GTA V, The Division, And Disney Infinity Sale At Toys R Us

Good morning Pixlpeeps! It is a breezy day here in Southern California, which is freaking awesome because it will only be around 85 degrees today instead of the 90s/low 100s. I turned off the A/C and have all the windows open to enjoy this. As you can tell my Monday morning is off to an awesome start.

On Sunday afternoon I started up what used to be my usual walk around Toys R Us to see if there is anything new. Apparently my local store now has an Instagram account, and they sell an off brand of Lego minifigures for $5 for a pack of I think eight. If they were closer in size to Lego I would have bought a pack just to have but they seemed to be a quite a bit taller. Anyways what I wanted to share with you is that if you play Disney Infinity you might want to check out your local Toys R Us because they have this going on

 

Basically $5 a figure if you grab three. Not a bad deal if you want to finish collecting an entire line. There was no such deal for Lego Dimensions. Speaking of Dimensions the minute I fire that bad boy up I know there is going to be a huge update file and I know at some point I will add Staypuff, Slimer, and Mr. T to the collection. Mission Impossible and Ghostbusters I can wait on for a sale during Black Friday.

This was brought to my attention by my cousin. Apparently when I play games on my laptop it shows up on my X-Box feed

 

I wish I was still able to use Grid Autosport but for some reason since the Windows 10 update it won’t load. As for the other games I’ve been playing

The Division – Uplay: I don’t know what it is but I think the difficulty on the game has kicked up a couple of notches since I hit level 20. The bosses are really tough to beat now, and unlike before their ranking is equal to my ranking. Before when I was in the teens, I would be a level 18 and the bosses would be 16 so my weapons pretty much became a hot knife through butter. Now it’s like I’m throwing pebbles at a tank. Currently I am 68% through the storyline, and I am enjoying running around and facing encounters, and side missions until the side missions become take out a boss with a slingshot.

Grand Theft Auto V – Social Club: I am only 30% finished with the storyline but I’ve been spending most of my time trying out various car add-ons, and map additions. A couple of the mods I’ve playing with are:

Benny’s Shop: I don’t play online but apparently this is an online shop like Pay N’ Spray where you can customize your vehicles and in some cases turn them into lowriders. I wish there was a feature where you can control the hydrolics from the controller instead of using the keyboard.

GTA Building Interiors: This opens up various buildings around town where you can walk around and enjoy the views, and just be noisy.

Yachts: You can buy a yacht and roam around it. Also you can move it around the San Andreas island. So far only Michael has a yacht

Mansion with armed guards and cars: This map mod is on the side of San Andrea and there are a bunch of cars and you can roam around the interior of a Ranch House. I believe this is the house from one of the missions.

I can’t get the script that turns streets in Los Santos into a raceway (like the race in Long Beach) to work, and the street races around the city doesn’t start. Once I get those working I will probably be playing a lot of this game just to race.

As for some cars, I’ve been using this Raptor all weekend

 

And these cars are just plain fun

 

Alright Pixlpeeps I am off. Have a good week!

That’s all for now, more later!

-Chris

I'm reviewing some of the new LEGO Dimension packs.  Right now they sent me the Ghostbusters Story Pack, the Mission Impossible Level Pack, and the A-Team pack.  I really wanted them to send me the Adventure Time Level Pack, not sure why they didn't.  Oh well.  At least I've got my work cut out for me!

I'm probably going to stock up on figures during Black Friday. I figure (hope) there's going to be a Buy 1 Get 1 on them or at least drop the price. Heck I might just pick up Mr. T today

That Disney Infinity sale is tempting but I'm kind of done with the series. I've played them pretty completely this year. Those figs are cool though. Hum. . . But I'm really interested in Lego Dimensions right now and the starter pack is down to $50 at Gamestop right now. I may do that in Novement when I don't have a new game to get.

The thing that bugs me with Lego Dimensions is that they're selling the starter pack with an exclusive Supergirl figure. Since I've become a fan of the show I want the figure but I don't want to buy a whole new starter set just for it.

That's like the Dark Starter Set for Superchargers. You can't play as the bosses in the game without buying the set. But, I could race as some bosses with the Land, Sea and Sky Adventure Packs. You have to beat them in a race first though.

They're not going to get me to buy another set...unless its really cheap during Black Friday. Then I might think about it.

Yea, I'm on the look out for sales. Regular price is way too high for me.
