PixlBit

I never played original, so I'm stoked if it doesn't have turn-based combat. Turn- based is just not my cup.

I want to play it, but not until it drops in price a bit.

I'm so sorry about your mom, Julian. That's crazy it was such a random event. Glad you're trying to be independent and don't have to file for bankruptcy.

When I was little, we actually housed an Irish kid on behalf of our church or some other organization (my family is Catholic) because of the violence in Ireland. Sad that's still going on. My grandpa had a song I still remember hearing from his stereo with lyrics "I lend a hand to me Protestant brother, but the British man?" so ... at least the Irish have other prejudices?

I can attest to how awful PSN is for downloads and for some reason I have a hard time navigating PS Store from my actual PS4. I have to go online just to know what the full extent of my PS+ extras is most months.

I love John Lennon's music, but he is a giant hypocrite. That's funny about Jimmy Page's house. I prefer our system where you just add whatever flag to your house and be done with it.

Didn't realize we were touching on religion in this episode. I'm still an atheist and Patrick is going to get shot by a Protestant. Or several of them. Actually, now that I think about it, Deep East Texas might have that in common with Ireland.  Not really, SFA's Catholic church seems unmolested, just surrounded by Protestant churches.

I was wanting to play Until Dawn, but decided against it when it was revealed to me it was a QTE game. Still wanted to rent it, but not sure it's at Red Box now. I wasn't gonna buy it. There is definitely something to be said for games that just keep going. And I think that whole "oh I'd have done this" BS ppl say about stressful situations is always nonsense. You don't know until you've lived it. 

Rocket League is so great. I bought the DLC for the Back to the Future car. I didn't know Shantae and Shovel Knight were linked by composer. I like this guy. 

I would comment on whatever you guys were talking about before Rocket League, but I honestly threw my attention elsewhere for most of it. 

Tomb Raider is terribly violent and over-the-top, but I loved it. It looks awesome. Will admit though, Conan's reactions to her deaths were spot on. And yeah, video game logic. I don't remember ever having control taken away from me though. You sure it wasn't just meant to be a sudden wind? 

I rmember Fallout 3 being a big deal, but it wasn't a HUGE deal the way 4 is. I've never played Fallout, so I'll just rent it first. I am the only gamer in my circles who was not that hyped nor has played F4. 

You got a disc read error after the last boss? Wooooow. That would have been threats to call the President of Nintendo when I waslittle. I might actually do it now if that happened, just for the satisfaction. 

Cool you went to 24 hours Angelo. I did that for Heroic Inner Kids/Extra Life not too long ago, we had to keep the kids away from our Cards Against Humanity and ... some similar fun game made by You Don't Know Jack people. There were also tons of PC, tabletop and console games. Of course, I did not know your son was such a BA at SB. Awesome! Happy y'all raised some money too! I kinda want that Sonic spork. 

I could use an investment game besides GTA V. I kinda want to start investing. Outside of loan debt, I save perfectly fine, but I need to invest. Oh wait, you meant ... never mind. 

I also prefer a controller to arcade, but I will agree PS4 doing a quarter circle for GGXrd does not always work unless i use d-pad. A lot of times in fact I'll think I'm obviously going a certain direction on the PS4 joysticks and ... apparently not. That always happens with controllers for me though, at least on GCN it did.

Yeah, my mom has a laptop and an iPad from her school. Most of the tech we've had through the years were because she is a tech teacher. 

Oh yeah. You don't count, you're more offensive than me..

I'll be an adjunct professor in the spring at my alma mater. Teaching kids Photoshop, Indesign, Premiere, Final Cut and Audition.

So are cats, just saying that's not enough to get you archived unless you write some amazing article relating video games and the World Wildlife Foundation. 

I'm going to have to brush up some skills for my new job in January as well ... and start apartment hunting, which I can't do until like 2 weeks from now due to my traveling circus of a job. Speaking of which, I need to download the Adobe Cloud thingy to start knocking out some InDesign/PhotoShop tasks I need the kids to do.

We can do it! And I'm glad you're getting an increase in salary! I'm going into a field that can pay very well after tenure, but ... right now it's more of a lateral move financially.  

I should look around at some local game shops, or maybe see if Half Price Books has some deals. I can't think of anything under $50 and that you could get in a brick-and-mortar store for Christmas, but I bet I'd think of a few things with a quick trip.

Maybe the community can vote on what gets archived and what doesn't? Like a well written article with tons of 1ups, yes. A blog consisting of cat pictures with lots of 1ups, not even in the running for archival.
