I suddenly got the notion to get back into comic reading. I picked up a few things today and will go back every Wednesday to see what's new. I'm not sure I'll follow what I used to, so we'll see, but here's what I got today.
I haven’t blogged this week because real life kicked in, and right now this is the escape I need even for a short time. My phone is telling me that there is going to be rain, yet when I ask Siri, and the Google Assistant there is no rain. I look out the window and the sun is out but California Cold. Let’s talk games for a bit.
Gaming on Sunday. Absurdist lunacy filled in the gaps between games and all during. Appearing that day were such dadaesque creations as Captain Crunch (The one who crunches too much, not the cereal character) and Boo Bop from Tway (the one who speaks the undecipherable nonsense language which strangely sounds like variations on the McDonalds "I'm lovin' It" jingle). Read on if you dare (actually much less crazy than this opening paragraph).
Video games that is. A heaping bunch of stuff I touched on today, thanks to Xbox rewards quests, but I finally got back to my main game, Dragon Quest XI S. Here's the lot.
I swear this week I’ve lost track of the days and apparently it is Friday. Crazy. Well since I remembered, it’s still morning here in overcast/rainy Southern California, let’s get started.
Well, it's almost that time of year again. It's funny, last year when we did BaD, it seemed like a normal year, and we had no idea how bad the Corona virus would get. Well, we're still a little bit a ways from getting out of this crisis, but BaD waits for no man.
Played some, no, a lot, yesterday, that being Monday. Less variety than usual though because my gaming buddy and I got into a bowling battle that never seemed to end. Here's the breakdown.
Good morning Pixlpeeps! Apparently yesterday was Monday and I thought it was Sunday. Oh National Holidays. Anyways here I am, here you are, let’s get started with games I’ve been playing.
...was a pretty good game day. I finished a few games and got really into another. Here's the breakdown.
While I’m glad 2020 is over, it’s hard to look forward to 2021 since just because it’s a new year, it doesn’t mean all of our problems just instantly go away. COVID is still around, as well as other crap from 2020. But every year I like to write a blog about the games I’m looking forward to in the coming year, so we’ll do that now. At least it gives us something to look forward to. And I imagine some of these games will get delayed, and there will be new games announced that we don’t know about just yet. Will we get Metroid Prime 4 or Breath of the Wild 2 this year? Maybe not, but you never know what the new year will bring. This time last year, we had no idea we’d be spending most of the year in quarantine either! OK let’s begin!
I had to work today, but I got some gaming in later on. Here's another list, because I just can't play one game.
Played a bunch. If it wasn't for my Xbox app, I wouldn't remember them all. Here's a list:
Good morning Pixlpeeps (It’s still morning here). For some reason it’s really warm today so the heater is off, the sliding door is open and I’m enjoying the weird January weather. I don’t know what else to say here really so I guess we should start.
Good morning Pixlpeeps! I am currently on my second little pack of Pringles as my healthy breakfast. I’ve been eating a lot of potato chips for over the past week because last week was the first time that potatoes have tasted normal to me since before I got sick in December. Anyways it is Monday and I’ve been trying to keep with my regular schedule (or close to it) here is what I’ve been playing.
Good afternoon Pixlpeeps! A little advance warning, this might be short because I am updating my digital library and its moving files from A to B and making sure the tags are good. The never ending fun continues. Anyways I did my Game Goals so now its time for my Quick Hits Goals
2020. Gosh. Remember when we looked forward to it, hopefully, being a good year? We had no idea. And while there were big profile delays and disappointments in the game space, there were still a ton of fun games to play. First we'll take a look at the games I beat and bought and then we'll move onto the Golden Hippo Awards!
I always start by looking at the weekly rewards on Xbox. This week I figured out how to complete challenges on Bing. Then I checked the sales and almost bought Civ VI because it was just under $20. Then I went into Game Pass rewards and played the weekly game challenges. Finally, I made some progress in a few old games, then starting my bowling simulation play, and finally got back to Dragon Quest XI. Phew. It was a full day.
Good afternoon Pixlpeeps and happy 2021! My new year wasn’t good but I’ll probably talk more about that on Friday. I couldn’t blog yesterday because there were a bunch of things that needed to get done and there wasn’t really any new content to share. Anyways for today I have some thoughts on what I want to accomplish in 2021, and hopefully I can stick with it.
I have various plans for this year. They may seem overly elaborate, or even stupid (I had a friend say that to me once - I'm not sure I don't disagree), but I'm compelled to it by whatever is driving me. Anyway, here's a quick and possibly embarrassing overview of the month's and year's plans.
Happy New Year! I’m glad 2020 is over, but just because it’s a new year, that doesn’t mean the problems of last year are going away. We’ll still have to deal with COVID for the majority of this year, too, at least. Then there’s my mom’s breast cancer surgery this month (keep praying, please). There are other problems, too, but I won’t go into those because I stay away from talking about politics on this blog. But at least we made it through the year, so to celebrate, here’s some more game reviews I’ve written recently over at GamerDad.com. Please click on the links and read as many as you can, and maybe even post a ‘like’ or comment or two. I’d appreciate it. OK let’s begin!
