Greetings, Pixlbit! As expected, I've been posting reviews at a snail's pace, and the next one might take me awhile... because, on the NES front, I've been busy with this:
Tomorrow is the big announcement from Microsoft regarding their next generation console. I expect this to be very similar to the Sony press conference from February, where they will unveil some facts but keep some other stuff under wraps until E3. Regardless, I expect this PC to feature much of the same propaganda that people such as Aaron Greenberg and Larry "Major Nelson" Hyrb have been using for the last 8 years. I don't happen to know who will be on stage tomorrow but I expect the pro-Microsoft video game media and their so-called "journalists" (who are really nothing but weak-minded, greedy hardcore gamers who got in good with somebody) to eat up these announcements like the people Joseph Goebbels brought in for his Sportpalast Speech in 1943.
B and I will be shooting some new Dark Souls tonight, so as the title implies; here’s your chance to join in and try to wreck my day!
Tomorrow is the big day. Less than 24 hours to go. The fanboys out there are on fire. I was highly amused by all the nerd rage and rants going on this morning online. Why do people get so upset and feel the need to lash out? This is a wonderful thing,people! Personally I can't wait. It's gonna be like a tiny E3 for me tomorrow. All the mysteries will be unravelled,questions will be finally answered. Who gets mad about something as great as that? I wonder sometimes......
Hey everyone, sorry I haven't been around lately. I know I said I'd get another blog out about my future game, and haven't, and I know I haven't really commented on many blogs. Life is crazy around 18 with juggling school, trying to get a job, helping around the house, keeping healthy relationships, and relaxing with the bit of time I can get. I'm hopefully going to be around more frequently now that it's summer time, depending on how a possible job goes for me and how much time it would take up!
My Friday "Night-Life": On Friday, my older brother called to tell me he was taking his truck, which apparently several hobos and an ex-con who helped him, as well as its previous owners, thought was due to a faulty fuel pump, was out of commission, and he'd be calling AAA to get it towed to the mechanic near our house, since that's basically the family mechanic and there wasn't much near him he could trust as well. So I stayed up so that after he'd left the truck, I could give him a ride back to his place.
What started off as a pretty awesome weekend has ended pretty badly. Sitting here pondering things and just wanted to write a bit about it. Tornadoes swept across northeast Oklahoma just a few hours ago. We battened down the hatches as we normally do. Not unusual here in May. Happens every year in fact. But these were monster tornadoes they were reporting on TV,some were almost F4 level. We saw them tracking their way up the highway toward us. One touched down in Shawnee and did massive damage,killing one person. I've seen the destruction of tornadoes close up living in this state. Seen it happen just a few miles from where I was one time. But it never seems to get any easier. Seeing the live camera shots of Shawnee from the air afterward was shocking to me. I thought about how I'd feel if it was my town,my home. My prayers go out to them and their families. The storm started around Edmond,which is where my brother now lives. He's fine and the town is okay. So is mine,and Tulsa was spared from damage. These things happen so fast. Played out over the course of just a few hours. I know some hit up in Kansas too. There were some bad ones in Texas very recently. I could not take any more of the storm coverage and just changed the channel randomly. Landed on the Rock N' Roll Hall Of Fame Induction. And it was just starting on the final inductees....Rush. Had not seen it yet. It was awesome,funny,cool,and heartwarming. Made my day,and I really needed that badly. So I've had some ups and downs. But I have so much to be thankful for. Mainly that my family is alright,and that most everyone else's is okay too. Now the rebuilding begins for some folks. But they will have a lot of help,because people in this state are good about that sort of thing. Hope your weekend was soooooo much better. Had to be....
I honeslty dont know how to feel about this game. If any of you played Soul Calibur 5 and you remember how cut down it was in content for offline mode then you might feel like I do. SC5 was my biggest disappointment of 2012. I normally dont have disappointments either, even if a game isnt excatly has I pictured it but still good I let it slide. I refuse to let the injustice that was SC5 slide. I hated that game and at that moment I was severally upset with Namco and Project Soul for releasing such a poor excuse of a game. The only decent thing about it was the create a character system. However one reedeming thing can not save a game especially if you spent 80 bucks for the damn thing. I bought th Limited Edition set and it was my biggest regret money wise. I wish I had not spent a cent but 60 would have made me feel better. Ladies and Gentlemen SC4 was better then SC5. Were suppose to go forward, not backwards. You wanna know why it happened? Multiplayer/Online play. Multiplayer mixed with Online Play are becoming 2 of the most scariest words to gamers now. Games are becoming solely based on if people will have fun online with others instead of what originally made them fun. Now dont get me wrong, I like playing games with people. I dont mind playing a 2 player game but there is a difference in ruining a single play experiance like story and stuff like that to make muiltiplayer the biggest thing ever. So many game developers are going this route and it was a sad day on earth when SC5 did that. The Last Of Us gives me hope though, they havent said barely anything about the multiplayer mode, they have only given us the story side to the game and it is a breath of fresh air to see that. Anyway, If there is a new SC in the making, Ill prolly wait till after it releases to get it and see what it is said about it. I dont think I wanna waste money on it if it isnt a improvement.
So I took the dive last night and compiled my backlog on backloggery. 76 games. But here is the catch this does not include GBA & DS games. It also excludes fighters and compilations. So I think the real number is probably closer to 125. Plus over half of the games are rpgs. And even worse some of these games I have not touched in years, so I have no idea where I am at and will likely have to start from scratch.
Hello again. I haven't been too active in the last 2 weeks. I'm now into the last week of the school year (of the campus where I work) and when that's over, I won't have to work nights and I can game and sleep like everyone else. In theory.
After 10 years of waiting, a new, full-on sequel to GGXX is finally announced and on the way.
Really quick warning: This post is LONG. It's a review of a recently-translated SNES strategy RPG in the famous Fire Emblem series, but sorta morphs into something more. I was going to throw in some pictures, but the entire thing is taking up too much space as is. So apologies ahead of time for the lack of visual stimulation.
Ah Pixlbit. I know you're like the new 1up now, but could you not copy it's technical issues? I mean when I write up a lengthy post, I don't want it to be deleted when I post it. Unless I'm being censored. I mean, I made some fairly offensive jokes in there, one of which I regretted in hindsight, and it did say that Saints Row 3 was a essentially a worthless piece of shit, which isn't true. So, I guess a rewrite is in order. (BTW Pixlbit is awesome and you guys should keep up the great work!)
Here's a bit of poetry I found shuffling through my stuff. I never posted it cause well it's pretty NSFW. I know I know i post that kind of stuff all the time, but with the randoms who lurk on 1up all the time I kind of didnt want them to think this was some kind of license to hit on me. I dunno maybe I just forgot, or maybe I posted it and don't remember. Well anyways its from like October of last year or so. I edited it a little though. Random pictures of Midori Kanda added too cause why the fuck not.
I don't have a lot of desire to blog anymore. I might do a few more but they might not be here. I might try over at gamespot. I always go there, at IGN, and Kotaku. They are the best sources for gaming news. Gamespot has always twisted words in articles but Kotaku has been great at saying everything at face value. I just love how their comment section works and been commenting there for years as well as the other two.
I'm probably gonna blog here in the next day or so, I'd rather just go ahead and at least update everyone that i'm going to since I haven't had the time to and honestly nothing much has happened till a couple of days ago.
There gonna end up being worst company for 3 years running now. I just cant believe the shit people do! I was at work when all this came about but I immediatly looked more into it the minute I was home and I can not believe the nerve of some people. I dont like console bashing. Ill state thjat plain and clear. Each one has flaws and imperfections. Not a single one is perfect. The Wii U has a lot of potential even if its hardware technically isnt what people call next gen high. The only thing bringing it down is there is barely any games for it but I feel once E3 passes we will see the library grow for it. This guy right here deserves prick person of the year award next to Adam Orth. Its sad he even deleted what he said, once its on the internet, its stays on there forever!
The Twisted Tales of Spike McFang is a really strange game published by Naxat Soft for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. It was a somewhat difficult game to play and a somewhat difficult game to review. Not because it's a bad game, per se, but because there isn't much to say about it. Well..... it's an action-y game, but you gain levels (a few of them) and buy items (fewer of them) and get gold and stuff. It's cartoony and light-hearted. Let me get a little more specific.....but only a little.
Amazon is going ape-shit in their efforts to one-up Steam's regular sales with a MASSIVE line-up of PC digital download discounts. There are discounts upwards of 70% all over the place; some of the sales are simply insane.
