A half-a-day left to game, but I had some time to write, and so here's what I've played so far. 

Ok so apparently I forgot to either upload my last blog post or I completely forgot to write one. I checked my folder and it turns out the one that I was typing up last week I either never saved or it got lost before I had a chance to upload it (I probably just forgot) anyways let’s catch up.

Good morning Pixlpeeps! It’s been a minute but I’m back, and how about that we get an extra day in February. Well it’s been a different couple of weeks where it’s either been cold and rainy, really warm, and now windy in Vegas, but either way I like it. I do wish we had more snow this year but I think that’s over now. Anyways let’s go into what I’ve been playing and what I finished.

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

Well Good Morning Pixlpeeps! I just finished breakfast and I thought I would update you all on the games I’ve been playing.

It's interesting that feeling when you go from a superficial experience to a deeper one. Suddenly things get more interesting and intense. I wouldn't say Power Wash Simulator gets much deeper but it does help with engagement when you can think about more things than just hosing down an object to wash it. 

On this episode of Nerds Without Pants it’s all about family, for reasons. Turns out there are some really interesting examples of family dynamics in video games, so this is a pretty good episode I think. Tell the people you love that you love them.

I’ve been doing a sort of buffet style gaming this past couple of weeks where I would pick and choose random games, play them, drop some, keep others and just got rid of others. Nothing too crazy but it is what it is.

Games of the Decade: Expansion Pass #2/Extra Blog a Day #29

Alright I have around 30 minutes to write, edit pictures, and upload before I have to go pick up a rental car, so let’s see how well I do. Good morning Pixlpeeps! It’s a warm day here in Sunny Southern California and I’ve been MIA for the week but that’s because I’ve been tinkering with Madden as well as searching for a particular toy. Let’s start with Madden

Hey, it’s another episode of Nerds Without Pants! It’s a pretty good one, I think. This post is lackluster at best because I got two hours of sleep last night, which is not even long enough to sleep through this episode. That makes sense, right? Cool.

Welcome back to a very different episode of Nerds Without Pants! Why different? Because this time we’re turning the camera onto our lovely listeners to learn how they have been coping during the Backstreet Boys Reunion Tour. We also get a lot of game talk in before having a Star Wars mirror match in the cage.

Good morning Pixlpeeps so this popped up in my Twitter timeline

You know some mornings if I listen closely I can hear the freeway which is a couple of miles away. This morning as I was walking around the backyard it was quiet. It’s odd but at the same time I’m happy that it is just quiet. Good morning Pixlpeeps let’s get started on what Chris has been playing this past week (I just want to finish typing this so I can jump into a fresh box of cereal.)

Ok so I am currently on my couch on a Monday night and I thought it would be a good time to type out my thoughts about what I have been playing this past week. I’ve spent some time with my new toy/emulator machine and I can give some thoughts about that. Let’s get started before the commercial ends and it’s back to me yelling out letters on Wheel Of Fortune.

Welcome to the 7th Annual Chris Goes Awards Show, but since it’s the end of a decade I’m going to skip some numbers (it worked for the iPhone, it’ll probably work here) and go for the my best of the decade. A little disclaimer here: I can’t remember what I played during the early part of the decade but there are games that stood out to me so I’m going to call them the Best of the Decade. Sound good? Let’s get started!

Mark and I are almost done a third playthrough of Borderlands 3, this time with Mayhem level 1 activated. Mayhem mode increases the difficulty, adds more badass enemies and gives you better loot. At this point, we're both using almost nothing but Legendary gear. It's still fun to find that slightly better weapon or shield. 

The first week of September 1999 was a busy week for Electronics Boutique, Software Etc, and all the other video game retailers at the time. You were in one of two lines, or perhaps both. One was for a new console, the Sega Dreamcast. The other line was for one of the most anticipated games of the year - Final Fantasy VIII. I was part of the latter group, excited for this game having played and replayed FFVII. 

I wish I could say I spent the majority of my weekend playing games that explore random galaxies, taking out the bad guy, racing, or at least driving around a copy of Los Angeles in the Batmobile listening to 90s Gangsta Rap (gotta love mods in GTA V) but instead I’ve been playing Gems of War. Yeah a match three game.

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.

So things here are getting back to normal. I’m back to a kind of regular sleep schedule, no longer couch surfing, and I may have finished a game I started awhile ago. I also said farewell to another game that I played for years and I felt it was time to stop and replaced it with a time waster that I stopped a couple of years ago just to pick it back up. Not a bad couple of days.
