It helps having the extra time to prepare and despite not getting as much done in class as I wanted to, it went much more smoothly. Tech issues were to blame, not my preparation.

2005. Can you believe right now it's the 10th anniversary of the Xbox 360? I remember getting that system like it was yesterday. 2005 is an interesting year because, for me, I was still playing my original Xbox and there were a load of great games for it . Why is it always the last year of system is its best? Anyway, here's an all-media look at my 2005.

I'll answer myself. I was basically where I am now, mostly nowhere, but I did enjoy the odd piece of media entertainment. So let's take a look at that.

Good morning Pixlbiticans, and how are you good folks/little green men in outer space doing this morning? For those of you wondering it is a nice 70 degrees here in Sunny California, but we are expecting some rain this week so I need to get all my running around out of my system before then (So Cal drivers have no idea to handle sprinkles and people become crazy.) Anyways how was your weekend? Did any of you good folks decide to hit Record Store Day? I decided against going the morning of because the records I wanted weren’t worth the trip, but there was one I album I forgot to mention that would have been and that was the Lego Movie Soundtrack. Yep I thought about it, but in the end I wasn’t going to open it, and having it because it was tied into Lego wasn’t a good enough reason to make the trip to the mom & pop. I might go later on this week and most likely there will be some left over RSD like last year when I bought a bunch of 45’s that were on sale. While getting my pictures ready for this blog I noticed that my iPhoto account needs to be cleaned out because there are a bunch of screen shots of various games that are just taking up space. I’ll have to do this later on this week. Anyways I really should get started because I just got another project that needs to be started.

I miss you guys!

Hey all, it's been quite a while since I've had something posted up on here - aside from the feature in the "Why we game" article that went up a little while back. Things have been so much more hectic than I anticipated. Having a full time job is definitely that - full time. Its been a challenge getting to anything personal, especially games which hurts because thats my prime hobby, as we know.

Published on March 1, 2015 6:36 PM - 6 minute read

Earthworm Jim 3D is the third and final game in the series, and also the first to feature 3D gameplay, which gives the title a sort of double meaning. Bringing the series' trademark wackiness and irreverence to the third dimension, the game stars Jim's super-ego as he takes a trip through the crazy worlds of his own twisted mind. Although it lacks the polish of a Nintendo-published platformer, it still contains a decent amount of variety and somewhat interesting design.

Yesterday I went over my original X-Box games and it make sense to continue with Microsoft for today’s edition of Blog A Day, so welcome to my 360 Library. Where are my manners? Hello Pixlbit how is your Thursday treating you? I have to say so far my Thursday is going well. I took in the new episode of Arrow last night and this was the first time I actually watched an episode as it aired. Before that it was all Netflix and CW App. The one disappointment I do have is that my cable doesn’t offer the CW in HD. Blah! Anyways enough of my show based loosely based off a comic, it’s not Quick Hits so it’s all video games! Let’s get started with my 360 library.

Willkommen flatlanders! Some days of the week I wear a collared shirt, but it annoys me to tuck it in. So I don’t, but I imagine people are thinking I am a slob. So I thought I’d compromise and go Nathan Drake on it and do the half-tuck. But, I’m not sure how that works. So let’s take look at that.

The staff of PixlBit commemorates five years of the site.

It’s absolutely dumbfounding to think that PixlBit has existed in this world for five years now. I can’t even begin to tell you all how many times Chessa and I considered hanging it up and just moving on with life. But we never did and I’m not sure why that is. The early days were grim at times; visitation was extremely low, the hours invested were high, and my day job was absolutely soul crushing. I guess we always felt there was a light at the end of the tunnel – a point at which it would all pay off. And boy has it.

and boy oh boy am I glad I'm done.  LA Noire's not a bad game....but I can easily say that it's not a good game either.  Just about everything else with Rockstar's logo on it that I've ever played has been better.

it's almost 3 a.m. PST.  I've been having a hell of a time trying to keep a regular sleep schedule lately; mostly since I've been injured and healing I've been up all night and sleep well into the afternoon.  I'm going to go with it a couple more nights and then try to stay up the necessary hours to get myself back to rights.

GTA V's Attitude Towards Authority

Editorial
Published on January 17, 2014 4:48 AM - 4 minute read

I'm liking GTA V. I really am. I was beyond skeptical on it after I really disliked 4, but Rockstar actually addressed my biggest issues with that game and gave a sandbox with the same details and polish I'd expect from a more linear game. But it definitely is a game of highs and lows. Dicking around the sandbox is fun, yoga not so much. Driving at really fast speeds feels great, driving a tow truck is boring. But the thing bothering me most about this game isn't anything gameplay related, it's the attitude towards cops and military as enemies.
