I read part two of the new Bloodborne Lady of the Lanterns comic, played several board games, bought some stuff at the convention I went to, and played a bunch of stuff I'll probably save for another time because this blog is already going to be longish.
Mark and I knocked another board game off the list by playing Backgammon. Then I played my new Genesis games and finally got back to my XSX games.
What goes better with gaming than junk food that makes you giddy like 5 year olds on, well, Ding Dongs and Funnybones. Yeah, it's unhealthy, but it's only 1. . . ok 2. . . fine! 3 days a week. How else am I going to get through hours and hours of Halo mulitplayer. Ok, I don't play Halo multiplayer, but hours and hours of multiplayer Forza Horizon 5. Anyway, I bought some stuff for my retro gaming and played some more board games.
Yes they do. I know by experience because Halloween cereals have just arrived in stores. This one's based on Captain Crunch, which, by the way, is also my nickname at game time.
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!
I played Switch, X360 and XSX systems. I'd like to make that Switch, PS4, XSX sometime. I always wanted to get to all three major systems during play sessions.
My new plan is to look up the highest rated games on a system and play what interests me going from top to bottom. So far it's been Forza Horizon 5 first and then Halo Infinite on Xbox Series S and Into the Breach and Fire Emblem Three Houses for Switch. Of course, I'm still playing games for Game Pass rewards, MS Rewards and a few old projects of mine. I did remove a bunch of games from my hard drive I was planing on playing but don't fit the current plan. They'll come back around again anyway. It's still a lot of games. I guess the goal is to reduce the number and increase the quality of the games I play. There's only so much time, isn't there?
Hey folks, welcome back to Nerds Without Pants! Julian is on vacation, so these show notes are gonna be super basic. Xavier Kreiger joins us again to talk about our favorite summons in video games, and lots of other things. Also, Justin got a soundboard. Be afraid. Be very afraid.
I'm breaking out the Switch tomorrow. I've also made a new list, so I may stop playing a lot of these games I've been playing. I want to focus on the most current games I'm interested in. But, this is what I played this week so far.
Finished the second movie's worth of Lego Lord of the Rings the other day. There's an interesting mechanic where you can quickly switch to another set of characters in a totally different location. For instance from Frodo and Sam in Mordor to Aragorn and Legolas in Helms Deep.
My copy of Lego Lord of the Rings failed to work the other day, so I installed and started Lego Marvel Super Heroes, which is, so far, very fun.
In the summer of 2000, I needed a new game to play. At that time, I was still a PS1 gamer. Being a RPG lover, my two choices were Square's Chrono Cross and Valkyrie Profile, a game from a resurgent Enix and Tri-Ace, makers of Star Ocean: The Second Story from a year prior. Of the two, Valkyrie Profile looked more interesting, so that's what I went with. And while I did later play Chrono Cross, I wasn't too impressed by it. But Valkyrie Profile went on to become one of my favorite PS1 RPGs, and considering how many of those there were, that was pretty impressive.
It was last weekend (May 7th) in my area, and I picked up a half dozen or so previews for new or recently released comics. Most of these inside contained excerpts from full comics to come. It got me looking forward to a few.
Both my friend and I beat the main story in Lego Batman 2 this week but there is plenty left to explore in this, one of the first if not the first, open-world Lego game.
It’s a lot of 2’s today. Good morning Pixlpeeps and it is a cool morning here in Hawaii. It’s currently 6am so no sun but in about an hour there should be some sun, let’s get started.
Took some time on Tuesday to deliver a game to my friend and then stayed and played some games. Here's what I did.
There are certain combo cartridges games that leave me wondering why they were ever sold as standalone releases in the first place. I found myself asking that question after playing the Hang-On/Astro Warrior cart on the Master System. I mean, don’t get me wrong- it’s nice to have both games on a cartridge. But neither one held much weight when all was said and done. Even so, I was still able to come away with some goodwill toward Hang-On. Unfortunately, I can’t say the same for Astro Warrior, but I’ll touch on that shortly. So, without further ado, let’s get to it.
I couldn't resist a quick chat on my comics reading and console-setup. Here goes.
