PixlBit

And me makes three for PA here at Pixlbit. Yeah for PA!

I saw the next Wolf Among Us episode on Xbox Live the other day, and turned away scornfully. It seems like an attempt to draw TV viewers into games by giving them more story than game. I like story, but that's not what I look to first in games; or, at least, I need some substantial gameplay to bring me in as well. Gone Home similarly doesn't appeal to me because it seems more story than game. I like books and comics for that kind of thing. I'm not too interested in it in the game space. I need to be more involved, and less passive in a game.

Same here. I was surrounded by parks, so that's where I took photos.

If you play the two vids together, maybe they will become one in your mind.

I had a feeling I was using the wrong word there. By "meaningless" I think I meant that it had no direct reference in the game since there are no woman like that in it. It's use is clear of course, to pull in the males who are the target audience. It's kind of like some comic book covers that have little or nothing to do with the contents. That kind of annoys me. It's false advertising.

I remember hearing about Fragile Dreams a while back. It takes as its inspiration this type of photography called Haikyo, meaning ruins in Japanese. Apparently there are these whole cities in Japan that lie in ruins and people go there and photograph. It's called Urban Exploration in English. Kinda cool. There's even a website about it. I put the game on my wishlist for sure.

I'm excited to see Guardians of the Galaxy too.

I hope more JRPGs come over here to NA. I'll buy them.

I usually don't like sneaking games, but it's free and so I downloaded it. I'll give it a try sometime.

Well, you should read Ryan McCaffrey's review at IGN first. It's far from a perfect game. The trailers for the game however were perfect. Feast on this:

I get such chills from watching this. From Software has put out some amazing trailers for their games recently. I want to know who they got to do them.

I always thought Bubble Bobble was a puzzle game but that was Puzzle Bobble which was called Bust-a-Move in NA. There are a lot of those out there. I'm going to try and play at least some of them.
