Can't stop, won't stop. This is my playlist for upcoming November. Recipe: open Metacritic. Limit it to the years 2019-2021. Go from highest to lowest ranked, choosing games I want to play or replay.
2022 was...better? Maybe? We got some great games anyway, and the backlog ever giveth, of course. First we'll take a look at the games I beat and bought and then we'll move onto the Golden Hippo Awards!
I just love chasin' MS rewards points and Game Pass rewards points for online MS bucks at the end of every month. $10 bucks worth. I usually do that before joining my friend in playing whatever he's playing, which right now it nothing but Minecraft. I also played during the Eagles football game while my friend watched it. I've totally lost my emotion for live sports. I'd rather play Undertale.
Some Friday and Saturday gaming while eating mint cookie bites. I'm counting those calories, so it's not unrestrained snacking.
And lo, the final seal was broken, and Nerds Without Pants exceeded their previous limits and stepped into the world of four-hour podcasts. Yep, strap in, because this is a beefy boy podcast. We’re joined once again by Mike Fallek of the Hackthought Podcast to talk about our favorite things from gaming’s yesteryears, along with a whole lot more. Hey, it’ll get you through half the workday, so that’s pretty cool, right?
What would a "dungeons spire" be, I ask? Maybe something in the Mines of Moria from Lord of the Rings; and, I wish I had "Castlevania Quest Friends"; although, I think all of you here are that. I like "Rime Fight" - might be like a rap fight except between sailors using sea shanties. "Who's got ye best shantie, yar, let us see". So, altogether it means: sailors having a shantie battle with their friends Alucard and a collection of Universal movie monsters in a spire buit deep in the Mines of Moria. Yeah. Actually it's just the eight games I played today.
These are the 20 games I played published this year. I only finished 3 of them but I enjoyed all of them in whatever time I had to give them. Here they are in chronological order.
Welcome to a combative episode of Nerds Without Pants! This time, we are joined by Gabe, the host of the Arcade Memories podcast, and co-host of the Inter Party Conflict podcast. We get all warm and fuzzy about memories of our greatest video game foes…and then we annihilate them! Also, Clayfighter 63 1/3 takes on Killer Instinct Gold in the steel cage, so, you know, that should be an interesting match…
I played a lot of Battle Chasers today, then tried out Slay the Spire and then finished up with several fun levels of CODBOps II.
