It's such a grind, this game, and also full of catastrophy. You try and play it safe but the odds get you eventually. I'm still at it though. I usually have some principal I follow that makes it a kind of story, even if it is usually a tragic one. I enjoy it somehow.
What's Konami's single most successful game? Metal Gear Solid 2? Nope. It's Frogger.
And Game Boy. I put all my current gen consoles away, stopped my subscriptions, and went full on retronaut. I got my Hyperkin 3 and Game Boy Player set up. I'm playing nothing but NES and Game Boy the rest of the month. Here's a pic of my rig now.
As it rains and t-storms for the second day in a row, I'm going to blog again. Thanks for the comments for the last blog posts and for the new Switch friends (thanks Cary and Super King!). Still enjoying my Switch and making my daily duties in Animal Crossing NH: recently unlocked the museum and the new Nook shopping building. I'm about 15,000 bells from paying off my first debt.
Good morning Pixlpeeps! It is Friday (I didn’t realize yesterday was Thursday until 5pm, nice surprise) which means a fun filled weekend is in store. Since my little town has lifted their mask wearing requirement I will still wear a mask because I don’t trust anyone in this little town. ANY.ONE. I will also still not leave the friendly confines of my neighborhood. Call me crazy but again I don’t trust ANYONE here in my little town. Anyways let’s get started!
Recently I reviewed Gals Fighters, one of the best games on the NEO GEO Pocket Color. I loved that little handheld, and I’m glad they ported this game to the Switch! It took a more silly, lighthearted tone. Female fighters from other SNK series compete in the Q.O.F. (Queen of Fighters) tournament to win a talisman that grants any wish. But the stories they gave to each of the characters and their wishes are pretty silly, and since I like talking about silly fighting game characters, I thought I’d make a separate blog about them!
You thought I forgot to post something today...I did. Anyways here I am, I shut off Madden because when you blow a 14-0 to Miami at home, and then lose by a field goal you lose the interest to play another game. There's really nothing for me to talk about today other than if you folks want free Grand Theft Auto V, Epic Games is giving it away for free. I don't know if their system is still down, but if it isn't and you want to play GTA V with maybe be able to mod it (no idea if you can with Epic Games) give it a try. Anyways I am hungry so I am going to go look for dinner. Have a good night...and WASH YOUR HANDS!
To not just post a blog but to finally join all the cool kids and acquire a Nintendo Switch Lite. That's right, the stimulus money finally arrived and I got lucky with this purchase. It wasn't even planned on. The original plan was to get a new Xbox One controller; I didn't even care about dropping $170 for an Elite controller. When the local Walmart had nothing in stock in regards to controllers, my eyes wandered to the Nintendo Switch cases. There was one box for a Coral skew/version/skin Lite and I made the choice right then and there. Who knows when an opportunity would come again.
Good morning Pixlpeeps! This popped up on my YouTube while I was looking for stuff to watch while eating breakfast (turkey sandwich, Cheddar & Sour Cream Ruffles, Pepsi). When I was in elementary school and in the marching band we had a field trip to watch the local Marine Corps Band play and I thought it was the coolest thing to see adults in band. I then learned that the top band is the President's Own's Marine Band. They wear these awesome red and blue uniforms, and they sound amazing. This is the band playing together while being stuck at home. Anyways have a good one and WASH YOUR HANDS!
Games, games, games. It's like my job right now. I get paid about 10 cents an hour via MS rewards points. Not exactly a living wage and no benefits, other than my pleasant state of mind.
Good morning Pixlpeeps so this popped up in my Twitter timeline
Just a couple games today. I tried to stick with them as long as I could.
Well hopefully I will remember to hit Live when I post this update later on today because apparently I need to remember to do this and then double check to make sure. Good morning Pixlpeeps! I am taking a little time off of sorting cards to update you good people on what has been going on game wise here in a little warm Southern California.
Two things I disliked in games the last few days were niggly piggly exact platforming and stealth. Two things I liked in games this week were tough melee fighting and exploration.
(Apparently I forgot to hit Live. Ooops. Have a good night!)
While not quite as popular as they used to be, Loot Boxes are a recent craze as of late. They’re boxes full of themed items that you either order through the mail, or get in a store. Most of the time you don’t know what you’re getting, but sometimes you do. The themes in these boxes range anywhere from video games, movies, or just dog toys and treats. I’ve been tempted to get loot boxes from time to time, but I usually don’t because I like to know what I’m paying for, and many are just too expensive. That loot box at PAX South that had Mega Man on the sides was mighty tempting, but not at 50 bucks! However, there have been a few times in the past year or so where I bought a loot box sold in the games section at Wal-Mart or Target when they were on sale. Why did it take me so long to write about them? Well I thought I’d save them for a rainy day, and now seems about as rainy as ever. Also I have a selection of random games I’ve reviewed at GamerDad.com as well, and just like loot boxes, you never know what you’re going to get until you check them out! So please click on the links and read as many as you can, and maybe post a ‘like’ or comment or two. I’d appreciate it. OK let’s begin!
Good afternoon Pixlpeeps! I’m currently taking a little break from playing a game that I like that is a mobile game but you can earn XBox Achievements (I was unsure and I just checked and it looks like it shows up on your XBox profile). Its a typical freemium game but…BUT you can play a single mode where you don’t have to interact with other people. I’m playing Forza Street which is a freebie mobile game. Controls are simple: you revive the engine by tapping on the peddle keeping it in green, when you see a turn you let go of the peddle, let the car drift and right as you see the yellow section you hit the peddle again. When it is full you tap the left side of the screen and you hit the Nos. Easy.
