Firstly, I like the progression of Blogs. It goes: Fuck Nintendo, 3DS is Awesome, Bought a 3DS.
(Quick warning! For those who have yet to play this sublime adventure, there are many spoilers ahead. You have been warned!)
So my computer won't start. At all. I tried all of the cords to see if it was a faultu cable. I opened it up and made sure everything was connected properly. Only thing I can think of is that there's a problem with the power supply.I took it in to get it repaired, but I'm worried about how much it will cost.
In my last blog, I discussed the Wii U, detailing both the good and the bad of the struggling system. And that was to be my “Nintendo piece” for the foreseeable future.
It may have taken me an inordinate amount of time but towards the end of last month I finally managed to finish up Conception II. All in all it's a pretty good game, and I had a blast.
So just what have I been up to in the (more than a) month since I last posted? Lots of stuff.
In about 30 minutes we'll be leaving for the airport to visit my family for a few days. Well, assuming my in-laws are on time to pick us up. It will be very...interesting flying with my not-quite-two-year-old son but my wife has pretty much every possibility prepared for, though I'm sure we'll still have some surprises. Speaking of my wife have I mentioned that she's pregnant? At this point I can't remember who I've told lol. She is about halfway through things (found out last week it's another boy!) and it's just one more thing to make the trip...interesting.
Just a quick rundown of stuff that's been happening recently, for anyone who's interested.
Not about to let Disney's Donald Duck hog all the fame and fortune, Daffy Duck starred in his own Nintendo 64 platformer as well. Unfortunately, this is another case where I'm not very familiar with the source material, having seen the show maybe a few times when I was younger and don't remember a lick of it. However, the game is plenty decent enough to stand on its own, or maybe it's just my love of platformers talking.
So, just what have I been up to lately? Not much now that I think about it, but it's been more than a fortnight since I've posted a blog and I don't want to start slacking off.
I hope most of my friends have recovered from St. PaDDy's Day. I myself stay in, I don't have a lot of desire to carouse with the plastic Paddy set. Anyway, here's what 'e been up to in the last week:
Hello all! Well, I guess I didn't quite last the whole month. I intended to, but after that Vday blog, I lost all my energy to continue. It put me in a funk, I think, which is hard to get out of. Plus, I learned that the girl I had feelings for is sleeping with someone else, so I had to try and get over it.
You've read the blogs, you've heard the fans cry out. Websites have posted their opinions and at times irked people with what is simply known as bait topics. But does The Legend of Zelda need change? It's a very hotly debated topic among fans. Some have felt the series has grown stagnate in it's 25 years of gaming relevancy. Sure Nintendo has made tremendous strides towards evolving the series. Each new game gives the fans something new...whether they like it or not. The series has done some things differently in recent titles whether it's the item upgrades in Skyward Sword or the item system in Link Between Worlds.
Welp, we got some US sales figures last night. Here's my take:
I started this month's BaD entries talking about the value of consoles, and what would convince me to buy the latest ones. In short, I'm not really up on buying any of them right now, either due to lack of games, pricing, or both. The handheld side, however, is another matter.
I am not a Zelda fan. Even in the early days, the series never really grabbed me. Oh, I played the original Legend of Zelda and its immediate sequels/prequels for the NES and SNES respectively. Other than that first game and Link’s Awakening on the Game Boy, the many entries in the franchise have never held me long enough to finish them. And I’ve tried. Oh, how I’ve tried! So based on what you’ve read, you would probably assume that I’m the worst person to review The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds on this website. Maybe you’re right, but I think I’m the best person to write this review because of my lukewarm reception to the series. So let’s move on and see who’s right, shall we?
Quick note: For some reason a few of my pics are sideways. I don't know why. Hopefully it will fix itself in time. Kind of like the pic sizes fixing themselves. Maybe I should just stop using photobucket. 
Here we are, Blog a Day 2014! I have a series of things to talk about, but for today it's a wrap up of last month. I'm at the mercy of tradition!
Hey there, folks. Julian here. So, I've been going through a lot of personal stuff for the past, oh, year or so, and it's starting to come to a head. What that means for you is we don't have a topic this week because I was too frazzled to come up with one. However, my pain may become your pleasure, because somehow we managed to have a two hour show with a ton of different little discussions that turned out pretty well.
Well, that came out of nowhere, LOL.
Voting is a funny thing. It’s hard to argue with addition, but there are plenty of instances where some of the staff thought a title or two got overlooked. Even though our GOTY 2013 article used some inarguable mathematics to come to the PixlBit staff’s consensus opinion, some of us thought there were games that should have gotten a few more votes. To highlight some of the games that each of us took a particular shine to in 2013, we present our staff’s personal picks that didn’t make the cut.
