You guys haven't heard from me in awhile, and that's because I went back to college this past fall in order to get my Master's. So I've been pretty busy. Still, I was able to beat a bunch of great games this past year. I was able to beat 16 total games. Some of these are retro games, others are new, and most of them are Nintendo games. That's me! So let's get into it. 

Good morning Pixlpeeps! I know you good people are at some point going to buy some Powerball tickets. Last weekend I bought a couple and there were some crazy lines at gas stations. Heck even my little hole in the wall liquor store started getting some foot traffic. I went there because my pops in Hawaii wanted to play his numbers. Anyways I’ll probably buy one ticket today, and one on Wednesday for myself and the same numbers for my pops. When not playing the impossible odds of the multistate Powerball, I knocked two games off Mt Backlog and another two I decided I no longer want to play anymore, and continued on with some other games.

2015 was kind of a slow year for gaming for me. I hope to change that in 2016. Anyway, for what it's worth, here's what I played:

Pixlpeeps what is going on? It has been crazy weather here in normally sunny SoCal was warm during Halloween weekend, and then last night it got really windy and cool. For you East Coast folks, its 70 degrees and I wore my new sweatshirt.

Hello fellow citizens of Pixlbit. School has been piling me with a whole bunch of homework so I haven't had the time to write on here. Over the weeks I've purchased a few things that I may not recall. So I'll try to remember.

I've been wanting to play LBP or LBP2 co-op again for a while now. There are a bunch of x4 areas that I still haven't gotten, plus, LBP is just more fun with friends. I started trying to organize a game on Facebook early yesterday afternoon. I had people who said they were definitely in, some that said they'd try, and no response from a bunch more. I knew it was last minute, so I didn't figure I'd hear from everybody anyway, and you can only play with up to four people. By evening, it looked like I had a solid four player game happening. And then the time to actually play rolled around...

I gave up on BaD, which you probably all noticed. Just didn't have the oomph this year. Anyway...

Darksiders 2 is confirmed for being remastered for PS4 and most likely Xbone. It was first rumored when a listing on Amazon appeared stating it was on PS4 and going to be at the price point of 40$. Nordic Games has since come forward stating it is being remastered for the PS4 but it is not ready to reveal anything regarding it just yet. The price might not be a set thing but lot of remasters have recently been around 40$-50$ so Im hopeing it sticks to that price range.

Soooo...I've been without internet since Dec. 15th. Money's tight and something had to go. My friend (and landlady's son) Michael ran a line over to the cottage, so now I have internet access at home once more. I just have to be careful not to stream too much stuff because of the usage cap.

Happy Black Friday Pixlbit…or what I like to call, eat as much food as possible and sleep. Yes this is how I am going to spend my day: eat, sleep, eat, sleep, eat, video game time, eat, and video game time while eating. Yes this is a good way to spend time. Happy Thanksgiving Pixlbit. What did you? Anything fun, exciting, boring, or the usual? Well since I am updating my blog I thought I’d share my experiences with you good people.

First, I mention this at the end of the blog too, but if you could take this short survey, it sure would help myself and my fellow grad students out. It's only 17 questions and responses are kept anonymous. Please and thank you. https://jfe.qualtrics.com/form/SV_bE0s9GgNM1bpsmV 

Oh one hour of sleep I’ve missed you! For you folks who don’t move their clocks Sunny Southern California got to move its clocks back one hour early Sunday Morning which means, well nothing really especially since I’m still waking up at 6:30am, even on weekends. Blah! Anyways Good Morning Pixlbit Nation, how was your Halloween Weekend? Anything fun happen? Here in the neighborhood we had 10x the kids as last year! Yup ten kids total showed up to the house and got a handful of candy each. One kid freaked out, started running to show his parents, and almost dropped all his candy. Best costume of the day went to a little kid who dressed up as an old timey weightlifter. He got two handfuls of candy. I broke my rule of not giving teens candy when everyone was finishing off trick or treating, there was a guy walking around I’m assuming is his younger brother. I gave him a handful of candy because he was doing this for his bro.

 Okay, here's the deal. I like doing top 10 lists. For some reason I got it into my head to do a series of top 10s about each year in the 2000's – because hey, that's when I truly became a gamer. I mean, I gamed before then, sure, but this was when I went from kid who plays games sometimes to kid who religiously buys Playstation magazines. And then reads them at school in his lunch break.

So im sure theres a game coming that you just cant wait for so heres my two so far.

HUNT Horrors of the Gilded Age (CRYTEK) makers of Darksiders

 upcoming free-to-play video game being developed by Crytek Frankfurt, to be released for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Microsoft Windows in late-2014. Set in the 19th century, the game will be a co-operative third person shooter mixed with elements of survival horror and action RPGs. 

Hey Pixlbit. Just wanted to make a quick post. I'm trying to decide which game to get between LBP and Tearaway. GameStop recently price dropped both of them and caught my interest. I've played a little bit of both of them before, but not enough to complete them. So what are your opinions on these games? Which do you think is the best purchase? Or do you guys and gals think I should just buy both of them? I'd appreciate your responses!

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!
