Good morning Pixlpeeps! I am currently on my second little pack of Pringles as my healthy breakfast. I’ve been eating a lot of potato chips for over the past week because last week was the first time that potatoes have tasted normal to me since before I got sick in December. Anyways it is Monday and I’ve been trying to keep with my regular schedule (or close to it) here is what I’ve been playing.
Well hello Pixlpeeps, long time no type. After BaD I decided that it would be good to take a week to not write anything because 1.) I wanted a little break and 2.) I really didn’t have much to write about. During this time I started to cross off another goal for 2018 and I made my way back to the gym. Oh it feels good to spend time on the treadmill zoning out to whatever is on the phone, or watching video on my tablet. It feels good to wake up and head straight to the gym in the morning instead of watching the $25,000 Pyramid until the alarm goes off. Anyways more on this on Friday. Today is about what I’ve been playing and I have to say there hasn’t been much but I did knock one game off of Mount Backlog which is always good.
So 2016 is here and while its looking at the moment to be another promising year 2015 did do well in itself. I think Next Gen did pick up and is finally making good track speed. I also even think the Wii U has done the best by far in itself. If you didnt buy one, then you missed out on some good games. This is my Top 10 list of games released this year.
One problem I have noticed with reviewing games is that you sometimes have to put a lot of filler into what you write. Some games it just flows naturally, The Last of Us and Saints Row 4 I had to cut myself really short for instance. But established series like Mario Kart which always refine and polish what you previously have? There's not that much to talk about. So I'm going to put the meat and potatoes, here's five ways 8 improves on the MK formula.
This is what I'll be talking about. I thought about taking the debate to Kat Bailey herself but in the end I do not have the heart to direct anger at someone I knew at 1up who wrote blogs about rpgs I really enjoyed.
2013 was a strange year for myself. I didn't play as many video games as I usually do, but I still managed to get through quite a few. It was a year full of change, uncertainty, and life adaptation, so video games often took a back seat to myself trying to figure life out. That has nothing really to do with games, but I feel that maybe my life state effects my game choices as well.
So I finally got Saints Row 4. Fuck Australia, seriously. Anyway, here are some opinions. Enjoy!
So I was over the whole censorship thing. One mission taken out? Who the fuck cares. I was about to buy the game on steam. Nope... have to wait until SEPTEMBER FUCKING 12TH! Why? Who the fuck knows? I know one thing is for certain - NO PC GAMER IN AUSTRALIA WILL BUY THIS FUCKING GAME! One thing about PC gamers: They don't like being fucked over. Expect the piracy rates for this game to go through the roof!
Hey guys! If you know me, you know I like metal, and since Saints Row IV has NO FUCKING METAL IN IT, I thought I'd compose my list of top 10 metal albums. Seriously, fuck Saints Row 4. No Opeth, no Deftones or Dream Theater, all we get is a shitty fucking In Flames track from one of the shittiest fucking In Flames albums. Someone mod a metal station in! Anyway, as a fuck you to those assholes, here are my top 10 favourite metal albums. Because hey, why not?

First off, let me just say how insane 2013 looks. This is one of the craziest Falls I have seen in a long time, for me at least. So I thought I'd put the games that look at least good enough to pick up around day one for now for the rest of the year.
August is gonna be a crazy month for game releases. Its like lets end summer with a bang in video games!!!! Well even though there are several Id like to pick up Im sadly gonna have to make scarficies. While I dont have to save up the entire ammount for the PS4 in August I need to start saving up for it and atleast have 200 something saved up by the end of the month so that the last bit which will prolly be around 245 can be saved up between September and October. I preordered it off Amazon so I cant put money down on it like someone who preordered at Gamestop. I get paid 3 times in August so that will be achieveable since I can separete bills in 3 ways and save any spare cash up. The games I am for sure getting in August are Dragons Crown and Final Fantasy 14: Realm Reborn. I wanted to get Tales of Xillia, Killer is Dead, The Bureau: Xcom Declassified, and Saints Row 4. I most likely will have to wait though until I know its okay to spend spare cash on them. What are your current buys for August or are you staying away from buying any new games?
Ah Pixlbit. I know you're like the new 1up now, but could you not copy it's technical issues? I mean when I write up a lengthy post, I don't want it to be deleted when I post it. Unless I'm being censored. I mean, I made some fairly offensive jokes in there, one of which I regretted in hindsight, and it did say that Saints Row 3 was a essentially a worthless piece of shit, which isn't true. So, I guess a rewrite is in order. (BTW Pixlbit is awesome and you guys should keep up the great work!)
Seeing as how I may be a weird and pick Mass Effect 3 Citadel for my GOTY pick (though can definitely not say for sure with how amazing Last of Us, Destiny, Saints Row 4, and Pokemon X/Y look) and got both Fallout games' GOTY/Deluxe editions as a cheaper way to get their DLC, I thought about all the different kinds of DLC that we encounter nowadays. Personally, I think DLC is an amazing thing we have, the problem is that even by Sturgeon's Law standards (for those of you unaware, 90% of everything is crap) way too much of it is bullshit.
As some may know that when THQ shut down that Koch Media/Deep Silver bought the rights to Volition which included Saints Row series. I at first thought all my series were dead but KM plans to release a SR4. I wont lie, Im not too thrilled. SR3 was a good game to play and to have a crazy time with but I at the same time lost a lil bit of my fan faith to the series itself.
THQ has been in the news a lot lately, due to its financial woes that have caused the company to completely restructure. This has resulted in everything from massive layoffs to the selling off of game properties such as the UFC license to EA and Devil’s Third by Tomonobu Itagaki’s Valhalla Studios. Well, that restructuring continues, as we’ve learned of a few more developments in the ongoing saga of this long-suffering publisher.
Next week sees the release of Saints Row: The Third, the crazy sandbox organized crime game that filled in the void left by Grand Theft Auto when Rockstar decided to go in a more mature and socially relevant route with GTA IV. It’s no surprise that the series has done well and THQ and the crew expects that this will be the biggest Saints Row yet. They have so much faith, in fact, that THQ’s own Danny Bilson has revealed that a fourth entry in the series is already in the works.
