This list’s games are chosen from IGN’s Top 100 Games of All Time, published in 2019. These fill in some gaps in my now 141 game list.
Since 2019 is, for all intents and purposes, over, I am posting my top 10 games of the year for 2019.
I haven't really been gaming all that much lately. I was usually too tired after getting home from work at the park, walking Beau, and making dinner, and then I started at the market and pretty much the same deal. Anyway, this is what I've played since the Ratchet & Clank reboot:
2018 came and went and to be honest, I just didn't really feel this year. There were some fine games that came out, sure, but as opposed to last year where my top 10 list had left out games I adored, I had a hard time thinking up a top 5 list worthy enough. Granted, if I put in more time into Red Dead Redemption 2, Soul Calibur 6, and a few other games that might change, but I still feel original games were lacking. What wasn't lacking, however, were the games I missed out on before and played for the first time. So I'm gonna tack on a list from other years as well as they represented what I played better than just the new games. And I'll be mixing them with my other games this year as well to give an idea of what I enjoyed more than others.
I’m really liking this blogging while still in bed. It’s comfortable, quiet, and I don’t have to get up. It’s good times. Anyways so as I lay here, with the laptop propped up, after playing my two go-to games on the iPad (Marvel Strike Force and Disney Heroes Battle Mode), it is time to update you good people on what has been going on in my little piece of the world wide web. This past week I’ve had a cold. I like to think it was just a cold. You know the basics: achy, headache, runny nose, and wanting to sleep, and I think I hit the worst of it yesterday when I had a four hour nap, but after that I was feeling good. Right now the only problem I have is trying to consistently breathe through my nose. So this Quick Hits are things I did while being sick.
I would like to say that I’ve been more creative with the games I’ve played over the past week, but it has been more of the same with me, except I did throw in some Switch gaming last night while watching parts of the Stanley Cup Finals/Raw/the local news. I really should dive into the Steam library and play some of the stuff I have installed but haven’t touched, and heck finish the games I already started. That is my current situation.
Bombs are dropping in just under a month for E3, or as I call it, Summer Christmas. Though the first year of Switch was pretty busy, the next year is going to be just as promising so get your body ready for these 10 likely megatons:
As we sail off on this years bad I'll reminisce often about older Bad's I've done. It's been quite a undertaking participating in this every year and I always try to come up with some sort of interesting thing or maybe just something interesting in general.
I like to think that today’s entry is more than ramblings on a Monday Morning but most likely it will probably be just that. Sure there was some game related stuff I did this past week, but other than a couple of spots here and there, I really wasn’t sitting in front of a screen with a controller in my hand for that long, so instead here we are with a couple of gaming items, stuff I found, and other semi-interesting randoms.
So I posted this in a reply on facebook in a discussion about how Super Metroid may be the most important game of its time.
25 Years of Batman: The Animated Series
Jesus Christ 2017, calm the fuck down. It's only fucking April and you're giving us awesome game after awesome fucking game. I mean jesus. I'm going to talk about just some of the amazing games I've played this year.
I... didn't get a new Bicycle. I just have the the Queen song stuck in my head.
But aside from the Emperor Palpatine news that enters my Facebook feed every day, it's actually a pretty relaxing day. I didn't have much as far as lectures and what I'm grading this weekend is not going to take all that much time.
At last year’s PAX East I attended a panel hosted by one of the marketing magicians for Sega of America in the '90s, Al Nilson. At that panel I got up to ask a question about the NEMO project he worked on in the late '80s, but before I did I told this quick story about the time I borrowed the first Sonic the Hedgehog game off my friend when it was first released: While I was at home being blown away by the technical achievement of Sonic Team’s new baby, my friend called me and said his mother was mad he lent out his new game and was making him come by in a couple hours to pick it up. Since my time was now limited to how much of this amazing new game I was going to be able to play, I decided to hunker down and try to beat the game before he came to get it. I focused and played as carefully as I could. I ended up beating the game without continuing and with all the Chaos Emeralds. I had the honor of telling Al Nilson it was one of the best "Gaming Zen" moments of my life. He appreciated my story and my love for Sonic.
Christ on a bicycle its been a good year for games. I've been thinking of what i was going to put on my top 10 games of the year list and this is the not narrowed down list. This is the list of every game that I like and think people should play. There are a lot. Over thirty, and I have the feeling I've forgotten something important.
So, I am just going to steal this idea... and then break all the rules. I have been thinking about my Top 5 games of all time for the past 2 weeks at this point. I have come to the realization that selecting 5 games is just too darn difficult.
Ok, there's still more E3 shit to cover, but fuck that. I've been playing things, watching things, and just all round have some things to say. I'll get back to E3 tomorrow, because there are still some seriously interesting games to cover, but for now, let's talk about games that are out.
Hi Everybody! It's been a while since I've had an opportunity to provide an update on PixlCross and how things have been going. Believe it or not, it's been about 6 months since we "finished" the game and sent it off to Nintendo of America for certification (aka Lotcheck). Well, a lot has transpired since then and the reason for the delay is multi-faceted.
