A launch sequence ensues, Thunderbirds style. 

So for March I have console Generation 3 as the time period (NES, SMS, Arcades, Atari 8bit, C64, Amiga, Apple II and such - you know, second half of the 80s). To limit the choices, I thought about what genres were interesting at that time to me and Beat 'em Ups came up first but more specifically Hack 'n' Slash games are really my more focused favorite. Also a limit of 20 games, although, I did make a much bigger list in case I run out. Let's get into it. 

My game session was interupted by a car repair and now a rain storm keeping me in the library for a while. I don't mind though because the library is my favorite place. So, anyway, I've changed up my gaming plan to simplify it all and started playing a few new and old things. 

Well good morning and long time no talk. Since the last time I posted here I’ve had some changes in life. The last time I wrote a blog here was a couple of years ago? No idea why I stopped but I did, anyways I am back so let’s do a little catching up

Hey there! This is the craziest Nerds Without Pants EVER! We only got a handful of songs for Stage Select, so instead of talking about 7 or 8 songs and calling it a day we decided to create an entire two hour block of radio programming that approaches UHF levels of insanity. Yep, this is happening. Check it out!

Well hello there! I don’t like to toot our own horn too often, but this may be the best episode of Nerds Without Pants of the year. Is Stage Select a banger? Not even close. Is Video Game Cage Match one for the record books? Fraid not. But Consumption Junction is a blast, and hopefully you think so, too!

I have a new job starting in a week and I may be working weekends, so I don't know when I'll be gaming after this weekend. Maybe not at all, but probably sometime. Today I mainly played Forza Horizon 5 and Dicey Dungeons but a few others passed by. 

I reinstalled Microsoft Solitare on my phone and got an ad for their Mahjong game. I've been curious about Mahjong recently, so I installed the app. Both are free. It's pretty good and designed similarly to their Solitaire game with daily challenges, leveling, and several ways to play it. It's integrated with Xbox Live so I think I'll get achievements but I haven't gotten one yet. Let's take a closer look. 

WORST.  YEAR.   EVER.  I think we can all agree that 2020 has been one of the worst years in our lifetime, what with the Coronavirus, quarantines, riots and looting, politics, and much more.  And it doesn’t seem to be getting any better, as I just found out my mom has breast cancer (keep us in your prayers).  Some days I wonder if we’ll EVER get through this.  2020 can just suck it!  But at least we’ve had some good video games come out to help keep our minds off of this dumpster fire of a year.  So here’s my Best Games of 2020 Awards Show! But keep in mind that this is my list and my picks only, no outside opinions and whatnot.  And if a game isn’t on my list, it either just didn’t appeal to me or I haven’t played it yet.  Can’t play ‘em all, you know!  But with that out of the way, let’s take a look at my picks.

It’s been years since I’ve eaten cereal and I decided to start yesterday. I mean why not, mix it up a little, and not go full homemade waffles (out of the Eggo box). A couple of things: 1. the milk first folks are weird, 2. why isn’t there a toy in the box? I have four boxes of cereal and zero toys. Good morning Pixlpeeps! I’m here, you’re there, we have some time let’s just ramble on about anything and everything. You read, I write and we’ll all have a good time

Ok so I am currently on my couch on a Monday night and I thought it would be a good time to type out my thoughts about what I have been playing this past week. I’ve spent some time with my new toy/emulator machine and I can give some thoughts about that. Let’s get started before the commercial ends and it’s back to me yelling out letters on Wheel Of Fortune.

Welcome to the 7th Annual Chris Goes Awards Show, but since it’s the end of a decade I’m going to skip some numbers (it worked for the iPhone, it’ll probably work here) and go for the my best of the decade. A little disclaimer here: I can’t remember what I played during the early part of the decade but there are games that stood out to me so I’m going to call them the Best of the Decade. Sound good? Let’s get started!

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!

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

Good morning Pixlpeeps! It is Monday and I haven’t been around last week. I was going to write up a Quick Hits but on Friday I had a dentist surprise dentist appointment. I was on a wait list and someone canceled so I got their spot. I have one more appointment like that, and a regular appointment later this week. Hopefully both happen this week. I really like my dentist and his staff but it feels like I’m becoming a regular and that’s a little odd especially there. Anyways more on that later, let’s get started with today’s combo Quick Hits/What I’m Playing blog.

It has been a busy week and a half and I haven’t been playing a lot. Whatever free time I find I jump right into my NCAA Football Dynasty so I can finish the current season. I have a solid recruiting class I want to use but I still have the last game of the season, the conference championship and the bowl.

Last Thursday or Friday I was browsing through the Nintendo Switch Store and found a couple of games that seemed like they would be entertaining and were a couple of bucks each. I think the most expensive game was $6. Well one I finished in one sitting, and the other well I’m stuck but we’ll get to more of that in a bit, let’s talk about the one I finished first.

So its no secret Im a huge Dynasty Warriors fan. Heck I love the whole Warrior type series whether its Samurai, Dynasty, Hyrule, etc. Ive been particularly excited for 9 because of the big change they implemented and thats pretty much each chapter battlefield is like one big open world that you can essentially tackle anything missions wise in any order. The formula isnt perfect by no means but for a big change its pretty well done. The game has lagged some but I can honestly say it hasnt been no where near as much or bad to ruin the experiance. Im only on the second chapter for Wu's storyline but I am enjoying it immensely. A great V day present for sure. The only thing Im sad over so far, is its no longer has multiplayer. DW 9 is stricly single player and while I get why I have always enjoyed playing these games with someone else. I was hoping to play it with my sister again like old times since we both now have PS4's. Hopefully multiplayer is brought back on down the line. 

So today was a much better day. I didnt get a lot of sleep but my mom was a lot better and that took some stress off my back. I only have tonight left work wise and then Im off for the next 4 days. Im gonna do my best to relax and make them count. Hopefully by next week I'm renewed and things arent as stressful. I am sorry if Ive come off as a debbie downer in my last blogs. Things have been weighing on me but a new bright week is around the corner and Im gonna try to make it a lot better. 

I played through the campaign of EDF 2017 today on Xbox One. It's a Xbox 360 game made backward compatible just a week or so ago. I played it some way back when but never got any achievements for it. This time I got one for completing all 53 levels on normal difficulty.

Happy Columbus Day Pixlpeeps! It is a breezy morning here in Southern California and I am ready to do some sharing on what I have played this past week. To be honest I haven't played a lot because I've been busy and when I did have a spare minute or two I went with casual games because its easy to bring up on a phone/tablet, get your fix and then go on about your business.

So I've been lagging a bit here, my fault so today is another one of my part What's Chris Playing/Quick Hits because I missed Friday and I missed yesterday so why not combine? Anyways let's get started.

So unlike my previous review for God Eater Resurrection this one will be shorter. Reason being that while this game does have differences and continues the story for the series it still is pretty similar. Watch, I say that and its like 5 paragraphs long.
