I feel like I don’t actually play any particular game anymore, just metagames. I jump from game to game, gathering achievements and reward points, maybe trophies too, and only hang around if the game really grabs me. I guess this is the way of modern video gaming. What else can you do when you are looking at hundreds of games every time you sit down to play. So here’s another list of games I visited across two systems today.
It’s a jam-packed edition of Nerds Without Pants this time. We have Stage Select, we’re Chrono Crossing to 2002, and Patrick and Julian bring out every weapon of kings they can bear to do battle over the quality of Final Fantasy XV. So let’s jump right in!
Welcome back to Nerds Without Pants! This week, we are joined by Danny, a former Gamefellas coworker of Julian’s, and a very knowledgeable classic game collector. We have a packed show for you this time, so let’s get to it!
Holy pumpkins, Batman! It’s the 100th episode of Nerds Without Pants! How the hell did that happen? How are we still doing this? How are people still listening to us? That is one of those unanswered questions, like how candy corn is still a thing. Join us for…well, a pretty standard edition of Nerds Without Pants, if we’re being honest!
Hey folks, it’s Julian. Man, it really sucks that Angelo has been out and we didn’t have Patrick on our last episode. We’re about to hit episode 100, but where is—OH DAMN, SON! ALL THE NERDS WITHOUT PANTS ARE HERE! That’s right! We’re finally all back together for a short and sweet Consumption Junction edition of NWP.
Just finished the tower where you find the hero dude and wondering where the rest of the fragments I need to continue are. The flying carpet opened up a few areas but a couple remain inaccessible. I need a couple more mini medals for the poison needle, I could have sworn I had more than 43 but oh well.
Got a pretty good selection of games I’ve recently reviewed over at GamerDad.com, so here’s another blog with links and such. And some of these in this batch are pretty weird and kooky! I hope you get a chance to check them out and maybe even post a comment or two here or there. I appreciate it! Let’s see what we got this time!
Kotaku gave 7th Dragon III a great review. I think Mothman said he's going to buy it, but I might wait for a price decrease cause I'd kind of rather buy Grand Kingdom for the Vita. Don't know yet. http://kotaku.com/7th-dragon-iii-code-vfd-the-kotaku-review-1783454790
For the longest time, I didn’t own Sony’s newest handheld, the PS Vita. Which may seem strange at first, because I loved the PSP, Sony prior handheld. In fact, other than the Neo Geo Pocket Color, the PSP was the only other handheld I bought that wasn’t made by Nintendo! There were lots of PSP games I loved to play: Loco Roco and its sequel, Ys Seven, Half-Minute Hero, Gurumin, Mega Man Powered Up, and many more. But the Vita just didn’t have as many games that I wanted to play, or at least not enough to warrant purchasing one. But after a few years they’ve built up enough games that interest me, and since I couldn’t think of anything to ask my family to get me for Christmas, I just threw a Vita on my list and to my surprise I got one late last year as a present! So here’s my impressions on the Vita and some games I got for it (probably a little too late, but hey, better later than never).
