Can you believe that 2015 is already over? What I like to do around this time is write about the best games of the past year. 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! Plus I do apologize if this list leans toward the Nintendo side. I don’t have an Xbox One or PS4 yet, so you’ll just have to deal with it. So with that out of the way, welcome to my Best Games of 2015 Awards Show!
Recently I played and beat the new holiday title, LEGO Dimensions. I was impressed with some of the worlds you explore and licenses used, so I decided I’d write a blog about it. In short, LEGO Dimensions is essentially Skylanders with LEGOs. You buy and build LEGO figures and vehicles, and then put them on a special pedestal so you can play as them in the game. Unlike Disney Infinity, any character and vehicle can go into any world at any time. That’s one thing that Skylanders and LEGO Dimensions does right. Half the fun was seeing all the worlds you could go into, and what surprises you’d find. In fact, brother Jeff (who I always play LEGO games with), described the game as ‘LEGO Kingdom Hearts’ and I like how he put that. So let’s dive into the portal and see what we can see!
Pixlpeeps, what is up? Friday is here and this is going to be a two-part blog. Let me explain. I’m currently writing this blog in the morning getting most of my thoughts typed before I head out to pick up my sneakers from the UPS facility, and continuing this entry once I get home. Ok so its two-part for me, one long blog for you folks. So the weekend; Are you excited? I think I am going out of town again this weekend but I don’t know if its going to be camera worthy or just snapping pictures with the phone. We shall see. I need to use the Mii’s I collected last week so I have free space for more Mii’s. Seriously why do we only get 10? I think we should collect as many Mii’s as possible. Anyways let’s get this Quick Hits started!
So Pixl Peeps I don’t know why but the past couple of weeks I’ve been putting off the Monday entries for Tuesday entries. Why? No idea, I think it feels more comfortable to post on Tuesday’s because I have an extra day to maybe play some games, collect my thoughts, you know the usual. Over the weekend I have to say for the second weekend in a row I really wasn’t in the gaming mood, which is odd considering that was the time to play the Battlefront Beta, continue on Lego Dimensions, and any other games I have in Mount Backlog. When I have been playing stuff its usually been on the Asus Memo Pad, because it’s the new toy. I also mixed in some iPad gaming but a good 80% of my free time has been around the Memo Pad.
Good morning Pixlbit, how are you today? I know you good people are excited that it is Friday and the weekend is hours away. I spent the earlier this morning doing my usual of beating my alarm by an hour, and watching local news while reading Twitter. Exciting isn’t it? I just finished editing some photos so why not start this week’s Quick Hits!
Good Afternoon Pixlbit Nation! It is Friday and I just finished lunch after running around all morning. I am happy the weekend is here so I can just plop myself down someplace comfy and just do nothing but spend time with Mr. PS4. I think we all go through those moments where we don’t want to do anything until Monday starts so you know how I’m feeling. Let’s get this latest blog started and start the next edition of Quick Hits With Chris!

I'm later than usual with this blog. I couldn't find a decent camera to take pictures. Oh well, it's better late than never. I did good in 2014. I didn't buy a lot of games. Got too many digital games though. There were some decent sales this year.
So my friend and I were talking about the 80's, something we do often because we are way too nostaligic for our own good, when she mentioned the Back to the Future shoes Nike is making and how ridiculous they are. This got me to thinking about how cool sneakers were in th 80's and how ugly and retarded they are today. I miss the fat oversized tongues and padded collars. Fat laces, simple colors, and moddest sized logos and names. Some of the shoes nowadays look like an alien turd, wavy sculpted foam with loud neon colors, or the shoe is a giant billboard smothered in over sized names and logos. It almost seems like shoe makers are competing to see who can make the ugliest shoes. One of my favorite pair of shoes when I was a kid were a pair of white leather Keds high tops. The cool thing about Keds were you could customize the the little double triangle logo. The little plastic triangles snapped on & off and you could get them in a variety of colors. And yes, I am aware that this blog make me sound like one of those old farts going "well back in my day". But I am starting to undersatnd those old farts now. Go figure.
I know I'm a tad late getting this in, but I've been seriously busy at work...I'm on a 10-day stretch currently, with Wednesday being my day off, pending.
Lately I’ve been reading things about major networks taking off their Saturday morning cartoon lineup and whatnot. I don’t really know the details about all of it because news about Saturday morning cartoons just isn’t at the top of my radar anymore. But it got me to thinking about my favorite Saturday morning cartoons as a kid, so I decided to list my top ten. I think I did a blog like this before, but it’s been quite a while so I think it’s worth revisiting.
Well hello good people of the Pixlbit Galaxy! How was your weekend? Anything good happen? Did you take down that game from your backlog or find something cool? My weekend was filled with naps, football, the swapmeet, and I actually fired up a couple of my consoles. Sorry 360, I still haven’t played anything since August.
Bored on a Friday night, so I figured that while my son monopolizes the living room telly with his addiction to the Wild Kratts cartoon, I'd catalogue my exploits thus far in the year. Submitted for your approval, PixlBitches. Bigups to Snee; he taught me that the term PixlBitches is indeed, viable.
My first pick was Rainbow Moon $14.99 which is a srpg which is right up my alley and like alot of you already know its not for everyone, but for thoughs of you who trust my judgment in Srpgs and Jrpgs then trust me if you dont mind alot of turn based grinding then you will love this game.
I've meant to blog earlier, and also to get all my photos uploaded to the internet so I can do a ranger blog with pictures, but life got in the way. My mom's not well and I've been a little distracted. Anyway, on to what I've been up to.
