I beat 14 games this year guys! I still...bought...alot....but I did atleast conquer some of the ones I did buy. Thats a plus....right?
I wanted to wish yall a Happy New Year! I know I havent excatly been around like I said, Im super sorry. We have had some family problems come up and that has taken a lot of my mind space.
Well good morning Pixlpeeps and happy last day of 2018…unless you’re in an area that is already 2019 but
The last couple years I’ve applied a year-long theme to help me choose media to consume. Last year I chose from a different 5-year span every month starting with my birth year. This coming year I thought I’d make it decades and start at 1900.
Turns out Sunset Overdrive and Assassin's Creed Origins do not work on my PC. I've already been refunded for Origins (well, received an email saying I'd see the charge removed or a credit in my bank account within 14 business days) and have been sent an email regarding my refund request for Sunset Overdrive.
It crashes all the time, it takes ten minutes after waking to sign on to the wireless, the mousepad is broken, and the damn bottom is peeling off. Arg! What a mistake. Well, sometime this year I'm gonna get a new computer. I've been thinking of getting a new Mac Mini. They're not too expensvie, and I need dependability. We'll see.
Yeah, I don't want to look at how much I've spent on games in the last week or so. I've basically become my own Santa, but with a lot less impulse control than I imagine Santa to have.
2018 came and went and to be honest, I just didn't really feel this year. There were some fine games that came out, sure, but as opposed to last year where my top 10 list had left out games I adored, I had a hard time thinking up a top 5 list worthy enough. Granted, if I put in more time into Red Dead Redemption 2, Soul Calibur 6, and a few other games that might change, but I still feel original games were lacking. What wasn't lacking, however, were the games I missed out on before and played for the first time. So I'm gonna tack on a list from other years as well as they represented what I played better than just the new games. And I'll be mixing them with my other games this year as well to give an idea of what I enjoyed more than others.
I've rediscovered the joy of riding horses in Minecraft. All that tedious walking is instantly left behind with a good horse.
After downloading Iris.Fall and GRIS, both of which I plan to review, I now have 100 games in my Steam library.
I played a little of my Christmas present, Spyro Reignited Trilogy today and I absolutely love it so far, save for a couple spots where I just barely miss a landing out of a glide. It's pretty relaxing overall, focusing much more on exploration than anything else, and with one-or-two-hit enemies occasionally mixed in with the collectibles. There's a lot of personality here and it even looks like a modern day cartoon show with better animation.
I don't know why, but as I got tired of playing just about everything, I've been somewhat revived by puzzle games.
This week at GamerDad we’ve looked at the three main things you can build with the Nintendo Labo Vehicle Kit. So now I’ll wrap things up with links to all three articles so you can view them more conveniently, as well as some conclusions on the set as a whole.
I'm still in choice paralysis, but when Mark invited me into his Minecraft world (survival mode), I had to go. So we played that a good long time. What's to tell? Just a lot about frustrating hidden treasures and cats, lots of cats.
Gonna be busy tomorrow, so I wanted to wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy Festivus! I hope you all get the games you want and Santa puts cool Amiibos in your stockings!!!
Good morning Pixlpeeps! I wish I could write a bunch but it is the big push before Christmas and I need get some stuff done before tomorrow. Anyways I will hopefully write more a little later but for right now I want to wish you all a safe and Merry Christmas! Here’s hoping that Santa brings all you good people all things you want, and you get to spend quality time with your special people and eats lots of food…and sprinkle in some gaming.
I saw Aquaman last night, and while the dialogue is cheesy and expository as all hell, I thought Mamoa and Herd worked really well together (Herd being a hot redhead in the movie didn't hurt), the general National Treasure meets an episode of Power Rangers vibe was a fun plus for me rather than a negative, and the biggest strength the movie has going for it in my mind is the stunning visuals. I thought James Wan did an excellent job creating the world of Atlantis and I honestly would love to do an IMAX 3D double feature of Into the Spider-Verse and Aquaman.
Into the Spider-Verse is probably the most interesting style I've seen a movie take on in recent memory. It does the comic book panel thing Ang Lee's Hulk tried to do really well, the animation style goes really well with Miles Morales' graffiti art hobby, and the rap/hip-hop soundtrack is the first I've heard in a while that actually matches what's on screen in a complementary way.
i struggled to complete the second tutorial exam in Final Fantasy Explorers. Mark and I challenged each other in various Atari Flashback Classics Vol. 3 games. We watched Blade Runner 2049. We played Minecraft in co-op, survival mode for a good long time. That's it in a nutshell.
I keep telling myself I'm going to be better at blogging, and I write a blog post, and then I disappear again. But then again, up until a few months ago, I hadn't been doing much gaming. And then I was too busy gaming to be bothered to blog. So, here's what I've been up to:
I picked up Final Fantasy Explorers today, finished the new achievements in Minecraft, and spent a little bit of time on Fortune Island in Forza Horizon 4.
I saw Mortal Engines last weekend and today Mark and I tackled Minecraft's newest achievements having to do with the panda and scaffolding.
NIS America recently released a collection of some of SNK’s arcade hits on the Switch. While SNK is mostly known for their fighting games and NEO GEO, before then they made other arcade games, too, and that’s what this collection is all about. So no King of Fighters or other NEO GEO games. Mostly pre-90’s stuff here. But despite having a lot of army themed shooters, this is still a pretty good collection, so I thought I’d go over the games on it today.
