lay but if I had a choice it probably would be in gaming journalism. I really never took it too serious. I always did it for fun and because I like feedback from people but in the back of my mind, I know that is where I always wanted to be. I though considered what it would be like to be a programmer to make games on my own but that is obviously impossible. I have to crazy ideas that would really blow peoples' minds though. How I could get them to come to fruition? I don't know. I do know that right now I am loving the moment. I love listening to what there is of the Swedish House Mafia and getting wasted.

What system has the best controller?? And that includes any system.

I finally got Platinum in Ragnarok Odyssey- and Soul Sacrifice seems like it'd give me nightmares compared to bashing those adorable squishy Porings. I'm pro-cute, not a big fan of ruining my trousers in fright... what video game stereotypical dynamic have I been missing? Sexy!

Hello again everyone. I was tasked with creating our song of the week for Plus 10, and we have been doing a bit of an NES love fest for the past month or so. for my week I decided there was really only one choice. The Duck Tales Moon Theme. Please check out my lovely words here.

              The first handhelds were these LED light arrays overlayed with different painted designs like the different sports fields. I played all three of the ones shown below which came out in the late seventies alongside Atari 2600 and then Intellivision in '79. Me and my neighborhood friends played the heck out of these things to the point where we wore the buttons right off and the casings were so beaten up, the circuit boards showed through. I picked up these again off of ebay a few years ago for nostalgic reasons.                                                             

     The years 1990-1994 were my return to consoles after turning to Apple PCs after the video game crash of '83. My favorite games of this time were mixed evenly between Genesis and SNES except for one PC holdover. What a great time that was for gaming!

A little late considering that I got these games Sunday but I suppose I could still share. I've always been a Star Wars fan but I never really played the games, even when I found a copy of Dark Forces. However when I found these at a yard sale I could not refuse.

Well the highlight of my week happened at work on Tuesday. First my four and a half month contract which was to end on August 30 looks like it's being extended, maybe for another year. (fingers crossed). 

This week has been insane at work. Feels like all I've done is work and sleep since Sunday. But I wanted to tell you about something from the weekend. It takes a lot to get me out in this heat on a day off,especially when I could be gaming or seeing a good movie instead. But Tokyo In Tulsa is just a really cool event that seems to get better each year. They do it at the convention center and it pretty much takes up every area in the place. Great artwork,shopping,gaming,music,and some awesome cosplay going on.

I have read a few peoples blogs but again I had over 200 to read and only read the ones from the past few days. So I am sorry I missed some from way back in July. Figured since work is a bit slow today I figured to check out what has been happening and post something!

About a month ago, Nintendo brought out a massive update to the 3DS StreetPass Mii Plaza program, and added four games in addition to Puzzle Swap and Find Mii I & II.  I’ve been able to try these games with some StreetPass tags I’ve gotten over the past month at meetups and whatnot, so now I’m ready to properly talk about these titles.  So here are some quick, fun little reviews of each game!

 I was really excited about this assignment. I am studying Internets studies as a blow off class, and when I saw an assignment where I had to write blogs I was all over that shit. Then I saw a problem.

Hello everyone. I thought I would check out the blogging here. I was looking for guidelines, but I didn't see any so I suppose I should scream "No Rules!!!" and take off my pants. Instead of letting my legs get a little chilly I thought I would post my video about the top 10 artistic games (in my opinion). I actually made it for a class project for my masters, but I think you might appreciate it more than my classmates. Here you go!

 Hey guys! If you know me, you know I like metal, and since Saints Row IV has NO FUCKING METAL IN IT, I thought I'd compose my list of top 10 metal albums. Seriously, fuck Saints Row 4. No Opeth, no Deftones or Dream Theater, all we get is a shitty fucking In Flames track from one of the shittiest fucking In Flames albums. Someone mod a metal station in! Anyway, as a fuck you to those assholes, here are my top 10 favourite metal albums. Because hey, why not?
