Later today as of this blog supposedly last Nintendo Direct of this year will be live. I’m a bit excited to see actual release dates for Fire Emblem Fates but after a slow reimmersion of Pokemon I’m hoping to see a surprise trailer for a new main series Pokemon game. And with Pokken and Genei Ibun Roku ?FE taking more of my interest I’m debating, if possible, I should buy a Wii U or not. I hope that, if information will be available in the Nintendo Direct, Shantae makes it in Smash. I really like the character and this is pretty much a popular third party IP entering a game with Nintendo, SEGA, and Bandai-Namco characters.
Happy Friday Pixlpeeps! It is the day before Halloween and I have decided to not carve a pumpkin this year. I like creating a design and then carving it but the clean up and having to gut the dang thing really sucks. So are you folks dressing up for Halloween? I’m going to do my usual of wearing a jersey and calling it a day, besides I hand out candy, make sure random little kids don’t walk into the house (this happened one year, when a kid knocked and then walked past me turned around and waited for candy.

Pixlbit, it’s early but it is time for another edition of Quick Hits with Chris! So I’m heading out tomorrow morning for another trip to San Francisco, which means I’m going to get to utilize all the podcasts, mixtapes, and other media to keep me occupied during the 8 hour drive. I do have a couple of goals for this trip:
We've already shown you some of the biggest games coming this year, as well as some brand-new titles that certainly look interesting. Now, the attention of our 2013 sneak preview turns to some tried and true titles. These are some old friends, coming back to say hello.
Geek culture is changing, evolving. No longer banished to the recesses of poorly lit basements or the local comic book store, Geek culture is permeating into mainstream society. Social gaming has unlocked a whole new market of avid gamers, while ‘high profile geeks’ like Felicia Day and Will Wheaton are proving just how versatile we geeks can be.
With the long awaited Twisted Metal set to hit store shelves next week, you’d think that developer Eat Sleep Play would be celebrating. Instead the developer has laid off eight employees last week, reducing the staff to 26.
