Well good morning Pixlpeeps and I have to say this is the first time I’ve been in front of a laptop in a couple of days. I spent the weekend in San Francisco for a baby shower for my future nephew. While we were there I also spent time as a tourist doing the ultimate touristy thing and that is take the bus tour around the city, see some sights, soak up a little history and trivia and overall just enjoy the cool weather. Since I have no idea what to do for BaD this will be my jumping off point…and as a bonus my trip details will be in bullet point for that good ol’ fashion Cliffs Notes feel.
I picked up a little USB C attachment. There are a few options on Amazon but I chose the one below.

I wasn’t sure at first if I was going to do a ‘best games of the decade’ blog since I wasn’t clear if the decade ends at 2019 or 2020. But then I looked at the last time I wrote a ‘best games of the decade’ blog and it was at the beginning of 2010, and it went from 2000 to 2009, so I figured I’d do one now after all. I provided a link to my last ‘best games of the decade’ blog because I thought it was interesting to read something I wrote ten years ago. So we’re doing it again, although it’s pretty much the games that won my “Game of the Year” award for the past ten years.
I haven't done BaD (Blog a Day) for the last few years, but the times that I have I've always really enjoyed it. So this year I'm doing it again, and I'll be posting something every day (that's 29 straight posts). Before I let you know what I'll be doing, let me ask, who is participating this year? I would love to know if you will be doing BaD. Also, what will you be doing? Will you be doing a specific series?
For a while there, I had forgotten about being able to save video and screen shots on Xbox. I'm back at it though. Here are a few recent ones.
Ok so I am currently on my couch on a Monday night and I thought it would be a good time to type out my thoughts about what I have been playing this past week. I’ve spent some time with my new toy/emulator machine and I can give some thoughts about that. Let’s get started before the commercial ends and it’s back to me yelling out letters on Wheel Of Fortune.
Yes, yes, it's almost that time again. I know it's been slower around here lately, but you can take my BaD when you pry it from my cold, dead hands. I haven't been blogging a lot, but I've been thinking about blogging, and plan to use the ideas I've been having for our lovely BaD. For those who want to participate - Great! For those who are too busy, no worries! Don't throw money into your fireplace! Warm yourselves this winter around the best hearth of all - BaD!
I’ve started a row on my bookshelf for a games library. I used metacritic’s all-time highest rated database as a guide. I went down the list and picked games that I wanted to play again and ones I’ve been desperate to play for years. Here’s the list I made from page one.
That means 90 emeralds left on the 1000 emeralds achievement for Minecraft Xbox One Edition. I tried something new this time instead of just working my system from previous days. It didn’t really work too well. Here’s why.
I made some serious progress on Minecraft's 1000 Emeralds achievement the other day. I broke my own record and now the end is in sight. Here’s how it went.
Just got back from PAX South last week so I’ve written an article about it and here’s some more game reviews comin’ atcha as well! 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. So grab your shovel, we’ve got a lot to dig through here!
Good morning Pixlpeeps! I waited until today to write because it was MLK Day on Monday, and I was cleaning, I was hoping to finish GTA V’s Main Story for the bazillionth time (I’m on the last big mission), and I wanted to wait for this guy to show up in my mailbox. I was on the fence about buying this for a bit, in particular which one to buy. Do I get the smaller one that fits phones or do I go bigger form factor for small tablets. I decided with the one for phones because I would most likely carry around the smaller stuff than a 7” tablet.
I cleared off all my toys-to-life stuff from my gaming rig the other day and prepared my system for a new focus on a games list I made up. I was prepared to play the first game on the list when Minecraft happened. Mark was playing it when I got to his place, so I jumped in and it became a kind of obsession to make progress on the 1000 emeralds achievement. I have 11 days left if I want the rewards points as well.
This week’s gaming included two long deathful sessions with Witcher III and Minecraft, then a crashing demo and a deathful indie game.
I’m trying to think back throughout the past week to see if anything sticks out and at first nothing popped into my head but as I was typing this I remembered a couple of things. Crazy how that works. Good morning Pixlpeeps! It is a somewhat chilly Friday morning here in Southern California and yesterday I made a comment about how in November the minute it hit 75° I was wearing a hoodie and jeans but yesterday it was 66° and I went out in a windbreaker and some basketball shorts. Crazy how things work out. Also windbreaker and basketball shorts is one pair of slides away from being super lazy, but I wore shoes so I was good. Anyways let’s get started with the things I remembered before I forget them.
It’s that time of year again! It’s the Cary’s Best Games of 2019 Awards Show blog! Keep in mind that no outside opinions went into the making of this list. It’s just my own picks. And if a game is missing from my list, it either didn’t appeal to me as much, or I just simply haven’t played it yet. Can’t play all the games out there, you know!
I played a bunch of stuff, chasing Microsoft Rewards points and playing one co-op game.
Good morning Pixlpeeps! Currently it is a cool 55° and sunny and I am writing this blog entry before heading out. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend full of various things or just stayed home and be lazy. Either is fun.
