It keeps you from getting lost when traveling the digital plane. Today I came across three regional aberations that call themselves games. They are, of course, live alogrithms who need a creative input to expand their functionality - to grow, in other words. I played three of them. I wonder how the results changed the cosmic data stream?
More game reviews I’ve written recently at GamerDad.com are coming’ at ya! 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. All right, it’s time to blast off!
After finishing up all the Ratchet & Clank main games, I decided to delve back into the box of unfinished/unplayed PS3 games that have been on my conscience for a while. I found one, more about that further down.
Ok so I have my breakfast sandwich (thanks Costco for selling boxes of Jimmy Dean Croissant sandwiches), and a Pepsi so I am ready to go. I’m actually waiting for my sandwich to lower in temp from surface of the sun, to just under burn all the taste buds. I live dangerously. Ok so one game took up most of my gaming time last week and that was my continuation of playing Batman Arkam Origins on Steam.
I tested positive for Sars-Cov 2 on July 18 and received results July 24. I am therefore in quarantine until August 1, which ... is not entirely different from what I was doing already, so what the hell? Literally my only consistent symptom is a mild cough which I've had forever now.
In Microsoft Haven there be dragons, and it's like the village in How To Train Your Dragon. Tech and dragons. Mecha dragons? I'm liking this idea.
Exactly how it is. I'm in my game alone but my friend is in the same room playing it too on his own system. It's the strange little way we game - evolved over decades to be what it is. My friend is trying to keep ahead of me for bragging rights in Farm Together. I'm just doing my thing, trying to make it look good.
So I've been playing Dragon Quest XI again. It's funny... I bought it in September and now I'm just 16 hours in. Slowly but surely. I really love it though. I feel like I can't play anything else until I finish it. I did play about ten hours of Final Fantasy Remake, but I really feel I need to complete DQ11 before I move on. It's nagging at me.
First the promised video of my Hallmark arcade cabinet ornaments then Gears 5 and Farm Together.
Now that FF 14 is going free... up to level 60 and including Heavensward DLC-- which is like two JRPGs back to back-- and a very good FF game IMO.
I was browsing at a mall I'd never been to before and saw a Hallmark store. I went in on a lark to see their Christmas ornaments because they have some neat retro ones, and I've been collecting their arcade cabinet ornaments. I have four of them. Now I have five. This is the Joust cabinet.
WORST. YEAR. EVER. I think we can all agree that 2020 has been one of the worst years in our lifetime, what with the Coronavirus, quarantines, riots and looting, and much more. Some days I wonder if we’ll EVER get through this. But there is one good thing about this year so far. We’ve had quite a lot of really good games come out the first half of this year! Normally I like to write a blog this time of year with my favorite games of the year so far, because the holiday titles and E3 announcements usually take precedence by the end of the year. Of course, because of the Coronavirus there was no E3 this year, and as of this writing we still don’t know what big games will be out for Christmas. Just another reason why this year sucks. So I don’t know how much different my list will be by the end of the year. But keep in mind that this is my list and my picks only, no outside opinions and whatnot. And if a game isn’t on my list, it either just didn’t appeal to me or I haven’t played it yet. Can’t play ‘em all, you know! But with that out of the way, let’s take a look at my picks.
Before we get started the breakfast of choice is leftover Wienerschnizel bacon wrapped hot dogs and what’s left of my chili cheese fries. This was actually supposed to be my dinner from last night but all I ate was the majority of the chili cheese fries while watching 90 Day Fiance. So Wienerschnizel is a hot dog chain where most of their food involves chili and cheese. I loved the place as a kid because the building is a long triangle with a slot cut in the middle for drive thru. Anyways as I wait for the impending heart burn and me questioning my breakfast choice let’s recap what I played.
Context for all these were: me with long hair, delivering pizza, playing music and reading Dumas, specifically, The Three Musketeers.
My staycation was a resounding success in helping me relax and get rid of stress. I meant to do a lot of cleaning out of the cottage, and I did get a lot done, but what I really ended up doing was playing a lot of Ratchet & Clank and watching a lot of mindless action movies. And it was so good!
The Soccer Decay Fighter has fenced in a bunch of zombies and caled it a Gonner Farm. He kicks his soccer balls of decay and turns zombies into quivering piles of goo. The remains are gathered with a tractor and used to fertilize a great crop of soccer balls. May his holy foot never tire.
More gets slowly added to the library as the year progresses. This is 1998 where I was in a band called Jack Diesel and suffering from a hypothyroid condition, which has since healed. I went from 160 lbs to 260 lbs over night. It was possible that my 16 hour work days got the better of me. I switched jobs, but not occupation, and chilled a bit. I met a guy who had a music studio and we shared it for a while. Nothing like trying to record stuff after midnight during the week. It's very quiet, maybe too quiet. I think I liked jam sessions better. Anyway, here are five media selections for your perusal.
Hurry, hurry, hurry! Step right up for the latest theme park attraction! It’s a theme park based around Mr. Driller, and it’s all underground! Sounds safe enough, right? Anyway, Mr. Driller Drill Land was an awesome GameCube title, but it only stayed in Japan. But now you can download it on Nintendo Switch in the US! Finally! Each attraction represents a game mode in this theme park, and I’m going to take you on a tour of all of them! So let’s begin!
