Good morning Pixlpeeps! Apparently it’s Friday (I really should look at my Star Dates in the title) which means it’s Quick Hits. Since I haven’t been outside it’s really gonna be quick. Ok let’s go!
But first a few games I forgot to mention I played the other day; then EDF 2025 and my failed attempt to start the new Borderlands 3 DLC.
I woke up around 5:30ish and what’s on TV? Clint Eastwood’s Heartbreak Ridge. I own this movie, it’s one of my favorites and it’s on TV so why not watch. Before I went to sleep another one of my favorites The Martian was on. I had some good luck on movies.
I did some afternoon gaming today. Chores in the morning, gaming in the afternoon, that’s my routine right now.
Good morning Pixlpeeps! I am on my little iPad keyboard hook up and I am updating today from bed. Actually I will get up after this but I should get this up and running before I forget later on.
Like GoAztecs, I've decided to write more blogs in an attempt to entertain myself (and you guys) in these trying times. Today though I have some sad (but more annoying) news - my shitbag Razer laptop, which has caused me nothing but trouble since it was shipped to me from China a few years ago, has finally gone kaput. It's been about two weeks since it last started up, and I've now packed it up in my ottoman storage area to deal with it at a later date. I'm not especially heartbroken about this... like I said, it was a piece of shit computer. But I am a little frustrated. I mostly use my iPad for everything these days, including writing and editing, but I still like having a computer for some tasks.
I feel like I don’t actually play any particular game anymore, just metagames. I jump from game to game, gathering achievements and reward points, maybe trophies too, and only hang around if the game really grabs me. I guess this is the way of modern video gaming. What else can you do when you are looking at hundreds of games every time you sit down to play. So here’s another list of games I visited across two systems today.
Good morning Pixlpeeps! I’ve decided to start a Corona BaD because well why not. It’ll be a little something to help pass the time, and hopefully I stick with it because the goal will be to write one or two sentences, maybe talk about a game, maybe just be random, you know the usual. Anyways you good people are more than welcome to join in.
I wonder sometimes whether certain games have forgotten they are entertainment and become devices for mental torture. Pixeljunk to the rescue. I ended today on a good note. Although, the rest of my locality didn't. We got a lockdown order. But about the games. . .
You know some mornings if I listen closely I can hear the freeway which is a couple of miles away. This morning as I was walking around the backyard it was quiet. It’s odd but at the same time I’m happy that it is just quiet. Good morning Pixlpeeps let’s get started on what Chris has been playing this past week (I just want to finish typing this so I can jump into a fresh box of cereal.)
Things have been pretty weird as of late, as I’m sure you all know. I’ve gotten behind in my blogs and so have to dump a lot of games I’ve played over the last four or five days. Here they are.
The good news is that I still have my job. The University of Arkansas is closing all its buildings starting Monday and only essential personnel are allowed on the properties (campus police, custodians and some exceptions I'm not thinking of). So I still have to show up five days a week, sanitizing the buildings. But I am getting paid. So, it can be worse.
It’s been years since I’ve eaten cereal and I decided to start yesterday. I mean why not, mix it up a little, and not go full homemade waffles (out of the Eggo box). A couple of things: 1. the milk first folks are weird, 2. why isn’t there a toy in the box? I have four boxes of cereal and zero toys. Good morning Pixlpeeps! I’m here, you’re there, we have some time let’s just ramble on about anything and everything. You read, I write and we’ll all have a good time
It's rare when I finish a game and all its achievements, but I've done three this week, the third one today.
I didn't think it would be as easy as it was to make up 1300 achievement points, but there are lists online. I didn't just play anything, though, but games that interested me.
So as I am sitting here waiting for a load of laundry to finish, while many many loads of laundry still wait I feel it’s time to update you good people…also I love you all but you need to stand…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………this far away from the screen (just in case). So let’s see if I can remember what I’ve been playing.
Well, I'm off work for two weeks because of the pandemic. Lucky for.me, It will be as if a paid vacation. So I played some games today with.my friend Mark.
So what are y'all playing? I've been reading mostly, but I've been telling myself to get back to Dragon Quest 11. I'm at the point of the martial arts contest.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! It’s your lucky day, too! At the end of the rainbow lies a pot of…more games reviews I’ve written recently 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!
Batman enemy within finished. Marks play very different. I got the vigilante Joker ending and he got the villain joker ending. He had to okay a lot more game than I. I was surprised at how different it was. If you play Batman more like Canon you get the villain. Joker ending and it all seems more like true Batman story that way.
So get this: earlier this morning, around 4am I get up to use the bathroom, and went I get back to bed I hear this faint beep-beep-beep-beep. I’m barely awake so I’m looking around to see if I turned on the TV (you would think the glow of the TV in a dark room would be the first clue I would look for, but I’m again half asleep). It’s not on, so I peak out of the window because the HOA put out an email about people getting into the neighborhood and stealing cars. I wanted to know if some yahoo was doing some kind of computer wizardry on the truck. It was still there, and now I’m awake. Is it the crazed car steeling gang? Is it aliens? Is it aliens who are in a crazed car steeling gang? I stayed up until 6am when I just fell asleep. The faint beep-beep-beep-beep sound would come in and out but stopped around 5ish. Thinking about it now especially with the rhythm of the beeps I think it was someone’s alarm clock across the little park/retaining basin. Also I have a lot of neighbors who go to work around 4:30am….or it’s that crazed car steeling gang.
Well, Saturday was Ice Cube singing my praises for coming out to a country venue (Nutty Brown Ampitheatre and Cafe) in a suburb of Austin (Dripping Springs) after SXSW was cancelled and Ice Cube said I was awesome for it and told people selling their tickets to check themselves before wrecking themselves.
So I just got back from getting a Whooping Cough shot at the local CVS and I celebrated with a sausage breakfast burrito and I found a new jersey (more on that on Friday…the jersey not the burrito….but the burrito was good). Anyways Happy March 10th or what Twitter is calling it Happy MAR10 Day. I saw that there was an announcement for Mario Lego sets, which seems cool but I kinda want to see a game where Mario is treated like any other Lego Property. Can you image how fun a SMB in Lego would be? Anyways since today is MAR10 I didn’t play any Mario licensed games but I did play…
