A long time ago I started playing what was then the newest chapter in the Legend of Zelda series, Majora's Mask.  The game was different, yet cool.  I was on my way to conquering it as I had every Zelda before.  That is until I tried to get the damned gilded sword.  Try as I may, try as I might, I could not beat the goron race in time to save my life.  The frustration of getting money for a sword upgrade, making it spring time, buying a power keg,  and racing again and again only to win too late ended my Zelda completion streak.

New Interface Additions

The next generation of systems is adding some nice features in how you operate it and move around within its menu. I am happy the PS4 is making a change with a new menu called Playstation Dynamic Menu and Microsoft’s is supposedly built with advertising in mind. Not something I would boast about. I do like what Sony and Microsoft are doing with their new interfaces which I find important how complex gaming systems have become. As for what I like, its new additions like recording footage to show, the ability for others to watch as you play and able to help others or be helped by giving your game to someone else through that one hard segment.

Hey there folks. I'm changing things up today, again. Originally I was going to write about Killer Instict but there was a huge news overload that came out of EVO, that was too good to pass up. Then again, EVO is like the E3 for fighters, so there's been a bunch of news that's been flooding out from Las Vegas. So today we're taking a look at all that and few other interesting bits that have come out within the last week or so.

As i've mentioned before, im completely hooked on Skylanders. This game may be designed mainly for kids, but it is seriously the most fun i've had with a game for years. As for the game itself, I own both the first and Giants on my 360, PS3, and 3DS. Anyway here's my collection so far...

I love the Playstation Vita. It's an awesome piece of technology. I wish it had the kind of library the 3DS is getting this year. The future of this thing seems to be a question mark because of how barren the amount of upcoming games is, but there are a few things that make people question if Sony has a future in mind for it. I don't believe they do. I think everything they have to give the impression of one is just to salvage any potential sales before they officially kill the thing.

I certainly don’t fancy myself a video game collector, but I do have more games than I can play for systems old and new. I’m always interested in trying out games that are new to me and this inevitably sends me out looking for and buying more games. Every once in a while, I head out to garage sales and thrift stores, but I almost never find anything even related to video games except for the occasional PS2 sports game or Dora PS1 game that has been vigorously rubbed with 40 grit sand paper. Then, two weeks ago, I actually had some luck! I was driving the dog home from the vet on a Saturday and decided to whiz through garage sales on the way. I found a Genesis with a bunch of games for $25 (after the requisite haggling process).

Took a while due to a bit of laziness, vacation, and getting enough hours into Shin Megami Tensei 4 to get a good review in (which you should totally read on Rotorob). But here's the second installment of Ask Greenman.

Published on July 13, 2013 2:46 AM - 1 minute read

Just a reminder that this will be the final weekend for Phase 3 Beta test- ending early Monday morning.

Phase 4 open beta will be approx. 1 week long and will include extra content not available in Phase 3, like voice acting for example, and other things. Open beta content is expected to carry over to launch, assuming testing goes well- it is beta after all. Open beta Phase 4 start date will be announced in the near future.

After open beta concludes we will wait some time before launch and early access for those who pre-ordered special editions. Launch is late August.  

Suggestions for Beta testers.

You should at the very least play around with the character creation features before commiting to the game during launch as you will not be able to change your features in game after the fact.  

I might jump in again this weekend and test some more things out. I'm pretty much satisfied with the beta at this point and finished like 4 dungeons and finished the story already, shortened beta story of course.

I will be blogging much more often on my own personal site going forward. It's for the best. I like Mr. DiMola and I don't want to do anything that would anger him. We need more nice guys like him on video game websites.

So I went ahead and created a new group on Steam called "Pixlbit". 
Go to our official group page to join here

or search for "pixlbit" in steam group search.

All you need to do is click the join button on our group page and that's it.
Also, don't forget to send friend invites once you're in the group, otherwise what's the point? 
Don't be shy. There is a discussion forum available and event announcements for future game nights, hopefully!

Also, you don't need to go around pixlbit searching for Steam Id's.
Enjoy the summer steam sale!!!

Hey guys, if you read my drunk blogs you'll know that I was talking to someone the other night who was really awesome, and we made out and had been texting ever since. She asked me out on Wednesday (My birthday, I turned 21) and I said yes. We went out for coffee, because we're classy bitches.

EVO Week 2nd Strike Day 5: The Hype Before The Storm

Published on July 12, 2013 2:24 AM - 1 minute read

Hey everyone. Today's going be another short one. Tomorrow is the big day, the start of EVO 2013 although its coming off a slightly depressing note. Capcom was hit off with some layoffs today including Christian Svensson, VP at Capcom USA (although Svensson left voluntarily). Svensson was a very vocal advocate for the fighting game community as well as many other franchises at Capcom. I wish him and everyone else who was affected and hope the can get back on their feet.
