OK students, class is back in session! Your assignment today is to read as many GamerDad reviews I’ve recently written and maybe post a ‘like’ or comment or two. You’ll get an A+ if you do. OK, let’s begin!
Quite a lot has happened gaming wise for me in the last two weeks. I finished up with Twin-Stick and Isometric shooters and discovered several new franchises and another racing game I love. So here goes it.
I just got two of my favorite TV shows of the 2000s from Amazon, Venture Bros. and The Mighty Boosh, that I wanted to watch but now there's no time for them. Instead, my regular goto without a tv show to watch during meals at game time, is Fail Army on youtube. Why this is endlessly entertaining, I'm not sure. The psychology of it elludes me. But it is constant source of hilarity even topping other distractions like sports highlights, hobbyist vids, and miscellaneous trivia. It's like the sauce on the sandwich of gaming. Details below.
Games of the Decade: Expansion Pass #20/Blog a Day #11
So, in the last 4 months or so since I posted a blog entry, the only big life change was when, at the end of July, I was in my first fender bender. It was an accident and it was my fault (I was cited for failure to yield) and no one was hurt (thank god), but the 1999 Honda CR-V was totalled. The front passenger side looked like it was caved in. I didn't have the car for very long (6 months shy of 2 years) but it was a good vehicle and it hurt to see it go. Again: accident, no one was hurt but I liked that car.
After playing Pokemon Let’s Go Pikachu, I am convinced that Game Freak is incapable of dropping the ball (pun not intended). Everything about the new title convinced me that something had to go wrong. It’s a remake of Pokemon Yellow, a rehash of Red and Blue Versions (which already received remakes fourteen years ago). In addition, it’s incorporating the more shallow catching mechanics from the free to play Pokemon Go on mobile, usually the kiss of death a console game. On top of that, Nintendo has admitted it is a cash grab, as they wanted a Pokemon game on the Switch without rushing the true sequel. And yet, not only is Pokemon Let’s Go just as fun and addicting as the core titles, but I now I want Let’s Go sequels for every other Pokemon generation.
Well OK there’s not really anything spooky about these reviews. It’s just close to Halloween so…yeah. Anyway, here’s the latest batch of reviews I’ve written recently at GamerDad.com. Please click on the links and read as many as you can, and maybe even post a ‘like’ or a comment or two. I’d appreciate it. Thanks!
So how was everyones July? Too hot? I know mine fucking was. The heat as been ridiclous in Texas and Im hoping we are gonna cool down starting in August. I actually was going on regular walks and playing Pokemon Go for awhile but then 109 and 110 temps hit and I was like no thanks! Ill stay in doors like the hermit I am most of the time. I did get quite a bit in the hobbies department this month!
2016 sucked for me. Not because a bunch of celebrities bit the dust or our politics got even more polarized, though that didn't help, but for extremely personal reasons I won't go into.
Hello everyone! I was out of town celebrating some birthdays this weekend so I missed my Friday post. Hope the weekend treated you all nicely.
Welcome to a surprise edition of Nerds Without Pants! After our nearly three-hour kickoff for our new Stage Select feature, we decided to get together for a good old fashioned “all Consumption Junction” episode. Strap in for a couple hours of media consumption!
Welcome to another exciting episode of Nerds Without Pants! This week, Angelo and Julian kick things off with some photography talk and wax nostalgic about dark rooms. Then it’s straight into Consumption Junction before Patrick joins us and we wrap up with Chrono Crossing. Do join us!
Good morning Pixlpeeps! I am currently watching the Live Stream of the Star Wars Celebration from Europe so at times this latest entry might feel a little more broken up than usual. I see Brienne of Tarth is doing the hosting. Someone needs to ask her what she thinks of this past season of Game of Thrones…and maybe her thoughts about the next Star Wars flick. Anyways let’s get started because there is a calm point in the presentation.
Good morning Pixlpeeps! I hope you good people had a wonderful weekend and are ready for the week. This past weekend I changed up my gaming routine a bit and I powered up my 3DS XL for some gaming, and to be shocked that the battery still had 70% of its juice since I last powered the dang thing up. Before we get into that let’s check out my progress in Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
Good afternoon Pixlpeeps! I am finally getting around to typing up today’s Quick Hits because earlier this morning I’ve been busy cleaning, and running around doing errands. Finally I have some time that I want to get some use out of it and update you good people on what is going on with the stuff I’ve been watching and listening to. Sounds like fun? Good, let’s get started!
