With some slight adjustments to my schedule, I couldn't blog anything Sunday or Monday night like I usually do, but I found some time this afternoon on Tuesdy to do it. I got back from North Carolina on Saturday. On Sunday I hung out with my buddy Mark (aka Mad Krammer) and we played Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel co-op all day and then again on Monday until Xbox Live crashed around 9pm. Turns out some hacker group turned them off again. I don't know how that all worked itself out, but I hope it all got fixed. I want to do more co-op gaming next weekend.

Greeting again video gamers! More notes as I read Brett Weiss' The 100 Greatest Console Video Games: 1977-1987.

Willkommen! This is page 7 notes to the Brett Weiss book, The 100 Greatest Console Video Games: 1977-1987. Perhaps a few of you will remember these times, or at least remember the first few years of NES where such great titles as The Legend of Zelda, Mario Bros., Mega Man, and Metroid were released. Anyway, on to more notes. 

Onward with more gameplay footage and thoughts about games from the second generation of video gaming that takes place from Star Wars: A New Hope to Predator. Or more specifically, my notes as I continue to read Brett Weiss' book The 100 Greatest Console Video Games: 1977-1987.

I guess this question is on everyone's lips on the week of Thanksgiving (provided you celebrate Xmas). Well, I thought I'd ask the Pixlbits out there the same question. But first, I'll tell you my answer.

The notes continue as I read Brett Weiss' The 100 Greatest Console Video Games: 1977-1987. Follow along as I watch some gameplay videos and record my thoughts on certain games.

On Saturday I crossed the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel on the way to North Carolina for a week's vacation. It's always neat to film it or stop at the rest stop and take pictures of passing freight, or sometimes military, ships. We didn't stop this time, but I filmed the crossing. It usually takes over 20 minutes to cross the Chesapeake, but I cut the video down to 3 minutes of highlights. There are ten such bridge-tunnels in the world. How many are in video games, I wonder?

That's 100 greatest console video games between the years 1977-1987. I struggle to figure out how to shorten this Brett Weiss book's title and still convey its meaning. Anyway, more multimedia notes!

This weekend I'm off to Corolla on the Outer Banks of North Carolina for a whole week. I rarely get a vacation away from work, but when offered one by family members, I always accept. I'm going with my sister's family and my mom. I'll have to start packing soon but, before clothes or anything else, I'll need to figure out what games to bring.

That's the nickname you get at level 45 in Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel if you're playing as a Claptrap robot. Needless to say, I played a whole bunch more of this game today. I gained six levels playing co-op with Mad Krammer on True-Vault Hunter mode and got almost to the end of the story again.
