This was another week in Gen 2, tunes on Xbox, a new process to include current games, and I solved my rewards problem.
It’s raining, I just finished my sixth book of 2024 Reading Challenge on Goodreads, and I am ready to throw down my random thoughts about whatever I played this past week and a half…GOOD MORNING PIXLPEEPS! Alright let’s see what I remember playing
2021 was just another year of the expected high sellers: COD, Pokemon, Mario, sports games and mobile game billion sellers. 52% of the market went to mobile. Interesting. Here's what interested me and my one pick if I could only pick one.
A dozen games as if I played one a month that year. What would I play now? I thought I'd share the list and make a few comments.
Nerds Without Pants is back a wee bit late with some of the biggest news of the year. What a whopper! Can you tell I don’t remember what we talked about? Shh! It’s a secret to everybody.
This site is starting to misfunction [not really, just me hitting wrong keys]. I just lost my blog for an unknown reason. That's about it for me. Can't take the lost time. So here's a list of what I just played. Don't think I'll continue. I started a Reddit account and will be commenting there as aiwithwarpdrive. (can't copy most images either. It's a waste of time to screen shot them and bounce them to my Onedrive just to share).
Looks like I'll be watching Phillies baseball next week too as they move on the NL championships. It's usually after video game time though, so I'll still have a report to make. Here's this week's by hours played as far as I can estimate since I didn't take exact notes.
What if I could return to 2012 and do it all over again? What one game would I buy each month of the year? Here's what I came up with.
I rediscovered the really great 1992 X-Men: The Animated Series. The theme music is always close at hand in my mind, and I always imagined it was from a 70s era X-Men show, a time I would've watched it as a kid, but, I think, I was watching Super Friends then and not X-Men. I guess my friend Mad Krammer and I were watching X-Men in the 90s. Well, we watched it again and it's really great. Good writing, excellent animation, nothing to complain about at all. Oh, and then there's the gaming I did this week.
Watched this 1983 one season bomb of a show called Wizards and Warriors and played a bunch of retro games and a few more modern ones.
Quite a few actually in the last month or so. I had some rewards money from Microsoft, and I'm working on a new game plan and needed some games to make it work.
All done with Halo Infinite. I wasn't too thrilled with returning to Ratchet & Clank for some reason, and so I started clicking the "surprise me" button within the sort drop-down menu in my digital library on Xbox. Here was the result.
First up, a flyby of my very modest tiny Xmas train set, then a neat VG relate gift I saw at Barnes & Noble, and then a little personal gaming news.
I'll relate some recent plays and then get on to my current sickness, High on Life, where I took a bunch of screen shots.
I finished with Fire Emblem: Awakening and Disney Infinity. I started free-2-play game Starlit Adventures on a random roll of the dice. I rage-quit Forza Horison 5 and for relief played Microsoft Solitaire Collection and watched a ton of youtube. Sometimes, I get a bit tired of losing at games.
I found a few more VG ads in the third Batman Gotham Knights comic I got. This comic is from the year 2000 and seems to have liltle to do with the upcoming video game of the same name. It was a good read though.
I read part two of the new Bloodborne Lady of the Lanterns comic, played several board games, bought some stuff at the convention I went to, and played a bunch of stuff I'll probably save for another time because this blog is already going to be longish.
Mark and I knocked another board game off the list by playing Backgammon. Then I played my new Genesis games and finally got back to my XSX games.
What goes better with gaming than junk food that makes you giddy like 5 year olds on, well, Ding Dongs and Funnybones. Yeah, it's unhealthy, but it's only 1. . . ok 2. . . fine! 3 days a week. How else am I going to get through hours and hours of Halo mulitplayer. Ok, I don't play Halo multiplayer, but hours and hours of multiplayer Forza Horizon 5. Anyway, I bought some stuff for my retro gaming and played some more board games.
Yes they do. I know by experience because Halloween cereals have just arrived in stores. This one's based on Captain Crunch, which, by the way, is also my nickname at game time.
I played Switch, X360 and XSX systems. I'd like to make that Switch, PS4, XSX sometime. I always wanted to get to all three major systems during play sessions.
