There was a time, I guess between 2007-2010, when I overdosed on FPS games. Battlefield, COD, Left 4 Dead, Team Fortress, and on and on. I haven't really played much of them since. But I watch them from afar.
Quick Hits: I Bought Some Stuff

Good evening Pixlpeeps! I am currently coping music over to a new sd card but more on that later. It is Quick Hits and it is time for me to talk about things that are not game related (kinda). I’ve been watching a bit of stuff and I’d like to talk about it.
Chris Watches…
The Challenge: All Stars - Paramount+: This is easily one of the best Challenge shows in a long while. No crazy connection with previous Challenges it’s former players competiting for 500k, living in a house in I believe Argentina, take on tough challenges and an elimination. There’s drama, but everyone is now family people and aren’t trying to hook up. Next week is the final and I really hope that this show becomes an annual event with all the OG’s.
90 Day Fiance: The Single Life - Discovery+: Oh this show is so much cringe worthy entertainment. This show follows some of the people from the regular 90 Day Fiance show but now they’re trying to date in America and it is so awkward. I believe the Tell All which comes at the end of the season is next week and again I can’t wait to watch.
Other shows I’ve been streaming is random episodes of Community, older seasons of the Challenge, Big Brother, and whatever I find on the current streaming platforms I belong to.
Pitch Perfect - HBO: This movie has been on a lot recently and I’ve been watching. Actually I’ve never seen the beginning, I usually catch it right around they join the acapella groups. This was a series that I bought the music before watching the shows because I kinda like acapella stuff (I went through a phase)
One of my good friends recommended 6 Feet Under as a show I need to watch and I have season 1 ready to go, I just need to hit play. I also need to finish Last Chance U, East LA Community College.
Chris Listens To…
I started using a new music player on Android called PowerAmp which runs a lot better (in my opinion) than Rocket Player and I bought the unlocked version and it sounds amazing. Syncing of music is a lot faster, the interface is nice, clean and easy to use, and if I want to change the colors of the buttons there are a number of free and paid skins. Since I already spent $4 I’m sticking with the original look.

Nada.
Pickups.
It was a busy week for stuff.
Games
From Amazon I picked up Battlefield 4, 5, and 1 for under $20 (maybe $17 or 19 after taxes) for Origin. I believe I may own these on PS4 (I know I have 4 because that came with the PS4) but I spend so much time on the laptop I might as well play it on the laptop.
Non Game Stuff
I bought two things from Amazon on Tuesday, one I just finally came around to hitting the buy button and one was from a random YouTube video where someone couldn’t stop talking about how great they were for the price.
I finally said F it, and hit the buy button on a 512 GB Micro SD card. I am currently copying my entire CD Collection to it*
*Ok so there are no Christmas albums, albums that are similar (having multiple greatest hits CDs that cover the same songs), and artists I realy wouldn’t listen to which is mostly Country. Sorry Country fans. Same can be said for stuff I got on Amazon, Google Play, and iTunes. There is some overlapping between them especially with Amazon because whenever you buy a CD you get a digital rip for free. I have roughly 477 GB of useable space and I think I am at 460 GB used. I have some free space, and most likely I will probably pull some albums off this list as I sit and listen to my player.
The other product I bought was an impulse buy and that was a pair of Holy HIgh True Wireless Earbuds I got for like $13 after taxes. They look like my old wireless Beats except they don’t have the wire connecting the two speakers and they sound amazing for $13. I have to admit the audio stuff made in China are really good and really cheap. Build quality is good, the case top feels a little flimsy, it charges via micro USB, and I swapped out the tips for some small tips I bought a year ago.
Alright Pixlpeeps I am off. Have a good weekend!
That’s all for now, more later!
-Chris
