Whether you asked for it or not, chances are, Generative AI is now a part of your day-to-day life. Increasingly, it’s been worked into every facet of, well, everything. If you’re like me, it’s become a huge part of your work life too, regardless of whether you asked for it. GenAI is changing our world; it’s deskilling workers, weakening labor power, increasing the surveillance power of institutions, and reducing our collective agency and intelligence.
It's taking me a long time getting through Xbox 360, and probably a while to get through PS3. I may be starting Wii next year at this rate, but I think I'll just keep on going until I get to the present and then start from the beginning again sometime next year. I really want to get through everything I have and weed out the stuff I don't like.
Going down the top ranked on Metacritic for that year, these are what I played a lot within console generation 7,
I've been away far too long. Where'd everybody go? Now that I'm in a better headspace, I'm hoping to be back to blogging regularly. Maybe we can lure some of the others back. Anyway...
Weird month for me. My weekend is Tuesday and Thursday, so I added a half day after work today in anticipation of Thursday. I played one game for Microsoft rewards points, a second for Game Pass rewards points and then another randomly chosen game. I'm really enjoying the randomly rolled games. I love not knowing what's going to be next.
Well it’s March, which means BaD is over, it’s getting warmer, and I am here still playing the same handful of games thinking about if I should try something new or go back to the same old stuff. So let’s have a quick chat about the games I’ve been playing and not playing.
Games of the Decade: Expansion Pass #17/Blog a Day #14
Games of the Decade: Expansion Pass #18/Blog a Day #13
Recently, Netflix launched High Score, a new documentary series on the history of video games. I thought it was entertaining enough that I wanted to discuss and review it here on this blog. So here’s my thoughts on the six episode series!
Bagels with Cream Cheese and a side of leftover WingStop isn’t the ideal breakfast but it was tasty yet now I would like a nap and it’s only 10:55am. Let’s get productive before I give in and ruin this humid, hazy (lots of smoke in the air because California is on fire) Tuesday morning. Let’s get started with things before I forget. I may have a good rant.
Don't ask me. I jumped into the portal and found myself in a swirl of psychedelic color with strange creatures and farm implements circling round me like I was in the eye of a tornado. Every single button made me sick to my stomach with zero-g movement, so I quit, watched a tv episdode and played the following seven games instead.
Here are my media picks for 2005. They're not CSI, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Resident Evil 4, Green Day's American Idiot or Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code, but I like what I like.
And here’s the last of the blogs about the games on the Turbo Grafx-16 Mini’s US releases. Well, mostly. I’ll combine a few of them that had both US and Japanese releases on here like I did last time. So let’s take a look at the rest of them!
The last classic collection I got on sale recently was the Contra Collection. I’m not a big fan of Contra either, but I do like it a lot better than Castlevania. I was never very good at Contra, though. I do remember it being very popular when I was a kid in the 8- and 16-bit days. Most people I know either had it on the NES, or rented it a lot. It may not be the first run and gun game, but it is one of the first that perfected and popularized the genre. I even remember one time reading a newspaper comic strip back then where two kids were running home to play NES games, and one of the kids said “Let’s play Contra!” So anyway, let’s take a look at the Contra Collection!
November has passed and what it mostly consisted of is shitty weather, the usual grind of work and sleep, some better films than in October and gaming on the usual titles. Thanksgiving was rough at first due to being sick on the actual day. The day after, I was feeling better but bummed that I missed out on Thanksgiving for the first time in my life. Luckily, my older brother came to the rescue and invited me to a late Thanksgiving dinner with his wife and the in-laws. Good food, plenty of time spent with my now 9-month old nephew and the company of family. Perfecto.
So I’m trying to get back on track and finish 2019 strong by keeping up with my blog posts. I finished breakfast, have a couple of minutes to jot down my ramblings and see what I can remember playing over the past week or so. Sound fun? Let’s go!
For those of you out there sold on both Persona 3: Dancing in Moonlight and Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight, the Persona Dancing: Endless Night Collection on the PS4 is a great way to get both, along with one fancy bonus: a PS4 port of Persona 4: Dancing All Night. The title once exclusive to Vita makes an appearance in this bundle and offers up a bit of a different approach to the Persona Dancing formula when compared to the newer titles. A full-fledged story mode is on offer rather than the simpler sidebar social interactions. For those vested in the characters and story of Persona 4, there’s a lot to like about this brand new story.
As requested, I am bringing you some KREATOR! Gods of Violence is the fourteenth studio album by Kreator. Who is Kreator you may ask. Well they are a Thrash Metal band from Germany. Now on to the meat! The METAL!!!!
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!
