PixlBit

I gamed a little this week, mostly on my 3DS and Vita. On the 3DS I am trying to get past Chapter 17 on FEA, but for some reason I can not, no matter how well I plan a  attack nothing is working. The Vita I am playing D3, I am grinding along with it and levelling up Mao. Other than that I've been working and studying CCNA Security.

OK, so I wasn't going to resort to BaD puns, but I just couldn't help myself.

Given my love for trivia, it's astonishing I didn't come up with something like this a long time ago.

    I was playing Sega Bass Fishing on my Dreamcast the other day when I noticed it was Wednesday, comics day. I told my Dreamcast to bring up the Sega Marketplace and, with the fishing rod controller, made my way through the new releases, the announcer said “Hit!” on every one, which became annoying after a while, and selected the ones I wanted with a tug like you do when hooking a fish in the game. Then I reeled them in to my purchase screen, the announcer saying, “Fight!”. I don’t know why they make you pretend to reel in a fish when you select products to buy, but it is fun. Then an image appeared looking like a basket of fish but filled with comics and the announcer said, “This one’s huge!” A day later, they showed up at my door and here’s the pictorial evidence.

As some of you know, I love Plataformers and I consider them my favorite genre, and Nintendo being one of the most famous creators of games of this genre, has very notable ones on the Wii. Though one of the curious things about it is the fact that 2D plataformers managed to find a way to have a small comeback in sale and popularity thanks to the Wii, so you can name five of those games in one hand. Because of that, I decided to do a BaD with my favorite 2D plataformers for the console. If there's any game you think it's weird it isn't here, that's because I haven't played. With that in mind, let's start:

Happy Thursday you BaD mutha f’ers! The weekend is nigh so chin up, gather round and listen to uncle Shane’s Top 5 most anticipated for 2014

Let me start this by saying this. I love the Tales of series. Namco Bandai's staple rpg series has been relevant for 15 years I believe. That is quite an accomplishment. Now the series is at times hit or miss. Many fans debate which title has the best story or best characters and it seems like that the debate will forever continue as long as Tales stays relevant and has a fanbase.

Be proud of me, I finally installed Tomb Raider on my laptop. No time to play it today most likely, but here's an old video of an idea for the series, brought to you by Youtube (well, really some 90s cable access channel, it would seem)'s Navigatr, and narrated by two Let's Players a recent blog post on here reminded me of: slowbeef and Diabetus, of Retsupurae on Youtube and Something Awful Forums "fame": 

Happy Thursday Pixlbit! Today is the last day of Lego Week because tomorrow I am going to go to my normal Quick Hits format (or maybe just pickups, I’m not quite sure just yet) but to celebrate the final day of Lego Week I wanted to cover four Android games that don’t get the spotlight but are decent games that use the Lego Universe. The best part of these games is that they could be played on your favorite tablet or phone, and they are free. Sound good?
