For some odd reason my laptop’s WiFi isn’t playing well but I can’t restart the laptop because I’m currently converting some FLAC files into mp3 for my music player. Relax audiophiles it’s a copy and it’s for my big project that I seem to do yearly of making an mp3 or AAC copy of my FLAC library. Anyways while that is going on let’s get started to what games I played (I really only played 1)

 

Just Cause 4 - PS4: So earlier this morning I decided to give it a spin, and yeah it’s more of the same. Guy angry at rando dictator on an island, uses claw thing, glider, and parachute to wreak havoc on a town, liberate the people, take out the bad guy, and see the sights. The game just isn’t the same when you don’t have a mod for the claw thing (on PC I was flying all over the place) but the game is still fun. I believe I freed one section and I finally started an escort mission (hate these). Also what is up with the info screens when explaining your gadgets? It takes forever.

Madden 20 - Origin: So I finished year 3 and it was a disappointment. I reached in the draft for a QB, he did fine, so I traded away the starter for some OLine help, and the Titans fell in the AFC Championship to the Chiefs. In the offseason I bulked up on defense, I signed JJ Watt to an absurd deal, and he gets to play with his fullback brother, and I drafted another QB who surprise was a steal at pick 30 (he was rated the 2nd QB overall in the draft). I re-signed my old starting QB I traded away and he’s now the backup, with last season’s QB the guy who will eventually be the full time backup.

I also decided that every season the Titans will get new uniforms (ok maybe every other season) as well as one theme uniform. For this season I recreated the old Arena Football team, the Los Angeles KISS (yeah named for the band). The only difference is that I didn’t make the chrome helmet, instead I upgraded our light blue flame helmet with carbon fiber

Currently this version of the Titans are 5-1 and just rolling through the league

 

Quick Hits Stuff

Chris Watches…

Big Brother - CBS: Season ended last week with Cody beating Enzo. The shocker was he picked Enzo over Nicole, which lead to BB fans celebrating. She tried to play the good girl yet she acted completely different on the live feeds. She continues to be bitter by unfollowing people on Instagram which is freaking hilarious. Overall it was a terrible season.

 

Pickups

Games

Stop me if you heard this before: “While roaming around Walmart…” I decided to scan some clearance games and this one came out to $11 ($10 and change at the register)

 03

I almost bought this on PC but this version was going to be $20 so I passed.

 

From Fanatical I bought these two games for $3 and change

 04

Podracer saves me from having to connect the N64, and Battlefront is there because it was a buck, it goes with my Battlefront II on the PC as well as the new Battlefronts games on PC. I might play it.

 

Toys

From Five Below

 05

It’s one of those cool red guys from Jedi. I may have peaked under the cape and guy is wearing armor. I learned something new. Oh and guy was $5. I still kick myself for not buying Lando.

 

From Marshall’s

 06

I have no idea who they are in the Call of Duty Universe but I do like these Mega Construx figures. They were $4 each, not a huge savings.

 

Final pickups from a Dollar Tree

 07

How do you say no?

 

Alright Pixlpeeps I am off. Have a good week!

That’s all for now, more later!

I'd like to say that Madden 15 may have been the first Madden game I played on the PS4. It's funny how Madden always seems to be one of the first games I buy when I get a new system.

I've always wanted to play NFL Blitz because it seemed more casual. I'm a little intimidated by Madden, but I'm going to give it a shot.

As a kid, I always liked those red Star Wars guys.  But back then, the action figure of them was really hard to get.

I met the guy who played Lando (Billy Dee Williams) at PAX once and we talked for a good ten minutes or so.

I want to say I remember seeing them on pegs at the store after Jedi came out (or maybe years later at the swap meet) but I never got them because they didn't move like GI Joe's and I didn't want to mix Franchises. I was odd when it came to my toy universe.

Hell yeah Billy Dee is the coolest. I do have his figure when Star Wars re-released their figures for the re-release of the original trilogy in the 90s. He's in a bin somewhere, but I do have Slave Girl Leia still standing under my TV.

I looked at that second KISS uni picture thinking, "Oh, holy crap that looks real!" only to realize ...

It's crazy how good the game looks when you move around the replay camera. My brother did a double take when I sent him a picture of another uniform I created in game.

Dude, those KISS uniforms are awesome!! Laughing

Yeah, I used to love those Red Imperial Guard guys when I was a kid. They were so mysterious.

KISS uniforms as well as the gameday atmosphere was wild. Shame they were only around for one season but it was a fun season.

They were the best, they just stood there but you knew they were badass.
