Got another batch of game reviews I’ve recently written over at GameDad.com, including my coverage of the first ever PAX Online. Yeah, don’t expect much. But please read it anyway along with my other reviews, and maybe post a ‘like’ or comment or two. I’d really appreciate it. OK let’s begin!
Hey everyone! It's been a while since I've written anything for PixlBit and, honestly, life has just been a bit too crazy to focus on much. So instead of jumping back into the writing fray, I thought it'd be fun to start doing some Twitch streaming. I did a short stream a couple months ago showing off Quickie World, a kaizo SMW romhack (for those following me on Twitter, you've probably seen my growing obsession with Kaizo). Since that went pretty well, I thought it'd be fun to actually announce this one and try to get a bigger crowd involved. Part of the motivation is the release of a really awesome looking Banjo-Kazooie mod called Banjo-Kazooie: The Jiggies of Time. I'm really looking forward to playing it and showing it off to the community.
This episode of Nerds Without Pants is coming in late, and I don’t have the energy to do a clever show post or time stamps. I’m sorry; I’ll do better next time. In this episode we talk about some of our favorite memories of game related gifts. We go heavy on Ghost of Tsushima, and we squash the PixlBit beef over Donkey Kong Country 2 and Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze.
After finishing up all the Ratchet & Clank main games, I decided to delve back into the box of unfinished/unplayed PS3 games that have been on my conscience for a while. I found one, more about that further down.
Just wondering what some of your favorite gaming podcasts are, aside from the glorious pixlbit NWP of course.
A giant mashup of everything I played the other day becomes another great game. Read to play.
Launch into a new adventure!
A look back at being on the internet for 10 years...
After conquering 2018 with the hyper-realistic open-world cowboy simulator, Red Dead Redemption 2, Rockstar has certainly not been resting on its laurels. As many of you now know, the highly anticipated hyper-realistic open-world crime simulator, Grand Theft Auto 6, has been announced. Thanks to the hundreds of hits my writing for PixlBit has amassed over the past nine years and the runaway popularity of my podcast, Nerds Without Pants (tens of satisfied listeners!) I was given an exclusive look at this upcoming juggernaut. Don’t worry, I got hands-on with this sure to be life-altering video game months before the Covid-19 epidemic. Now that my embargo has been lifted, the story can be told at last!
Bonus BaD! What’s up my BaD Pixlpeeps! Final day of Feburary and it is a bonus day, how cool is that? There was no way I was going to let it slide because it doesn’t come around that often. One of my cool 29th moments was to get a Platinum on Lego Pirates of the Caribbean. I rushed to get that and then had to save the last thing on the 29th. Anyways happy 29th, enjoy the bonus day…and than you all for being part off this wonderful community event. It’s a little hold over from 1Up, but I never got to take part until being part of this swanky home here at Pixlbit. Thanks Pixlpeeps!
For a while there, I had forgotten about being able to save video and screen shots on Xbox. I'm back at it though. Here are a few recent ones.
Not much to report in my little corner of the world. I was supposed to buy a used XBox One from a kid who comes to the market, I even had the cash in my pocket for a week, but he never showed. When I asked him how much he wanted for it, he said $50. I think he rethought it, but I was planning on paying him $100, because I thought it was kind of a low figure and he's a nice kid. Oh, well. Jason's little brother is selling me his for $100, and I can pay him in installments instead of all at once. So yeah, there's going to be an XboxOne in my near future.
Good morning Pixlpeeps! I just want to tell you my good internet friends, Merry Christmas (if you don't celebrate Christmas, Happy Holidays!) I wish you folks nothing but the best, enjoy the time with good food, good people, and good games....and then go back for more good food. I'm thankful that you let me ramble on about stupid things here, games that I've been playing for years, and whatever I may buy. Thank You! Also thank you to the good people that gave us a home here on Pixlbit. You guys/gals/little green folks in outer space are the true MVPs.
¡Hola Pixlbit! I am writing now because I might go out on Saturday to hit the local library and thrift stores to see what has been brought out since last week. Yeah I’m a little late but I’m here now and let’s do some recaps of what’s been going on.
Two years ago I did something that I truly regret: in desperate need of money, I sold my 3DS XL and knowing full well that my purchases couldn't be saved (or that they could and I didn't want to prep for that). I bought quite a few digital games and physical copies for that wonderful handheld. It didn't even matter to me that I had an older model (it wasn't a "new" 3DS).
It is Friday which means I have some free time so after I type up this latest entry here in Pixlbitland I will read/reply to all you good people. I may also go find a higher quality terrible pizza to have for breakfast. Guess who bought a Pizza Crisper Pan? This guy! I may be moving up from terrible boxed cheese pizza to not so terrible bake at home cheese pizza for no meat Friday. More on my diet in a bit but first let’s get this week’s Quick Hits started.
