Good morning and look at this a Monday entry. How about that! Since I’m here, you’re here, let’s enjoy/get through my ramblings together. This should be fun (I’m currently thinking about pizza, on a Monday morning, at 9:05, and the local good place doesn’t open for another couple of hours.)
¡Hola Pixlbit! I am writing now because I might go out on Saturday to hit the local library and thrift stores to see what has been brought out since last week. Yeah I’m a little late but I’m here now and let’s do some recaps of what’s been going on.
Yes, I'm now playing the unenhanced 360 version of B2 on my XBO after beating the Handoms Collection version to 100%. Why? Because I left about 10 achievements unfinished from way back in 2014, when I last played it. My progress has been slow because these achievements are labor intensive. I've been having fun with it and also having serious frustrations and fatigue.
I played a bunch of stuff today.
The year is already half over, so it’s that time for me to do my Best Games of the Year SO FAR Awards Show! Most of the big name games come out in the later half of the year during the holiday season, so sometimes the games that come out in the first six months tend to be forgotten. Well this is where those games get their due! Keep in mind that no outside opinions went into making this list, and since it’s my list, if a game didn’t appear on here, I either haven’t played it yet or it just didn’t appeal to me as much. OK with that out of the way, let’s begin!
Good morning Pixlpeeps, and Happy Day 2 of Amazon Prime Day. Now I’ve been kind of waiting for Prime Day(s) even though I know it’s mostly crap and stuff I don’t need but I held out hope that there might be a digital game deal, or sd card sale that is worth it for me. The game deals leaked early and even if it looks solid, it’s nothing that jumps out to me as “Must Buy.” I do want Lego Villains but I can wait a bit longer because you know, Gems of War. The SD Card is the same. Actually I should have jumped on the 512gb card deal last week when it was $88. I think now it’s 91 and some change. I would have used that card in my music player, and swapped out the 200gb card in my music player to my Switch so I have a little more breathing room. Right now my current card has a whopping 4gb free, because I thought a 128gb would be enough. Oops.
I finally got every achievement in the XBO version of Borderlands 2. This is the version from The Handsome Collection and includes the new DLC that attempts to link the story to Borderlands 3. It isn't the end, though, because the 360 verison is playable and has its own set of achievements, which i haven't finished yet. I'm going to go back to it and try and 100% it too.
Yes. I know it's almost 2020, but the Fallout series is one I've always skipped over or not cared to play until I started playing through series. I've done this before with Resident Evil, Silent Hill and blogged about it on here. I don't remember what the reception for the game was at the time so it's wierd playing it in a bubble and mostly revisiting it through video blogs, reviews and essays. I'm half way through Fallout New Vegas.
The $260 is Canadian so expect the US price to be considerably less. Frankly I don't think I'm interested right now.
Well all the Labo VR things are built and all my articles about each one are written, so I figured I’d put them all into one place for easy reference if anyone is interested in reading about them. Enjoy!
It’s not Saturday but hey I’m here now so let’s recap my trip…and some cool stuff I found on CD Saturday.
I'm getting this right now. Monday is like my Friday, and I really can't wait to game on Tuesday. I should ignore this urge and get back to job searching, and so I shall, as soon as I finish this blog.
My other hobbies outside gaming are reading and music. I'm on a year long plan for both, each month having its own theme. I guess I'll break it down, for those who are interested.
Two years ago I did something that I truly regret: in desperate need of money, I sold my 3DS XL and knowing full well that my purchases couldn't be saved (or that they could and I didn't want to prep for that). I bought quite a few digital games and physical copies for that wonderful handheld. It didn't even matter to me that I had an older model (it wasn't a "new" 3DS).
I'm approaching completion of Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt and Torgue's Campaign of Carnage. I also beat the main story of Captain Scarlett and am working on the side missions. After that will be the season 2 DLC content and the Digistruct Peak Challenge. You'd think that would end it, but there are in-game challenges too. A vault hunter's work is never done.
Hey stop me if you heard this before but I’ve been gone for a bit. Crazy right? Anyways this is a little head’s up on what has been going on, a quick version (not a Quick Hits version, that’s a Friday thing).
Got another batch of games I’ve recently reviewed over at GamerDad.com. Please click on 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.
Problem is, I'm broke. But if it appears on Game Pass for Xbox One, I'm golden. Or, if my library gets it, I can rent it. Otherwise, I'll be waiting for sales to appear probably six months from now. So here's the list whether I get to play them or not.
It took less than 5 minutes to complete. Wasn't worth the time it took to download. Button mashed my way through the same monster 3 times and it was over.
