PixlBit

So I haven’t been around lately. Sorry Pixlbit. I’ve been busy with other stuff and I was playing some games during this time, but I’ve found some free time to update my blog and the latest going on in my part of the World Wide Web.

NBA Finals

I didn’t have a rooting interest in this game other than SDSU’s own Kawhi Leonard

 

I thought he did an awesome job, and if the supporting cast didn’t disappear, and LeBron showing why he should be considered one of the best players in history, the Spurs could be champions. It was good to see LeBron showing respect for Kawhi after the game.

 

Android Games

 

I’ve been somewhat playing a couple of them. Nothing big. I finished off Candy Crush, which is a pain, and I no longer have to deal with it.

 

The Simpsons went stale for me for a couple of months, until they opened up the option to buy land and parts of the water. I got some game play in, and well it went back to be being stale for me. I don’t blame the game, I think I just burned out on it by playing it every single day.

 

They added an odd one time feature that asks you for your age. Yup not like a kid won’t put in an older age.

 

I tried out another Temple Run clone, this time it was Monster’s University. This is a fun game, and it takes a different viewing angle in the game, but the concept is basically the same. I played a couple of games before calling it a day, and haven’t loaded it up since.

 

I do want to unlock Lando Angry Bird, but I’m really burned out on Angry Birds.

 

Vita Games

 

I know I said I wouldn’t buy any more Vita games for a while, but some reason a bunch of games were dropped to $20 bucks, including a couple I’ve been watching, so I added them to the backlog. I also picked up a Power Up Card*

*I decided on buying a card because I visit the local store maybe one or twice every two weeks. The employee that works there seems to know me, is very laid back, and doesn’t put the pressure on to for me to buy something. Same guy I bought my last two games from, and when I went to buy Assassin’s Creed, he said they ran out. Rather than try to push the used game, he offered to check the other store. He made sure it was there, and even asked if they had a sealed one (they didn’t). To thank him for being cool with me I bought a card. At least he gets another sale for his numbers and now I get some magazine for my iPad.

 

I do like Assassin’s Creed, but right now the game is slow, so I only play in little pieces. As for Sly, I’m still in the first main level after trying it out.

 

It seems like a fun platformer, and this is the type of game that seems perfect for handhelds.

 

I see what you did there, creators of Sly Cooper

 

PS3 

I tried the new NCAA Football demo, and well aside from a couple of small improvements, it’s still the same game. I seem to say this every.single.season.

 

I unlocked some pack of cards for use in the full size game.

 

EA has gotten REALLY lazy with NCAA14 starting with Teambuilder. The colors and sounds are still same, along with the options for your Teambuilder teams. You would think with the latest fad being chrome/matte helmets, and multicolored facemasks, they would find their way into game. Nope.

 

The makers didn’t even bother to include SDSU’s new uniforms or update the field. I mean c’mon we announced the new look way before the game was finished. I know they’re going to offer uniform packs like last year, but the field is messed up. It’s like EA gave up. How about they open up the college football license, and let 2K made a football game. At least they actually want to make a quality product.

 

 

I took the New York Knicks to the NBA Finals against the Los Angeles Lakers, and my one goal was to make Russell Westbrook (I traded Jason Kidd to OKC for him) the MVP.

 

I do miss this special court design for the Finals.

 

I ended up sweeping the Lakers, and winning the NBA Finals. I think I’m going to continue this Dynasty because through free agency and the draft I picked up some very good role players. I might play a game or two after this blog.

 

Game Of Thrones

 

So I finally got sucked into this show, and I finished off the first season earlier this week, and I am now working my way through Season 2.

 

The funny part about this show, is that I only watch it on HBO Go, and I’ll only watch on a tablet or laptop. I tried to watch it streaming on my television and for me it doesn’t feel right. Odd I know.

 

Well that’s all for now, more later!
