Well I haven't blogged for a good while, but there's been something bothering me recently. I'm an avid wii game collector. I have no idea why, but I have more wii games than necessary (at 300 right now) You might be saying "Preposterous! Who would have that many games!?" Well I do...and yes they are all up on a row of bookshelves in alphabetical order. But this blog isn't about my recent fascination to scour the discount bins in search of M & M's Adventure or Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.
I must apologize to the community about my absence. I have not been able to post or comment that past couple of months and it disheartens me because by reading everyone's blogs I have grown attached to many of you. I would go as far as call you friends.
Been absent a bit this week and it's mainly due to the heat. It puts me in a funky,not foul,sort of mood. It was 110 degrees yesterday and approaching that today. But when I got home yesterday my son said "Let's go to Gamestop!" and I was onboard....what the hell,right? Turned out pretty decent. We picked up Fuse for 360 at 30 bucks,and that was new. Also bought Midway Arcade Origins for 17 on PS3. Renewed my Power Up card so I can get the digital copies of Game Informer. I always get kinda weird/stressed out the week before vacation. Going to see my sister in Nashville next week on Wednesday morning. Should be a lot of fun. Tennessee is a beautiful state,if you've never been there. Lots of fun things to do and see there. Plan to take the Vita and 3DS with me for some road gaming perhaps. And late night,too. I'll be fine the moment we hit the road...but right now I'm kind of cranky. Hope your summer is going well so far. I'm going to be around to see what you're up to this week.
It's been awhile since I've done an AVGT. I've had too much going on. I still have too much going on, but I decided to do one anyways. I LOVE boss themes! I enjoy all kinds of boss themes, whether they're epic, creepy, hardcore, orchestral, catchy, or just plain awesome. Now there are TONS of great boss themes, so I chose just six of my favorites (which was difficult, believe me). Let me know what you think, and as always, let us know what your favorite boss themes are, even if they go way back to the NES days. Please note that these are just generic boss themes; I'll probably do another post on final boss themes in the future.
It makes me very sad to think that PCs might be soon be shoved out of existence. I recently read an article about how PC sales are declining, thanks to all the new tablet developments that have been releasing. Even though PCs have always had a loyal gamer following, myself included, a lot of people have migrated to the tablets. With the new smart glass features on next-gen consoles, it has been predicted that tablet sales will spike.
Ok, I know this isn't saying too much right now as the Wii U isn't exactly doing the greatest. However after seeing Nintendo's E3 showings, I had to have one. Stuff like a new 3D Mario, Zelda, Smash Bros, and Mario Kart won me over. I don't have too much at the moment, but so far I have Zombie U, New Super Mario Bros 2, Ninja Gaiden 3 Razor's Edge, Lego Undercover, and the download version of Nintendo Land. Im also waiting for Tekken Tag 2, Transformers Prime, Batman Arkham City, and Sonic Sega All Stars Racing Transformed to come in the mail. Although my playtime with the system has been limited due to work, my initial impression of it is a good one. In fact, the system reminds me a lot of the 3DS. It had some great software at launch, but they were mostly ports of older games and not really system sellers. By this time next year im confident that will change.
Project X-Zone is a new action strategy RPG for the 3DS. It’s actually pronounced Project “Cross” Zone, though. Anyway, the gameplay isn’t too much to write about, but the strength of this title comes from all the crossover characters from three different gaming companies working together to fight evil. Favorite characters from Namco Bandai, Capcom, and SEGA are featured in this game, so my next three big blogs are going to focus on the characters in Project X-Zone from each respective company. Since Namco Bandai published the game, we’ll take a look at their characters first.
Cover songs can be awesome, or they can be terrible pieces of shit, depending on the band covering the song. What I think makes a truly great cover is a band that takes a song and makes it their own, while still capturing the essence of the original. With that in mind, here are some awesome cover songs!
This week I picked up a bunch of Doctor Fate comics on the cheap after a friend said Doctor Fate was like DC's version of Marvel's Doctor Strange - a favorite comic character of mine. I found out later that Doctor Fate preceeded Doctor Strange by about twenty years (DF started in the 40's and DS in the 60's). Anyway, I noticed DC tends to not have as many ads in their comics as Marvel, most of them being ads for other DC comics - like the way indie comics do. But they do have video game ads here and there and I got six of them out of issues 32 to 41 of Doctor Fate all released from Sept 1991 to June 1992.
Firstly, I didn't write this. This is a fellow writer/editor/awesome person at plus10damage, and I think it raises some really good points that I think could be a great jumping off point for discussion. Seriously, check this article out, David is a great writer, and this article covers the tricky topic of self promotion and how it is both neccessary and tacky.
Hello, everyone! Before we jump into today's topic, I wanted to show off something that really cool that EVO started last year, the EVO Indie Showcase. The EVO Indie Showcase, incorporation with Capy Games' president Nathan Vella, showcases some of the newest and interesting rising talent in gaming. Surprisingly most of the games shown at the Showcase are not fighting game related. For example, Spy Party was shown last year and is returning to the showcase. This year features many returning games as well as some new and familiar faces like Towerfall.
I just wanted to take a minute or two to thank all of you that support my Blogs. I enjoy doing them and I know they are not prize winning peices but hey, That is what I got.lol. So with that said, I am looking foward to starting my Horror Movie reveiw and share that passion with you as well.
I'm at the library right now, and these two kids across from me are playing Bloons TD5. Let me tell you, they suck at playing it. There is a sort of art form of playing Bloons, and these kids are sh*tting right over it.
Hello interwebs! I go by the gamer profile of Jae_Blaze06, and as an artist, Black Oni. I've been a passionate gamer for as long as I can remember (dating back go my first ever console, the Sega Genesis), and have extended my love of gaming to my love of creating art. I am a proud business owner of Black Oni, a business dedicated to providing visual excellence in design and illustration. As an introduction to who I am and my youtube channel, I leave you with this time lapse video I created of Raiden (from MGS Rising Revengeance) featuring music by The Shanghai Restoration Project.

Hey Pixlbit, hope you all had a wonderful July 4th. For you folks who are not in America, hope you all had an awesome weekend. Well it’s time for part 2 of my Music Blog. I didn’t realize how big a task this was going to be until I started taking, and editing the pictures. Much love for you folks who took time to read/browse through these blogs!
As our group heads south the entire skyline is dominated by a sprawling amusment park. As the group starts across the parking lot tey all notice Ellis has come out of his funk and is growing more and more excited. Finally Rochelle looks at Ellis and says:
16 years ago, Nintendo Power made a really cheesy but hilarious promo for Star Fox 64. If you were an NP member, you received this special video in the mail way back in 1997. My brothers and I were such members, so I have fond memories of watching this for the first time. It's hilarious. This pilot is captured and interrogated about a new Nintendo game coming out: Star Fox 64. It's funny that the two interrogators are wearing Sony and Sega shirts. If you've never seen this, you gotta watch it now. It's only 9 and a half minutes. The video may be cheesy, but it's all about one of the best games for N64.
Friday evening we had a fierce thunderstorm that wreaked havoc in our area. I was, of course, ankle deep in water doing the weekly swab-down of the toilet building. After it was over, I mentally congratulated us for only having one giant pine tree explode and fall over a trail. Little did I know... Saturday afternoon, Andy, the park manager went down to the shore to take a swim after we cut up and removed the downed pine tree. I wasn't scheduled to have been in that morning but had gone in to get the tree taken care of and then went home for a nap and a shower before returning for closing duties. I got a phone call from Andy while I was still home telling me that the osprey nest on the island sanctuary had been blown down during the storm. There were three chicks in the nest and we pretty much wrote them off. Andy went out to the island once I returned to work, just in case any of the chicks had survived. And one healthy, uninjured chick was found. We were happy, because the chances of one surviving had been pretty low and it was nice to have one survivor when we didn't think we'd have any at all.
One more question. Would you like to read it on Thursdays or Fridays, in hopes to get the movie for the weekend?
Anybody else doing the Beta get a email in Japanese from Square? I did and I translated and read it. Apparently this Beta test time between Jul 10th and Jul 15th is the last one for Phase 3.
Just curious to know if there are any active Steam players on here? The last call out only brought out a few people. I've been wanting to play Left 4 Dead or any other coop game with Pixlbit, so let's try it again. It's been a few months since this type of post. I'm not expecting to see a response at all. LOL!
As for Steam games, if you are playing them, what are you playing lately? I would like some suggestions from Pixlbit. The last game I bought which was really great was Van Helsing, also Stealth Bastard is really great. I'm just waiting on Steam summer sale, so I'm holding back. Would be nice if we all bought a couple of coop games during steam sale so we can all share some play time together.
Steam name: sharky
I remember in a previous blog some folks had mentioned that they had put Borderlands 2
