Ohai! This werk on the Nerds Without Pants Borkcast we have a heckin’ gud tym giving treats to the goodest bois, the bestest puppers, and the frendist doggos. Then we get sum chikem nuggs.
Did anyone else try and get a freebie copy of Watch Dogs 2 yesterday from Ubisoft? The only catch was to watch a minute of their presentation (man this screams Timeshare scam) and then you get the freebies? Well just like everyone else on Twitter, I did and I couldn’t log in because they had problems, and I figured it wasn’t worth the effort for a $10 game on Steam. Good guy Ubisoft (you rarely hear that) had a promotion where all you had to do was register after the presentation and they would just give you the game. There were some problems with that but earlier this morning I looked at the Ubisoft version of Steam and there it was. Cool deal.
2016 sucked for me. Not because a bunch of celebrities bit the dust or our politics got even more polarized, though that didn't help, but for extremely personal reasons I won't go into.
I... didn't get a new Bicycle. I just have the the Queen song stuck in my head.
So I'm working on a review of the movie Martyrs, that is, right after I recover from having watched the movie Martyrs. After watching such a hellish film, I needed to recover and have some joy in my life, so I thought I'd make a blog about my cat.
I know this isn't breaking news—the story I first saw was posted January 30—but the Deus Ex franchise has apparently been put on hiatus after Mankind Divided failed to meet sales expectations. As a big fan of the series that waited five painstaking years for this sequel, this news is crushing, especially considering how Mankind Divided left the story just hanging there. What if we have to wait another five years? WHAT IF WE NEVER GET ANOTHER? I am very frustrated. And so they can work on Guardians of the Galaxy? *grumble grumble*
Grabbed this from PC Gamer site. E3 starts Sunday afternoon with EA then later Bethesda, MS/Sony Monday, Square Enix Tues.
My wife and I go to yard sales every Saturday. Im always on the look out for games and books. One day I hit the jackpot and found a ton of games at one sale. However I only had $20.00 But I did end up buying about 12 games. Playstation 2 games.
This is definitely the latest I've ever posted one of these recaps. I had the one-two punch moving last week, not having internet, and then heading straight back to work. (I guess that's three punches lol.) The new apartment is great but we still have stuff everywhere. But that's not what I'm here to talk about, so let's get to it!
Happy Wednesday Pixlbit Nation! I am jazzed because hopefully later on today I am hitting the mid week Swapmeet. Yes the fun and excitement of looking through a bunch of junk and hopefully finding something interesting, and cheap. I hope fake Lego lady has some new stuff, the lady that sells video games has a Gamecube memory card, and any randoms selling Lego will have actual Lego for decent prices. Since I haven’t taken pictures of my original Playstation library I will go with my smallest Sony library and that is for the PS4.
Truth be told, I don't really like writing this kinds of year in review type of blogs. They take a lot of thought and sometime I just get kind of nervous thinking about it. Which was one of the reasons why I didn't do one last year. Plus I'm kind of busy with work and most of the time its just pure laziness. Not to mention there is just a whole lot of games that come out late in the year, not to mentions games I've finally gotten around to playing from previous years. Speaking of games of previous years, that's probably were I'm going to start.
It’s an episode of Nerds Without Pants 8 months in the making! Watch Dogs is the impetus for this very thoughtful discussion about our addiction to technology, the insidious way that we are expected to share everything about our lives, the intrusive NSA, and more. But first, Consumption Junction!
The reason why I have emphasised mod is because it implies that a modder added textures or tweeks to a game. TheWorse just unlocked hidden files from PC version of Watch Dogs and enabled them for anybody that would like to use them. Granted they have the processing power to get those graphics seen two years ago at E3. With SweetFX, it changes the shading quality of the game and from my experience does make the game look nicer.
It sucks that there some soundtracks in the videogame community that are really hard to aquire. Sometimes you're luck, its finally available in your country's iTunes store, or its available on amazon most likely. Sometimes Youtube is there to help you out, that is until gaming companies files cease and desist orders on the person's Youtube account. Anyways, here are some videogame music pieces that I've been enjoy lately.
Well I've been failing miserible at updating this blog; there are a lot of things to talk about including this year's E3. First off, I'm currently looking for another job; it was nice working close to home but I wasn't getting my rate of pay and they didn't provide travel pay either. It was would have been nice to get one out of the two but that wasn't going to happen anytime soon. Epecially now that I find myself with vehicle payments and was buying my own lunch. I've been thinking about going back to another camp job; at least I won't be spending money on food.
Up until the PS2 days, buying games at retail was a pretty straightforward process. Most games were "what you see is what you get" affairs, where the game you picked up in the store that day was a locked-in, static product for the entire time you spent with it. Now? Not so much.
Come look into our crystal balls as we attempt to look into the future and predict E3. No, wait, come back! I promise you that this is an entertaining pre-E3 edition of Nerds Without Pants. We decided to dream up some wild (but plausible) wishes for the Big Three, and then do a reality check and talk about what we think will actually happen. Before that, Consumption Junction!
Hello Pixlbit! Hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend. It's been a while since I posted something on here. I just came back from vacation. Went to visit some family from The Bay and just drove around the city. Anyways, as many of you know Watch Dogs released today! I've been excited about this game since the announcement. I was bummed out when they first delayed it and continued to delay it. Now it's here! To tell you the truth, the game is great but all the hype that everyone gives it doesn't do it justice. Don't get me wrong, I love free roam adventure games but this game is just a modern free roam with hacking abilities. That's just my little input on it though. Don't let my judgement cloud your thought of buying it. I'm still enjoying it and there's just so much to do. Maybe I'm saying all this now because I haven't even completed the first chapter and I've put in around 3 hours already. So there's so much to do around the city.
