So this was my Memorial Day Weekend in a nutshell: Sleep, Nap, Eat, Tinker on the Laptop, Nap, Sleep. Rinse Repeat. Not the best way to spend what is the start of summer but it was hot outside (100+ degrees), the AC was nice and cold, and have you ever watched Investigative Discovery Channel? That is like crack. So I didn't move much, and most of my non phone gaming happened on Monday night, so that is my full disclosure.

 

What Chris Played

Need For Speed/Ridge Racer – Steam

 

I always start with Ridge Racer, get frustrated with how slow it feels, and then jump to NFS. With RR I am still in the first town racing through the seven or so races I need before I jump into the next parts of town, even though I already unlocked two new sections. Again I wish the racing didn't feel sluggish because this game could be so much better if it felt like there was actual speed in the game to go along with the destruction of the environment.

 

Here is my speed fix. I don't know exactly if there is an end to this game, and maybe I should actually try the Police chase stuff (I don't want to) but I do like racing through this game. Another fun fact is that apparently my laptop lied to me when it said it is playing at the top settings because I found another notch graphically (I think high or ultra) where I didn't lose frame rate, and everything looks prettier. I might make a push to finish this game as the next game to come off Mount Backlog.

 

Turbo Pug 3D – Steam

 

This was one of the games I bought that was part of a super cheap bundle of 40 or so games and I decided to check out the series. I originally started to play the original Pug game

 

Which after two plays I thought was hilarious. The game is basically you clicking on your mouse so your pug jumps. It's an endless runner, funny, and its nothing serious, all qualities in a casual game I like. After 10 minutes (let's be real it was a half hour) before I jumped into Turbo Pug 3D and it was worth it.

 

I collected enough coins for a sombrero. A FREAKING SOMBRERO!

Another 10-15 minutes (almost an hour of clicking) and the sombrero doesn't get old.

 

Ok the game I probably spent the most time with over the course of the weekend

 

Injustice 2 – iOS

So after reading the Reddit page I got some tips to better “play” (GRIND) in the game when I wasn't sleeping/eating/commercial breaks on Investigative Discovery Channel. I put my three strongest characters in short objectives during the day, the crazy 10 hour one at night. This is something I should have brought over with me from Simpsons Tapped Out. Use my lower end characters in the online Arena and only use one character to maximize the rewards, and when my three strongest characters are not in objectives I use them in a couple of in Campaign mode to earn character shards and other goodies or the Daily Resource Missions to scoop up whatever freebie of the day are. 

As for the Objectives I leveled up the process to Level 13 (20 is the max) and with this upgrade I get 20% XP, and better odds for character shards, gems, the premium currency, and some gold coins I use towards the 10 gear boxes for 40,000 coins

 

What a usual 10 basic chest looks like.

I usually make around 40,000 coins a day with this process so with daily achievements, actually playing, and whatever I earn with objectives so it isn't bad.

 

Alright Pixlpeeps I am off. I need to get started on my day so have a good week!

 

That's all for now, more later!
