Mark and I cleared a bunch of achievements I never thought I'd do in Borderlands 2. We beat several RAID bosses co-op and discovered every area and did every side mission in the main game. We also both found Donkey Mong. Now I'm working on the old DLC again, going for total completion.
Until yesterday I didn't even know it was coming. Downloading as I write this.
Well I FINALLY beat Kingdom Hearts 3. It’s getting harder and harder to get into these long games anymore! Anyway, I was impressed with the Disney worlds you tromp around in the game, so much so that I decided to write a blog about them. I will give a spoiler warning now, but don’t worry, I won’t spoil the plot for you as I think the storyline in Kingdom Hearts games are garbage and I don’t really play the games for the story anyway. I just like beating up baddies in Disney worlds. So if you haven’t played Kingdom Hearts 3 yet and want the worlds you explore to be a surprise, then don’t read this blog. Otherwise, have fun reading my opinions and observations of the Kingdom Hearts 3 worlds!
So we've just had E3, and the year is half over. We have the PS5 and the Xbox Scarlet on the horizon, as well as rumors of a Switch hardware revision. But there are a lot of games coming down the pipeline, including some games which finally havs a release date after God knows how many years. So here is what I'm looking forward to.
I've now completed every side mission in the main game of Borderlands 2 with the Mechromancer.
Today i finished the new DLC that attempts to lead into what is coming in Borderlands 3. I'd say it did a great job of it. I can't spoil anything, but it makes me want to get into B3 sooner than ever. After that, I ran through all the side missions in the main game attempting to get a few achievements I missed first time around.
I finished the main game of B2 today, or nearly so, and then started the new DLC that's supposed to link up the story of B2 with upcoming B3. I haven't finished it yet but it's interesting so far.
¡Hola Pixlpeeps! Sorry I haven’t been around in a bit but things fell into my lap that needed to be dealt with. You don’t need to hear the details but we all have issues that need to get resolved and I’m no different but here we are so let’s get positive and talk about game stuff.
In the midst of E3, I discovered that Gearbox had created a new DLC for Borderlands 2. It's supposed to bridge the story to Borderlands 3. So, I had to break out B2 again and play it. Only, I didn't just play the DLC, I started over and attempted to replay the whole game. After several days, I'm still not ready to play the new DLC.
On my last blog post, I posted about the return of my podcast, The Past and The Pending and posted a link. However, I switched hosting sites and forgot to update that url link so one or more of you encountered a 404 screen. The good news is that I have the new url here and a new episode was posted last week. If you're a fan of the film 2001: A Space Odyssey, you may enjoy this one.
Hamster's most recent release of its Arcade Archives this week is a 1982 game called Pooyan, by Konami.
So another E3 has come and gone, and it’s another year where I was denied a press pass. Ever since 1996, I was going to E3 pretty regularly, but for some reason a few years ago, they stopped letting me in. And yet somehow I was able to get a press pass last year. But not this time! They may say it’s because the numbers of the site I write for are too low, but I’m beginning to wonder if it’s really because I’m just too weird for E3. And if that statement has you intrigued, then please read on for my unique reactions and commentary on things I read and watched about this year’s show.
Lately, I've been playing three classic compilations on my Switch. Two of these are from Konami - the Castlevania and Contra Anniversary Collections. Konami has been re-releasing a lot of its old library lately, after being largely a no-show in the gaming world since the huge fiasco over Kojima Productions and MGS V. Hopefully they're taking a few hesitant steps back into the gaming world beyond Yu-Gi-Oh and Pro Evolution Soccer. They're even jumping into the mini-console scene with mini TurboGrafx-16/PC Engine consoles - the consoles were originally developed by Hudson Soft, and ownership therefore passed to Konami when they bought Hudson.
My Hype for E3 is Over 9000!!!
I generally don't get excited for E3 anymore. I have too many great unplayed games as is. But I'm always down for something from Arkane (of Dishonored and Prey fame) and they've got a trippy new game that looks pretty cool.
This was on my short game list, and it was on sale for $3, so I bought and played it. . . three times. I enjoyed it, especially going for achievements, which is why I played it three times.
I just found out this exists and I want everyone to know about it: https://ogn.theonion.com/
