So who here has ever made Mario jump right over the flag pole only to find yourself running in an endless loop, with the aid of a Game Genie of course. Or got in to the developers room in Final Fantasy VII via a Game Shark. These are the places you were never ment to go but it is just too cool when you do. Its kind of like sneaking onto a movie set after everyone has gone home. Used to most of these tricks were only possble with aide of a cheat code device, but as games have gotten bigger and more elaborate it seems programmers are more likely to leave manholes open for you to fall into.
With this generation coming to a close, Plus10damage thought they would list the top 25 games on every system ever. Well, the main ones, cos aint nobody got time for that! We recently concluded the top 25 NES Games. Look at it here http://plus10damage.com/blog/nestop2525to21
[This is more of an inner monologue that goes on as I play through Dark Souls.]
What's up everyone! In case you didn't know - or haven't watched any Retro Rampage videos where I do the voice - I do a pretty good Stewie Griffin. If you could, check out my video and vote for me to win - I'd get to do a voice for the premiere of Family Guy!
Luring you in with Pixies lyrics and then smacking you in the face with DOTA 2 chat. BAM!
Yeah, yeah, I know, I don't hate something. Save your shock for later. It might be because this is the extended ending or whatever but I thought it was decent. Well, there were 5 minutes of the worst written shit I'd ever seen - forced and extended exposition with the catalyst that is even worse than the tortured exposition in Bioshock Infinite, because the catalyst is pure fucking bullshit - but my shepherd sacrificing himself for the greater good, and ending a war without violence is exactly what my shepherd would have done. And I fucking cried when Tali put my name on the memorial wall. Fucking cried. I didn't even cry in the walking dead, so they did something right at least.
So there's this thing called Movie Club that the Youtube channel SourceFed, or maybe it's SourceFedNerd, but anyway one of them does it after Philip Defranco stopped hosting them on his channel.
So a while back (December-Januaryish) Joey and I wrote an article for Hardcore Gaming 101. It was a fairly in depth review of Rudra no Hihou - or Treasure of the Rudras, a fantastic 16-bit RPG from Square that has a magic system so unique you'll wonder why the hell we didn't get it (which is explained in the article) and why you haven't played it.
This year marks the 30th Anniversary of the Famicom, the Japanese equivalent of the NES in the US. To celebrate, Nintendo has offered one Virtual Console Wii U game each month for only 30 cents! They’ve done this for a few months now, and the last 30 cent game was just released. I’ve bought them all, as it was such a great deal. So in this blog, I thought I’d take a quick run through of the games in this promotion. Now, keep in mind that most of these games you can’t get for 30 cents anymore, as each game sale only lasts for a month. But I’m going to take a look at each one anyway!
So here it is again. Another week of random ads from the pages of bargain bin comic books. These come from several Marvel TeamUp issues all written by the now famous Robert Kirkman. Remember him accepting the award for The Walking Dead game with the Telltale Games guys at the Spike TV Video Game Awards Show? Kirkman is a class act he is. He's also a great writer and even though I have little interest in a Marvel TeamUp comic series (unless it has Doctor Strange), I found these really fun. As a bonus I got six video game ads from 2006. So, by the hoary hosts of Hoggoth, here they are.
Hey guys, this is my cover for Bloody Tears, as requested by Chris Yarger. Hope you enjoy! And if you have any requests, just let me know!
As I sit here, trying to get my latest installment of my CD collection blog, I thought I’d take a break and go with another game themed blog for this week. After all this is a video game website right? Oh Hello Pixlbit! It’s summer, it’s humid, and for the past couple of days the weather on the local news website has been described as “smoke.” There’s a couple of pesky wildfires around the area.
I'm just curious, I wanna know if there are any interesting stories out there. The majority of you are probably like me, you found a site (1up in my case) and after some time realized it had a cool user aspect to it, and decided to write your own stuff, but there might be some cool tales to tell in that regard.
I'm sure most of you don't know this, but I have a brief history with making videos for Youtube. I actually had quite a following before I got too wrapped up in other things to make videos anymore. I still have had the bug to make videos, and I feel like the best way for me to do that nowadays is through live streaming.
It's been a while since I've posted anything about A Realm Reborn on here. Truth is, I've been playing other games in the mean time until the next open beta phase- which I can't wait to get back into. I've already managed to spend a little bit of game time with a couple of pixlbit members in A Realm Reborn, so in a way it was the "First Contact" moment with this community so to speak and I hold the game in high regards for this reason, among many other reasons of course. I just wanted to highlight this article posted on IGN which I think people interested in the game or hesitant about it should read. The writer is very critical of the orignal FF XIV release and notes all the changes in the new game and has a positive impression about it, which is in fact a new game and not an expansion which some people might be confused about.
I do highly recommend reading this article. It basically reflects my impressions so far and it saves me trouble of having to write up another whole blog about XIV.

So with the release of GTA 5 getting closer im contemplating getting one of these editions if i can since Rockstar announced that none of the items in these sets will ever be sold outside the set.
I'm officially on Holiday, uneployed and broke, so that means two mouths of games (if i get no job interviews that is), the list contains games I have started but never bothered to finish none are new games but rather old.
