I tried to beat some of Rangergirl's scores in Pinball FX3, built the portal for Lego Dimensions and played it, and finished the campaign in Gears of War 4.
Today I tried to do maintenance on my PS2 Slim, play Back to the Future: The Video Game and Patapon Remastered, and watch Tom Baker era Doctor Who. Three of those ended in complete frustration.
Happy Easter everybody! Easter is one of my favorite holidays. As a Christian, I appreciate the religious aspects, but I also think the secular stuff is a lot of fun, too. I enjoy decorating Easter eggs and all the bright pastel colors and Easter has some of the best candy out of any holiday (and this is coming from someone who usually doesn’t like candy). So I’ve got some Easter treats for all of you! New game reviews I’ve written recently over at GamerDad! Yay! Please click on as many links as you can and maybe even post a comment or two. I’d appreciate it! OK let’s begin!
Don't know about the quality but I know there are some of you who might be interested,
I had something gaming to write about today, but then I remembered what day it is. I’m losing time lately. Not in a blacking out kind of a way, but in a days running together kind of way.
Welcome to a weird episode of Nerds Without Pants! Due to scheduling issues, this episode was recorded a week before E3 2016, but you are listening to it after that event has taken place. Don’t think about it too hard; time is wibbly-wobbly, as the Doctor would say.
Recently I played and beat the new holiday title, LEGO Dimensions. I was impressed with some of the worlds you explore and licenses used, so I decided I’d write a blog about it. In short, LEGO Dimensions is essentially Skylanders with LEGOs. You buy and build LEGO figures and vehicles, and then put them on a special pedestal so you can play as them in the game. Unlike Disney Infinity, any character and vehicle can go into any world at any time. That’s one thing that Skylanders and LEGO Dimensions does right. Half the fun was seeing all the worlds you could go into, and what surprises you’d find. In fact, brother Jeff (who I always play LEGO games with), described the game as ‘LEGO Kingdom Hearts’ and I like how he put that. So let’s dive into the portal and see what we can see!
This is actually the Year of the Goat starting in February, according to the Chinese Zodiac, but for me, it’s the Year of the Dragon because I’m reading a Dragon Magazine of the current month every month of 2015 and writing about anything of interest. So starting things off is Dragon 81 from January 1984.
I could sit here and talk on and on and on about how much I love Big Finish productions. I don't really have the time or patience at the moment, so I will leave you a link. If you consider yourself a fan of Doctor Who, I recommend spending the $15 on the bundle.
I think I'm making up for all that lost time over the summer...
This was all but inevitable. With the release of new hardware, the PS4, it was only a matter of time that content and support for last generation systems would come to pass. And it looks like one of the first items to be cut will be Sony’s attempt to create a 3D gaming hub world on the PS3. Back in August Sony announced that they were shutting down Playstation Home in Japan. Though there was no word if the US or EU servers were to suffer the same fate as Japan’s, word came out later last month that they too would be shutting down on March 31st 2015. Sony plans to launch a large scale event to thank all the dedicated users of the service but plans were not forthcoming on exactly what was to take place.
I don't really have much new going on around here. The biggest thing to note is that our trip to Japan starts in a couple of weeks...
Well, I finished up Alundra and then jumped right into FF X. I do want to play FF X, but I think that I need a palate cleanser between games of a similar style and length.
I am not quite done with Alundra. I can see the end, it is just out of my reach. I am on the final dungeon and while I have yet to finish it completely, I have come away with some thoughts. I suppose that some of them have already been voiced in the BA podcast, but I have yet to listen to that so bear with me.
They said that Titanfall would become a system seller. Well, it is out and I still don't want an Xbox One. So, I have decided to come up with a list of things that I would rather spend the $560 that it would cost to get Titanfall and an Xbox One.
It’s Friday again folks so let’s bring on the cheer, drink a beer and eat something unhealthy!
