In 1998, having played and replayed Final Fantasy VII and Resident Evil 2 to death, I was looking for something new in the gaming department, and with my immense enjoyment of FFVII, I really wanted a new Squaresoft game more than anything. This was in the summer, before Square began putting out games like Parasite Eve and Xenogears. One day at Target, I saw Final Fantasy Tactics on sale. I wasn't sure about the tactical gameplay, but I figured it was cheap enough that if I didn't like it, no harm no foul. Long story short, I got hooked on Tactics, enough to where I made it one of my 20 favorite games of all time on 1UP a few years back.

At the beginning of the year our thoughts turn towards what games we want the most that are (supposedly) going to be released this year. Looking ahead to 2016, given my tastes in gaming, it's looking like a good year, certainly leaps and bounds ahead of 2014 and 2015. Lots of RPGs coming down the pipeline. There's probably a lot of other stuff I'm not even aware of yet.

Greetings, Pixlbit denizens! I hope you all had a good holiday. I had a good holiday with my wife, our kid,  and our grandkid. We didn't do anything spectacular this holiday. We wanted to go see the Christmas trees in Washington, DC, but an incrediblly heavy rainstorm that hit DC and Maryland that afternoon put a damper on those plans, so to speak. Oh, well, it's been surprisingly warm here and I like that a heck of a lot better than the ice and snow they're getting out west!

Every once in awhile, the subject of "which cancelled video game do you wish had been released?" comes up. My answer to this subject is always the same

My most recent gaming acquisition is the PS4 version of Mortal Kombat X. As some of you may know, I'm a big Mortal Kombat fan and this game didn't disappoint. For an arcade fighting game, it's packed with more content than a sizable number of adventure games, featuring all the traditional Tower, Test Your Might, Test Your Luck, and other challenges. All of the fighters have at least three fighting styles, although some of them are from characters that didn't make the cut for the main roster. In addition, its online is greatly improved over Mortal Kombat 9.

So it's been a while since I posted here, and I certainly haven't kept up with BaD. I think I'd better start slow, like a Blog a Year, and work my way up from there.
