So it’s a Wednesday and guess what? I actually kinda played some games. Crazy right? Well I did and I even made one up, I called it a Science Experiment and if you’re on Twitter you probably saw it but more on that in a bit. Let’s get started!
I cannot get pictures to load onto my blog on this site anymore, to see a better edited version of my blog, click here: https://f1r3inth3h0l3.blogspot.com/
Hey folks, I just wanted to post this blog to let you know that I won’t be writing any more game reviews. APRIL FOOLS! This blog is the total opposite of that! It’s more 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.
Looking ahead, but not too far, just the next month. I got a few I'd like to play.
So it's been 90s week on my Switch this week. I got Turok a little over a week ago, and then I've also been playing a certain little known PS1 RPG that somehow just found its way onto a Nintendo console over 20 years later. And that got me thinking about the N64.
So a week ago the HOA signed a new deal with the local cable company where now everyone in the neighborhood gets the Ultimate Uber Package or whatever it is called, and yesterday the house got upgraded. We already had a bunch of channels that I rarely watch with the exception of a handful but now we get everything but Starz for some reason. Last night I watched professional Darts, and earlier this morning I watched fencing, and while I am currently enjoying this terrible cheese pizza I am watching Better Luck Tomorrow, a movie that I own on DVD, yet I am watching on TV. I like to think that is a swanky Quick Hits entrance.
I drove a van in Forza, a flat-bed truck in Crackdown and a myriad of robot bodies in Headlander the other day.
Yes um. . . played me some Forza Horizon 4, Wargroove and Just Cause 4. All were very nice. Details. . .
I met my baby nephew, Patrick, while visiting my brother and sister-in-law Sunday afternoon. Pat is adorable like you read about and I think he's in good hands. I wasn't there for long: maybe 90 minutes tops before they had to leave for family pictures. I'll see them again this coming Sunday when the baby shower drops. My brother and sis-in-law tried for adoption for 4 years and they lucked out with this little guy.
From Forza Horizon 4, to Crackdown 3, to Just Cause 4, I was jumping from one sandbox game to another today. I also squeezed in a little Wargroove.
It has been a couple of weeks since I have entered any blogs here and well I haven’t been playing games. In fact the majority of my free time has been dedicated to ripping CDs (big shock). I have been playing the usual two games that I stick with along with a scared check of GTA but we shall get into that in a bit.
So last we’ll look at the rest of the games on the vol. 3 collection of Atari games, these coming from the 2600. I have to say that I don’t have as much nostalgia for the 2600. I did play it a lot at friends and neighbors’ houses, but I didn’t own one myself until many years later. Plus I just don’t think most of the 2600 library is that good. I did like most of Activision’s games, and there were a few arcade ports that were decent, like Moon Patrol or Centipede. But most of the Atari made games just didn’t grab me. So if I gloss over a lot of these, now you know why. Anyway, let’s look at the games on here.
The other day I spent some time in Forza Horizon 4 getting daily challenges, Free-Roam Rush rankings, beating The Kraken and Leviathan races on Fortune Island and finally getting all the bounty boards.
So today, I downloaded Turok on Switch. It's a gussied up port of the N64 adventure/FPS, with all the good and bad that entails. It honestly probably holds up better than most 5th gen games, running pretty fast and smooth.
Here are some postcards from my latest gaming. I fllipped my lid in Forza Horizon 4, made apple banners in Minecraft and led a team of warpups in Wargroove.
Once you don't commit to certain things for a long period of time, such as keeping lines of communication open, it can be a hard habit to break. So that explains why I haven't posted since my one BaD entry last month. I suppose I need to try blogging more often just to get back in the swing of things.
