Today was a very lazy day. I pretty much just laid in bed and watched youtube and played on my 2DS some. I got Links Awakening DX from the Club Nintendo rewards and started working on it. I also am gonna play some Fantasy Life since I haven't played it in a while. If you have a 2/3DS I highly recommend it. It's a fun rpg and it's not terribly long either. I got to start packing in the coming weeks. I'm excited but a lil sad to be leaving my hometown. It's a new adventure though so gonna make the best of it!
Pixlbit Nation, Happy Freaking Friday! It is a nice 70 degrees here in Sunny Southern California. I do miss the week of winter weather but it is nice to have the windows and doors open. As I type up the latest entry in the Quick Hits blogs I’m listening to the playlist that is full of the CDs I’ve been buying recently. It is an 800-track playlist, and currently I’m around 150 songs in. I’m listening to find tracks that I find catchy, that I’d like to listen to again. While syncing this playlist I found that iTunes needed to make room so it removed my Podcast playlist. That sucks but at the same time I have a ton of new content to listen to anyways if I want to achieve my goal of listening to everything in my iTunes library. Alright Pixlbit enough with the talk about what’s on the iPod, let’s get this Quick Hits Party Bus started!
So they are discontinuing club nintendo, there gonna replace it with a new program which they haven't given any details yet on. You earn coins up until March 31, 2015. They will still rewards for elite members but I believe it will be digital stuff like last year. They will have them up in April to choose from. They will be adding alot of rewards apparently in February for users to spend their coins.
Another year down! Which one was this? 2007? 12? Oh yeah, 2014. I still have a hard time believing it was 2014, let alone that it's over. But let's get on with this, shall we? First up are all the games I beat this year and then how many I bought or somehow acquired (don't worry, I don't list those specifically). Be sure to stick around for the Golden Hippo Awards after that!
After a brief run of demoliton/construction, it's back to plumbing! (Then back to some more construction before the cold gets too much even for me.)
Greetings and Happy Friday Pixlbiticans! The weekend is finally here (almost for some of you good people). Any fun weekend plans? The weather is supposed to be getting cooler but apparently the local weather thinks high 90s-low 100s is cool. Anyways while walking around the local swapmeet this song came on
So I've been eerily quiet in the months away. I think it's because I work 6 days a week for 12 hour days sometimes....nah...that's not it lol Anyways first I want to congratulate XDarthKillX...for the inquiry in getting a free club Nintendo gold game from me since I didn't have a use for it...hopefully it worked out for you.
Greetings good people of Pixlbitland! How was your weekend? For me the gaming stuff was really laid back. There wasn’t a lot of gaming especially on the consoles. I should take advantage of these lazy weekends because I have a crazy backlog that will be pushed back once Destiny rolls out (this is what happens when you reserve a game on a whim).
Pixlbit…What Is Up? It is Monday in a warm overcast Southern California, where there is Thunderstorms around the valley, which means it’s going to be a tad bit humid. Blah. Anyways so what is going on with you folks?
Okay so as you all know Club Nintendo had their platinum/gold rewards and I received Gold. However, none of the games they are offering interest me...or I have them on VC...and I don't have a 3DS...even if I had gotten platinum this year I already own Game & Wario, Earthbound, and the NES Remix.
Pixlbit Nation, how are you all doing? The past week has been an odd collection of weather as it’s been muggy and humid, to F’n hot, to breezy. A lot of thanking Air Conditioning for doing a good job has been going on. So how was this week? Hopefully you folks who had/are going through rough spots, keep positive and remember it’s just a rough spot.
So recently I was wrapping up playing Tomodachi Life on my 3DS. It’s a life sim game that lets you use your Mii characters. I started thinking about other Mii character specific games, and thought I’d write a blog that features them. Most of these Mii games are geared toward casual gamers, and while Nintendo has gotten quite a bit of criticism on that, I still think they’re fun. Now, there are many games that let you use Mii characters in titles like Mario Kart and Sonic & All-Stars Racing, but I’m focusing on just the games that only have Mii characters and nothing else. So let’s get started.
.... and they're all digital games. Don't rush on over. Looks like Club Nintendo is out right now.
Happy Friday Pixlbit! So how have you good folks been since our last post? I’ve been caught up in something different. I’ve started to get rid of stuff. Yes, while I was sorting and adding the new CDs to the library, I decided it was time to get rid of a bunch of stuff. I got rid of duplicates (around 20, who knew I had that many), weeded out some records that I lost interest in, got rid of a bunch of caps that I no longer wear, a ton of shirts from college dorm stuff, to everyday graphic tees, and I cleaned out the jerseys I don’t wear. Gone are some jerseys I’ve had for years, a couple of Chargers ones I got for cheap, and other random college team jerseys. At some point I will tackle my sports cards collection, and get rid of copies, and finally add the cards I bought from the thrift stores a year ago.
Well Happy July 4th Pixlbit. For you outside of the USA, celebrate anyways, it’s more fun that way. Eat something fried, topped with bacon, and play with fireworks. It is a hot and humid 101 degrees here in SoCal with some big clouds coming in. I don’t know if there might be rain, but I’m currently camped out inside with Mr. Air Conditioning. I was going to hit the mall but I got lazy so that’ll happen tomorrow. Since this is Friday it’s another edition of Quick Hits with Chris. So you good people sit back, click on a song and let’s celebrate!
Well hello good people of Pixlbit Nation! I hear that E3 is done, and I’ve checked out some blogs here about it. There are lots of interesting points of view, and I dig all the excitement surrounding your favorite titles. As for myself, I stuck with my usual “Let’s watch Sony” press conference and then I was good for the show. You’ll read about more of my thoughts later on, but since it is Friday, it is time for another edition of Quick Hits! For today I want to discuss my thoughts about the Sony Presser, some spoiler thoughts on tv shows Game of Thrones, Hells Kitchen, and The Challenge, as well as my usual pickups (hint I found a local spot that sells classic plastic). Sit back, enjoy and get ready for the weekend!
Hey folks, I’ve got a bunch of game review links again here in this blog that I’ve written lately. Please click on as many as you can and maybe even post a comment or two. I’d appreciate it. But first, in honor of the upcoming release of Tomodachi Life for 3DS, I thought I’d give you a preview glimpse of the game and what Mii Cary’s Tomodachi Life is like so far!
So I got Mario Kart 8 today and it was awesome, haven't tried the online yet but might in a bit. As you all know, when you register Mario Kart 8 at Club Nintendo, you get a free code for 4 games, they are New Super Mario Bros. U, Pikmin 3, The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD, and Wii Party U. The thing is, I have all of those games, well except Wii U Party or whatever, and rather than letting it go to waste, why not trade for it? I mean someone else will make better use of that code than me, so I'm looking for a trade.
Greetings good people of Pixlbit! Monday is here and that usually means
I started the day by watching The Wind Rises in the theater. I knew I was going to cry like a baby all throughout and, sure enough, I did. There were several other people there, so I had to contain it to a certain extent.
