Weekend Gaming
So there are literally a dozen great games I could be playing right now. Of course, Gamefly didn’t help out. Instead of sending something new, I get stuck with Tiger Woods. I’d rather be playing Rage or Forza 4. But truth is, I’m knee deep in Fallout New Vegas, and it’s all I really care to play at the moment. Things have really interesting really quickly in this game. I’ve got tons of quests and I’m playing this completely different than how I play Fallout 3. I’m really enjoying the year old Fallout New Vegas. So I think I’ll be playing a lot of that this weekend. And maybe a round or two of Tiger Woods 12.
What are you playing?
Pixel Art
I think because of a combination of Nostalgia, vague memories and really vivid ones, the Super Nintendo will always be my favorite console system ever. This short document about Pixel Art will explain, in part at least, why some of us loved it so much.
Inifinite Super Mario Bros
Working through some of my old draft posts, I came across Infinite Super Mario Brothers (playable in your HTML capable browser):
Dead Rising 2: Off The Record
I’ve been meaning to post these for a while, but seeing how the game came out today, I should probably post how I am really excited about the idea of another Dead Rising game. Even if it really isn’t another Dead Rising Game.
The fact that it’s a “budget” title at forty bucks doesn’t hurt. Nor does the addition of new weapons (that don’t really look like new weapons). Bringing back Frank West doesn’t hurt, but after all we’ve been through, I’m pretty sad about how things worked out for him.
So, yeah, you’ll probably see me running around the Fortune City area wielding a nail-studded baseball bat, wrecking everything in sight.
Comic Watch [Basic Instructions]
Most of the Comic Watches have been bad comics that attempt to use video games as the punchline. Not Basic Instructions. Scott Meyer is clearly a gamer. I love the 2nd panel:
History of Handheld Systems
Some cool scans of Club Nintendo’s “History of Handheld Systems” over at The Bit Beacon.
In My Hands
Weekend Gaming
I had hoped that Gamefly would be sending me something good to play this first October weekend. After finishing up Crysis 2, I was ready to dig into some Rage or Gears of War 3. Instead, they’re sending me Tigers Woods 12. Way down. At the bottom of my Game Queue. Thanks, Gamefly. You’re service and availability has been worsening by the month. You’re on notice.
But, since Tiger Woods probably won’t arrive until Monday, I’ll be continuing my journey through the Mojave Wasteland in Fallout New Vegas. Maybe a little Enslaved and Age of Empires Online, too.
What’s everyone playing?
Black and White Nintendo 3DS
I haven’t really felt a desire to own a Nintendo 3DS. At least not any time soon. But after seeing this new black and white 3DS coming out in Japan, I might be changing my tune:
