Some Free Minutes For An Update

I’ve been doing a sort of buffet style gaming this past couple of weeks where I would pick and choose random games, play them, drop some, keep others and just got rid of others. Nothing too crazy but it is what it is.

 

Stuck With:

Pocket City - iOS/PC: Of course this would be here because I like building half cities and then getting rid of them. The ones that are current are the cities I named after the Dallas Cowboys, Chicago Bulls, and the dorms at SDSU. Nothing fancy, but I do like the game more on PC because I can use all the cheats.

Madden 20 - PC (Origin): I’m getting tired of using the Detroit Lions so I started letting players go so it’s spicing it up a bit. I’m also starting a new Franchise so I’ve been getting the graphics ready for my squad. Last week I did a comedy logo and this week I made one modeled after a college logo. I think over the course of the week I’ll get the graphics ready and start up this new Franchise.

Pokemon: Some Fancy Name - 3DS/PC via Emulator: I have no idea what the game name is but it’s the one that’s somewhat modeled after Hawaii. On the 3DS I’m playing legit and it’s fun, but on PC I’m using mods and I’m the best trainer in the world!!!! I’m using an offline codes where I don’t lose money, or lose any of my energy bar or attacks.

Mario & Luigi: Dream Team - PC via Emulator: I have this game on my 3DS, and on that version I’m stuck. I started this game on the PC, used some God Mode cheats and I’m still the best trainer in the world!!! Sorry wrong game. I know I’m taking the fun out of playing the game the way it’s meant to be played but I really just want to waltz right through the game like the Terminator looking for Sarah Connor.

Mariokart 7 - PC via Emulator: Another game I own, I really just like racing. No cheating (they don’t load) but I do like racing so here I am just racing when I have a couple of free minutes, plus racing on a 360 controller is really comfortable. I really need to remap the gas and brake to the L and R Triggers.

Grid (2019) - PC (Steam): I really like racing and I knocked out two more race weekends. There are a lot of races and I'm still in the third column of races in Season 1. If I played a solid weekend I could kock out season 1, but for right now I play one or two race weekends per sitting.

 

Kinda Playing:

Homefront: Name of second game - PC (Steam): I tried the original on Steam but it wouldn’t load so I started this game. Right now it’s slow because I just started but it seems like it’s The Division but with North Korea.

Kartkraft - PC (Steam): It’s like Gran Turismo but with Go Karts. Sounds fun, right? Well so far the controls are kinda wonky (that’s probably because of me) and I’m having problems getting the game going because of it. So far it’s a dud, but I’ll give it another go because when I fired it up the first time I was half paying attention because of Jeopardy (current guest host is garbage).

80s Overdrive - PC (Steam): It’s freaking Rad Racer! Ok so it’s Rad Racer meets OutRun and I do love the concept but I really wish I could use a controller instead of WASD. I’m giving it another chance to play

 

We Done:

Homefront: The first game - PC (Steam): It wouldn’t load. I tried to get it to load and it wouldn’t so I uninstalled it.

 

There will be other games added here because I really need to clear out some space on the Steam Drive.

 

Alright Pixlpeeps I am off. I’ll be back on around Tuesday or Wednesday to read and reply. Crazy how life wants to keep you busy. Have a good one Pixlpeeps!

 

That’s all for now, more later!

-Chris

I think I might get the iPad version of Grid. I got an iPad stand with a articulating arm, and have been playing games on it with my ps4 controller. i Haven't played a racing game in a long time.

I own that game on PC and it's good. I believe the iPad also gives all the DLC for free so that's a lot of content for $10. Heck of a deal.

I like Kartkraft. I think I played a pro kart racing game not too long ago on Xbox. I forget what it was called though. Also, it was too realistic for me in the controls.

I need to get that game working because I really want to play a non Mario kart racer. I wonder what the XBox game is.

Project Cars and it's free-to-play I believe.

The 3DS Pokemon games that have a Hawaiian theme are Pokemon Sun and Moon.  Speaking of Pokemon, I just posted a blog about it in honor of the upcoming release of New Pokemon Snap.  I encourage you to read it if you get a chance.

I reviewed 80's Overdrive on Switch last year!  I enjoyed it way more than I should have.  It's basically just OutRun, but not as good.  I still had fun with it, though.

Yes I think it's Ultra Sun. Badass is still roaming around before hitting the first cave and then the kahuna of the island. I like that there's a little Pokemon Snap in it.

I really want to use a controller with Overdrive. It would be 10000 times more fun than WASD
