Left my job early in the year, took some time off, then started community college that summer. It was a rough summer but I got into a routine at least, if not into gainful employment. That fall I started part-time at a local library while schooling. It's my favorite place on earth. Here are some of my favorite media from that year.
I’ve cooked up a feast of game reviews for you all to read 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 really appreciate it. After reading all of these, you should have nice, fat, full tummies afterwards! Bon Appetit!
A rather ugly year for me as my work changed management and made me feel totally unimportant. I managed to hang in there that year, but everyone else I had worked with for 8 years left, to be replaced by people I didn't know. Very stressful and not fun. But these bits of media below were fun. Check 'em out.
This is the year I got into the Toys-To-Life games. I believe it was the vehicle designs for the Skylanders Superchargers that got me interested and then Gamestop's sales right after the holidays. This lead to Disney Infinity, then Lego Dimensions, Amiibo, and finally Skylink: Battle for Atlas. The genre is sort of in limbo right now, but I hope it returns. But I experienced more than just games. Here are five favorites from that year.
Good morning Pixlpeeps! I had to get up earlier than normal because of the one week where the recycle guy showed up really early. Now I hop out of bed at 7am to drag the trash out, and of course the guy shows up at his normal time or maybe even later. Mind games I say, MIND GAMES! Since I am up I ate my leftovers as breakfast and tried to remember exactly what I’ve played that is worthy of mentioning.
I mostly played on PS4 today trying to get through my physical game collection so I can sell off anything I'm not totally thrilled about. But, I managed a little Xbox One play too.
My first task today was to clear as many of the games set up for Quests to earn Game Pass Rewards. I touched on a few others for other reasons.
The year my car tried to kill me. 200K miles and the exhaust manifold started leaking, not that I knew it for almost a year, and gave me a slight, but significant, dose of carbon monoxide poisoning. I don't think I lost any memory (friends might say otherwise) but I had some muscle-weakening problems that haven't totally gone away. I survived though.
Weird that I even have a weekend. I think I live in a strange alternate reality. I don't think it's real. . . yet.
Of all of Nintendo’s game series, the Paper Mario titles have probably had the most ups and downs. On one hand, you have what many consider to be one of the best RPGs ever made! And on the other end, you have what others, including myself, believe to be one of Nintendo’s worst games! Ouch! The newest game in the series, Paper Mario: The Origami King, came out earlier this year, so I thought it might be fun to rank them.
For some odd reason my laptop’s WiFi isn’t playing well but I can’t restart the laptop because I’m currently converting some FLAC files into mp3 for my music player. Relax audiophiles it’s a copy and it’s for my big project that I seem to do yearly of making an mp3 or AAC copy of my FLAC library. Anyways while that is going on let’s get started to what games I played (I really only played 1)
Just a triplet of gaming today. My gaming buddy is hobnobbing with his celebrity friends on Zoom. Geeze. Priorities.
I'm just all over the place with games today, but I spent the most time with God of War 2018.
Hey here is a documentary on Shinji Mikami, the Japanese creator of Resident Evil.
1UP basically sunk and I turned up here in February, just in time for blog-a-day. What else? Nada mas.
