Hey there! This is the craziest Nerds Without Pants EVER! We only got a handful of songs for Stage Select, so instead of talking about 7 or 8 songs and calling it a day we decided to create an entire two hour block of radio programming that approaches UHF levels of insanity. Yep, this is happening. Check it out!
At the beginning of every year I like to take a look at the games I’m looking forward to in the coming year and write about them. So that’s what we’re going to do here. Keep in mind that this list is by no means comprehensive, though. There will surely be games announced through the year that I will be interested in. And some of these games might be delayed, and there will be games I may not know about yet or have forgotten about. It’s hard to keep up with all the indie games I might want to play, for instance. But here’s my list anyway.
2020. Gosh. Remember when we looked forward to it, hopefully, being a good year? We had no idea. And while there were big profile delays and disappointments in the game space, there were still a ton of fun games to play. First we'll take a look at the games I beat and bought and then we'll move onto the Golden Hippo Awards!
Let's take a minute to go back in time to 1986. Nintendo was basking in the success of their NES console with hits like Super Mario Bros., Excitebike, and The Legend of Zelda. Meanwhile, Sega wanted to prove that the Master System was the better entertainment medium of choice. Attempting to go toe to toe with Mario, they created Alex Kidd in Miracle World. For Master System fans, the release of this game was a day to remember. According to them, it was the dawn of a new era. According to some, Mario had met his match, and Nintendo would soon crumble under Sega's mighty fist. But reality had other plans.
It is Friday which means I have some free time so after I type up this latest entry here in Pixlbitland I will read/reply to all you good people. I may also go find a higher quality terrible pizza to have for breakfast. Guess who bought a Pizza Crisper Pan? This guy! I may be moving up from terrible boxed cheese pizza to not so terrible bake at home cheese pizza for no meat Friday. More on my diet in a bit but first let’s get this week’s Quick Hits started.
Here it is, my continuation of the last blog detailing the games i've beaten so far in 2016. Unlike the eight game of last time, there'll be "only" five here. Now, without wasting much time:

Hey folks, got another batch of game reviews I’ve written lately over at GamerDad.com. Please click on the links and maybe even post a comment or two here or there, I’d really appreciate it. Also, pretty soon I’ll be heading out for PAX South again, so please keep me in your thoughts and prayers that I have a safe trip there and back. OK, on to the reviews!
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!
Yikes, 2015 is over already? As they say, time flies when you frantically play games between family, work, and other life obligations! (That is the saying, right?) First up are all the games I beat this year and then how many I bought or somehow acquired (don't worry, I don't list those specifically). Be sure to stick around for the Golden Hippo Awards after that!
Merry Christmas! It’s time for me to do what I always do on my blog this time of year: my Pretend Christmas Present Party! Here’s how it works. In the comments section, give me a pretend Christmas present. It can be anything you want! It’s the thought that counts…literally! And in return, I’ll reply with a pretend Christmas gift for you! It’s fun when it’s fun! And as a special Christmas bonus, I’ve got extra presents for all of you: more game reviews that I’ve written recently on GamerDad.com! Please read as many as you can and maybe even post a comment or two! I’d really appreciate it! I could certainly use some cheering up since I don’t have a job right now and this year kind of sucked at times.
Well, another E3 has come and gone. Now it’s time for me to complain about not being able to go to E3 AGAIN this year. But the games they showed at this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo were pretty neat, and still worth talking about, so here’s a blog all about that. Enjoy!
Good morning, Pixlbit Nation! Forgive the excessive mid-week cheeriness, it's my weekend.
Where does the time go?! There really aren't enough hours in the day for work and all my hobbies and interests. And there'll be less time this week than most. I'm headed to Kentucky early Friday morning for my nephew's graduation. We'll be coming back the next day, so quick trip, but it will be so worth it. Many of you former 1uppers have been reading about Bean's and my adventures for years, and now he's all grown up. Thursday I head to my sister's in NH, where I'll spend the night before heading to the airport in Boston in the early AM. On the way, I'm stopping at a friend's house to do some odd jobs for her that she isn't physically able to do (climb ladders and change lightbulbs, mostly) and also some mechanical stuff.
