¡Hola Pixlpeeps! Sorry I haven’t been around in a bit but things fell into my lap that needed to be dealt with. You don’t need to hear the details but we all have issues that need to get resolved and I’m no different but here we are so let’s get positive and talk about game stuff.

Most of the previous Atari collections out there had just arcade games and 2600 games.  So it’s kind of a big deal that this one includes 5200 games as well.  I was especially excited when I found out about this, because technically, the 5200 was my first gaming console.  So let’s take a look at the 5200 games on this collection!

For Christmas I got the Atari Flashback Classics Vol. 3 game for PS4.  I love classic game collections and writing about them, so for the next while we’ll going to take a look at the games on this compilation.  There are so many though that we’ll do it in three parts.  The first part we will take a look at the arcade games on here.

Well good morning Pixlpeeps! So this week I for BaD I thought it would be fun to cover my favorite cover songs and I started with this one

I played the latest installment of the Carnival Games series today. It’s a sound game for what it is, which is a very casual, fun experience.

It is almost the end of January which means BaD is coming back and to be honest I have no idea what I am going to write about. I thought about just posting random pictures and have you good people of Pixlbit think there’s some kind of connection but really it was just me posting random pictures. As funny as I think that would be I won’t do it, and I’ll probably do something else. Anyways we’ll worry about that February 1^st. Ok so I’ve actually been gaming a bit the past couple of weeks, especially after I had a dream where I used my 3DS as a basketball and broke it. Odd but I blame it on the cough drops. Like I said on Friday I had some stuff come up so I didn’t upload my blog then but I will give a quick run down of what I played, and what I played after that, so I do kind of have a plan. Let’s get started!

Ready for Xmas? This collection was sort of my gift to myself this year. There are 15 5200 games total. I played all but the 2-player ones. The following five I have something to say about.

Well hello Pixlpeeps, and welcome to the Sixth Annual Chris Goes All Awards Show. Yes once again I look back at what I played in 2018, pick some games that I feel are my standouts. They might not be new, they might not be Triple A Titles, but they are games I played and enjoyed. This year there are five categories and my game of the year. Let’s get started!

Well good morning Pixlpeeps! This is currently the third version of this entry because each of the previous two times I’ve tried to write this, I get to the end and I either lose interest or I didn’t like it, so here we are. It is a really nice 64° degrees outside so I took the travel laptop outside

So here we are on Wednesday and I have to admit it is really freaking nice outside right now. Yesterday the windows were all open up until around 3-4pm when it started to get a little warm but damn I am excited for the change in the weather. Good morning Pixlpeeps! I was going to post what I wrote on my iPad on Monday but it was a holiday so I was being all lazy, and then I figured why not just rewrite what I wrote but take out some of the excess so here we are, with another Combo Blog!

So last week I found out that the neighborhood is having another neighborhood garage sale and I wanted to participate by selling off my records. Then I figured why stop there so I went into the games closet and picked out games that I really don’t want anymore. Everything from NES all the way up to the current PS4. I couldn’t part with my Vita games because I really don’t have a lot to begin with and I kind of like them. So on the weekend I set out to go through the collection and pull games. Overall I think I trimmed about 50% of the collection and I’m feeling good.

Good morning and Happy Monday to you good people. It is a windy morning here in Southern California and the streets are full of RV’s leaving the area because the last music festival of the year is over and this is when everyone is headed back to reality, and I avoid the streets as much as possible. Of course I also have to run errands but I am holding back on those for later. So today I thought it would be fun to do a combo Gaming on the Cheap/Quick Hits because I didn’t get around to it last week because I got caught up in the NFL Draft. I watch the dang thing every single year, and this year is no different, except at times I played some NCAA Football and had the draft going on my phone. Anyways let’s get started!

Earlier this morning I was supposed to go to the dealership to get the oil on the truck changed. Instead I moved it back a bit because I may have woken up a tad bit late due to watching not only the West Coast late airing of Billions (best show on Showtime) but watching the end of Fast and Furious (F&F 4) on another Showtime but then finding the original F&F was on yet another Showtime channel, probably their action one. Instead here we are, not at the dealership or at my usual spot, on a treadmill complaining about weird guy who dipped himself in Axe Body spray, I am here in front of a laptop typing out my thoughts for games I played this past week including one game I finished.

*I tried to upload this earlier but Flickr wasn’t working.

I will admit to consulting a guide on Clossus #3 in Shadow of the Colossus. This one I felt kinda bad about, because the answer was fairly obvious, but I got tired of the hints constantly saying to knock off the guy's armor and me saying, "I GOT IT! I HEARD YOU! I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW I DO THAT!" I learned later you can shut those hints off, which, thank God. 

I'm honestly a little upset I didn't get one in 2014. I just would have liked to have a Playstation FOUR in Twenty-FOURteen. Oh well.

It’s still early here in Southern California (almost 7pm) so technically I still have time for Day 5 of BaD! For today’s Other Stuff Chris Collects I thought I would talk about one of the first things I got into: buying baseball caps. Now I have pictures of me in Dodgers gear but I like to blame my parents and other family who probably got this stuff for me when I was a baby but around middle school I started looking at baseball caps and I wanted to buy one, but I couldn’t make up my mind on which cap I wanted to get. So during my 8^th grade year right before I went on the class graduation trip to Disneyland my mom took me and my little brother to the Foot Locker and I got my first cap, an adjustable Olive Green Air Jordan Cap with the logo and wordmark in black

First of all, I grew up in Delaware and became an Eagles fan, but the last time they went to the superbowl I lived in Philly and it was an amazing experience to see the city come together. In fact, I went to a Sixers game the day of the Super Bowl and the fans were chanting "E-A-G-L-E-S" during the basketball game. Kinda fucked up, but a lot of fun. Then the night of the game, the Eagles lost and it was a big let down. It was a tight game but McNabb just couldn't cut it. I'm very glad now that the Eagles got their Super Bowl, but I didn't always give in to hope that it would happen. Now that it has, I feel relief and joy. Anyway, on to games...

So here we are, day 2 of BaD and after thinking about what I am going to do, I think I am ready for the rest of this fun time we’re going to have. I might be late on some days but other than that I think it’ll be fun and I can’t wait to read what everyone else is doing. Since today is Friday I am going to celebrate Quick Hits, oh apparently Phil saw his shadow so more winter. Of course here in my little piece of Southern California, the weather has been more Spring than Winter, and the local “zoo” (it’s more of a wild animal park) has a tortoise who says Spring will be here early. Which random animal to believe? I do find it funny that the folks that do the weather on TV love this stuff when it seems like we’re making fun their profession because we’re having animals predict the weather. Anyways let’s get started!

Hello Pixlpeeps and welcome to the Fifth Annual Chris Goes All Awards Show. This is the blog where I look back at the games I’ve played this past year, find the ones that were my favorites among the consoles and handhelds I own and then ramble about them culminating in the one game I call my Game of the Year.

ARMS is Nintendo’s newest fighting game on Switch.  Originally I wasn’t going to get this game for a while, but I found a sale where it was ten dollars off.  Doesn’t sound like much, but considering Nintendo’s first party games hardly ever go on sale, I decided to take the plunge.  ARMS has a lot of interesting fighters, so I’ll do what I usually like to do with these kinds of games.  Here’s a blog about each of the ARMS fighters!  Nintendo has said that more will show up as DLC, so I also posted my own ideas for original fighters and existing characters, too!
