My kids love Paw Patrol. They’ve been Marshall for Halloween, they’ve got a whole mess of the toys. They’ve watched countless hours of the show. Needless to say, when I saw that a game based around the show was due for release, I knew that one way or another it would find its way into my house. While it’s a pretty simplistic platformer, my kids greatly enjoyed it despite its flaws.
Can you believe this year is already half over? What I like to do this time of year is write about the best games of the year so far. Everyone is all excited over recent E3 announcements, and most of the really good titles come out during the Christmas season at the tail end of the year, and the games that come out earlier tend to be forgotten. So this is where those games get their due. Keep in mind that no outside opinions went into the making of this list. It’s just my own picks. And if a game is missing from my list, it either didn’t appeal to me as much, or I just simply haven’t played it yet. Can’t play all the games out there, you know! Anyway, without further ado, welcome to Cary’s Best Games of 2018 SO FAR Awards Show!
MY HYPE FOR E3 IS OVER 9000!!!
Yeah... it's been a while. Not really been gaming much, honestly. My computer is completely toast and I don't have the funds to buy a new one, especially with graphics cards costing what they do. That and I've just been a bit of a mess lately and not felt like talking to anyone. Which isn't great. We've been a bit hard up lately and moved in with two housemates. One is weirdly in denial about being a geek despite being super into Star Trek voyager and owning an Alienware laptop and a PS4 pro, and the other has a 2 year old kid.
Welcome back to another jam-packed edition of Nerds Without Pants! Technical difficulties can’t keep us down, and we’ve got a lot of fun shenanigans all set up for you, including the introduction of the Mega Buster of Destiny ™, some of Patrick’s worst jokes ever, and more!
So Super Mario Odyssey's free DLC came out and Luigi's Baloon World has consumed me. I admit. I had a farewell series of blogs all posted up for this years BaD...and then it happened. Like a thief in the night...LUIGI...
I got a Nintendo Switch for Christmas, so here, I am going to give you some of my thoughts on it.
I guess this is a little late, seeing as how we are headed into February as of tomorrow, but here are my top games of 2017.
2017 will probably go down as a very good year in gaming. We got a new 3-D Zelda game, a new 3-D Mario game, 2-D Sonic and Metroid games…heck, we even technically got a new Animal Crossing game! Well, we also got a new Bubsy game, but let’s try to stay positive. It was a way better year in gaming than 2016, anyway. So now it’s time for my Best Games of 2017 Awards Show! Keep in mind that no outside opinions went into the making of this list. It’s just my own picks. And if a game is missing from my list, it either didn’t appeal to me as much, or I just simply haven’t played it yet. Can’t play all the games out there, you know! And I did kind of break the rules with my Game of the Year award, so expect some surprises. Anyway, let’s get started!
The Nerds Without Pants are back and starting 2018 off strong! We are joined by Ryan Higgins from The Geekbox and The Comic Conspiracy to talk about our top 5 games we played in 2017, and we’re pretty sure you’re going to be surprised at the selections, so let’s get started!
I just posted a blog about my gaming in 2017. But what about the ones I couldn't get to?
2017 continued the blurry trend of recent years in flying by, and I continued my trend of attempting to play cool games, so let's talk about it. First up are all the games I beat this year and then how many I bought or somehow acquired (don't worry, I don't list those specifically). Be sure to stick around for the Golden Hippo Awards after that!
2017 was a great year for video games. It was personally a busy year for me, as I was finishing my Master's Degree and doing some traveling. So I wasn't able to beat as many games this year as usual, but that's okay. I finished a total of 11 games this year, so let me share these with you. I'm very excited for the new year, and I hope you are too.
Usually at the end of the summer, I’ll have watched enough movies to write a blog about them. And sometimes, that happens in the winter, too. This is one of those winters! So here’s a blog about the movies I’ve seen in the past couple of months. There might be some slight spoilers here and there. Nothing too significant, but you’ve been warned anyway.
I just wanted to think back and see if I can remember what games I played thorughout the year. The idea is just to come up with a list now. This should allow me a reference point for when I start thinking about my favorite game(s) of the year.
