I now have a 2 Terabyte Uncharted 4 PS4. It was dead simple to do. The backup took about 3 hours for close to 400 Gigabytes and the restore took about the same.

So, let's get my bellyaching out of the way: as of this posting, my custodial team and I are in the last week of stripping and waxing floors for 2 buildings of the school district where I work. The past month or so saw an uptake in work activity and the waxing has fallen mostly on my shoulders (long story, don't want to recount it here) so the nights have been longer and the majority of my time at home has been sleeping. I've fallen behind on housework, gaming gets regulated to the weekends, I haven't watched all the movies and tv shows that I've wanted to and honestly, I spend most of the time sleeping on my couch, falling asleep to Youtube videos (which has to be the new all-time low). 

In which Ratchet & Clank is enjoyed, Overwatch is acquired and boy, lots of books to read!

As I'm posting this, I recently finished up the recent Ratchet & Clank. I did unlock Challenge Mode but I'm going to send the rental copy because 1) hoping I can get Uncharted 4 or Doom next time, 2) someone else needs to play this fun-as-hell game, 3) I plan to buy R&C and when I do, I can launch into challenge mode. I finished the story with all gold bolts collected, a majority of holocards collected and the RYNO acquired at the end.

 Hi. I'm Blake. You know me, I'm that guy who used to post here who never does anymore because he's just the worst kind of person. A real shitlord if you ask me. Someone should totally massage his bollocks with honey and unleash the ants on that rectum enfused cunt.

Where it not for the occasional allergy attack which ruined my Saturday morning, the close to this past week wasn't that bad. Aside from the sleep patterns that get to get more crazier and unpredictable (some days I'll get a nice 7 hours, some days it'll be 4-5; I tend to take short naps at work - but not in any of the classroms, mind you. Wink), work is managable. It's also taken on a flavor of positivity as there is now 3 more school days until the year is concluded and next week, I'll transition to summer work and day hours. It'll be nice to have a schedule that's more normal.

Indiana Jones made by Steve the Pirate

Uncharted has always been all over the place in terms of quality. The first title is pretty mediocre despite fantastic production values. Meanwhile I consider Uncharted 2 to be one of the greatest video games ever made, a game which I replayed many times and love every second of. Then the PS3 trilogy ended with Drake’s Deception, which offered a fantastic first half and a very inconsistent second half. So it feels fitting that Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End overall ends up as a perfectly satisfactory game. A game with its moments of brilliance, yet never quite manages to bring the product as a whole up in the end.

 So Uncharted 4 came out today. I can't afford it since I have like 12 bucks in my bank account until next week (yay car registration) so I'll have to wait a bit.

The Division! GoTY?

I am pulling for The Division to get GoTY. I also hope Uncharted 4 is in the running. My friend and I were in the Dark Zone the other night and we saw enimies just appear out of thin air, lol. He said "you see that shit"?, lol. This game is one of the best games I have played in a while. If you have played it let me know what you think.

 Part 2 of my list kicks off now. Or Now. Or in 10 minutes. It really all depends on how fast you read this. Or if you read this at all. If you pace it right, it could take you a decade. A whole decade trapped in my words. That sounds positively delightful, does it not?

What are your most anticipated games of 2016?

Hey everyone! Since I have more time on my hands, I want to be more involved in writing on here and really connecting with you ladies and gentlemen. When I first started on Pixlbit, I was a newcomer into writing about video games, media, and anything geek related. And you all welcomed me with open arms and always gave me positive and helpful feedback and I'm grateful for that!

As 2016 is here, our staff looks back to our favorite games of 2015. WAY back!

2015 was an interesting year for gaming, the year the 8th console generation started to push out the 7th gen, where almost every game was coming onto one of the newer consoles and last gen ports becoming fewer and farther between. Yet when looking at the games everyone else was voting for each year, we noticed something. The real best games released received very few, if any, awards from other outlets. So we at Pixlbit decided to give the actual best games to come out this year their own commendation! So if you missed any of these this year, be sure to check them out and see what you missed out on!

Got a PS4!

I finally bought a PS4. I mostly bought it because I wanted a second Blu-ray player, as I have yet to actually play a game on it! There are loads of great exclusives coming out next year but right now there are no games I want to play for it.

I have begun to embrace digital distribution.  It first started with the Vita and 3DS and came from a place of practicality.  I take my handhelds on vacations and trips all the time.  I hate the idea of losing any of my games because the cartridges are so dang small.  So I have been downloading more and more handheld games over the past few years.
