I did not forget to write a blog for today, nope nope nope…yeah so I forgot but it is still Monday here in breezy Southern California so here is a recap of stuff I’ve been playing.
A little Doughlings, a little Journey to the Savage Planet and a lot of Borderlands 3 co-op.
I noticed that most of the games in this batch of reviews I’ve recently written over at GamerDad.com are based on classic games or have classic arcade game elements, so hence the title. Anyway, 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!
I picked up a few games on sale today and spent the time with mostly retro arcade games. I caught up to HaloChief90 and surpassed his achievement score. I'm on top of my friends list for the moment. Here's what I played.
It's not easy to share screen shots from Xbox. I have to capture video to get a shot that isn't greyed out at the bottom like it is for screenshots. Now i see they've also obscured the bottom section of the video with the progress bar. What on earth are they doing? Anyway, as best as I could, the screenshots I gathered from today's gaming.
Good morning Pixlpeeps! Hey I’m typing away in the morning, I haven’t done that in a couple of days. It’s a breezy Southern California day and while I am waiting for my Brita Water Pitcher to clean some water I thought we would do our usual and catch up…from a safe distance.
Good Afternoon Pixlpeeps! I spent the most of the day outside and now I am inside and I am ready to play a game so for today's blog here's a song that reminds me of going to the old K-Mart as a kid and buying GI Joe's. Anyways have a good one...AND WASH YOUR HANDS!
Halochief90 got ahead of me in achievement points today. Only by 20, at first, so it gave me a goal to shoot for. The first easy achievement game on my list was Batman The TellTale Series. I had to download episode 4 first, though. Why this game downloads episodes one at a time instead of all at once, is a mystery to me. The files are small, though, so not too long a wait. In the meantime, I played some of my new retro game collections.
Hello Pixlpeeps! I just got done yelling at my TV because as my NBA 2K game was ending my HDMI cable decided to cut in and out and I didn't get a good shot off and lost the game. So many cuss words were used. Anyways here are some freebie games that are available. Take advantage of it and add them to your library. Have a good one...AND WASH YOUR HANDS!
I don't know what connects any of these games I played today, but here they are.
Not a fan. I dont' like sneakin' in games. I'm no Gollum. But I did a lot of sneakin' the last few days in several games: Fable Anniversary, Alien Isolation and theHunter: Call of the Wild. I am so done with that.
Good afternoon Pixlpeeps! I just got done playing some NBA 2K and before I get back to cataloging my football cards I should give an update on what I have been kinda playing. You would think with extra time I would jump into something new but yet I’m still playing the usual games.
A lot of jumping around from game to game, as usual.
I've put my personal quest first over the rewards and achievement quests I've been doing. The personal one is highlighting a historical game mechanic and finding modern equivalents. I'm on brick breakers this month. But I got around to maintaining my number 1 status in monthly achievements among my friends list on Xbox and knocking off a few Xbox Rewards.
Good morning Pixlpeeps! We are supposed to get more rain here in sunny Southern California which I am ok with because again I like the rain. There really hasn’t been anything crazy exciting other than I visited the far off land known as the other bedroom, no mask required. This is also where I spread out my football cards, stacked and ready to be cataloged and then placed in a box. Oh and so this happened a couple of days ago…
I discovered BreakQuest by reading about games like Breakout. All you have to do to get me to play a game is put Quest in the title. I'm enjoying it at home in the spare minutes between shopping and chores today.
Good afternoon Pixlpeeps! I was taking a nice nap with the idiot neighbor down the street decided to constantly rev the engine of his motorcycle but not ride the damn thing. Since I'm up I might as well share that a couple of days ago I had a dream where I went to the mall and bought some CDs. I would have thought I would have had a dream about a cheeseburger but CDs make sense. Anyways here is a series that I really like on YouTube from Amoeba Records where they have musicians go into their store and do a show and tell off what they bought. Sometimes it's interesting and sometimes folks are just weird (in a good way). WASH YOUR HANDS!
I think we can all agree that 2020 is one of the worst years in recent history. It certain has been for me, and probably for most others, what with everything going on! I feel like I need a vacation on a desert island. And luckily, I kind of got that with Animal Crossing: New Horizons. I am so thankful that it came out when it did. It gave me a sense of normalcy and saneness during these times. You see, the Animal Crossing game series is very special to me because it’s a game I’ve loved playing with my friends and family over the years. And it’s not the first time an Animal Crossing game helped me cope with a rough patch in my life. So in this blog, I thought I’d go over the other times an Animal Crossing game helped me get through tough times, and I’ll briefly talk about the other games in the series as well.
Today I played a bunch of Peggle Nights, Gears 5 Hoard mode, a touch of Batman Arkham Knight and just a skosh of Kingdom Hearts III - like a desert on a four course meal.
Good morning Pixlpeeps! It is a chilly and rainy Wednesday here in Southern California. I just got a notification that my toothpaste order is on it’s way and I’m excited but I have to wear a mask to go to the mailbox (blah). A couple of random thoughts this morning:
