Guess Who Forgot To Hit Live While Posting

*So apparently I did not hit Live so my post yesterday didn’t get posted. My bad. Anyways I’m eating breakfast and I might as well give this another go.

 

I finished breakfast before writing this so I can concentrate a bit more before going about my day. I really haven’t played much, and I was going to hit the swapmeet on Saturday before changing my mind to look for random video game items…actually I wanted to go and buy this guy’s copy of Shenmue on the Dreamcast. Anyways let’s get started.

 

Currently Playing

-Gems Of War - Switch: So last night around midnight began the new week of gaming with Gems and I thought about moving guilds. My guild leader stepped down to my rank and promoted another to run the show. I’m pretty sure they know each other and that’s fine. Also new folks are starting to kick in gold so instead of me spreading it around to different colors that provide different rewards I just stuck with I believe the brown gems that give keys. I figure everyone needs 200+ keys to get their roster going and possibly upgrade them. Everyone else can kick in for the other stuff.

-Overwatch - Switch: Another couple of games and well I’m not getting taken out as fast which is good, and I think I can play a bit longer without getting dizzy. Maybe I might venture out and use a different character next. Who knows.

-Mariokart Tour - iOS: I think I maybe getting tired of this game. I’ve played so much that now I just jump in, get the new cup, get all (well most) of the stars, get my log-in bonus and call it a night. Sometimes if there is a character that I need and realistically can buy with the gold I have or can get with playing the gold coin race, than I will.

 

Started Playing

-Star Wars Trivia - Google Home: If you’re like me, you play along with Jeopardy by yelling answers out loud, and mocking the people who get them wrong (like those folks who don’t watch sports, and have the look of fear on their faces for any sports category). The Google Home offers a couple of trivia games and I played the Star Wars game. It’s presented by a host, and there are a couple of game modes like general and survival. I only played general which asks questions about the movies in order. It breaks down the portions of the film and asks 10 questions. I played three rounds and ended right around Mos Eisley. I scored 6 of 10, 6 of 10, and 9 of 10. Apparently I know my Mos Eisley stuff. It would have been perfect but I forgot which letter was associated with the correct answer. Fun game to play right before bed time. Of course it’s probably odd to yell out B, ITS FREAKING B at midnight.  

 

Randoms

-If you have stores like Marshall’s, Ross, Burlington and the like, check them out, they seem to have quite a few gaming related items this time of year. In each store I found a bunch of Switch items ranging from gift sets that have everything like screen protectors, gel covers, nub covers, cases, to more specific things like there was a stand at Ross that was a stand that was also a battery pack. Another was a raised stand where you could plug in your Switch while you are playing it. Pretty darn swanky. There are also controllers for PS4 and X1 but those are hit and miss with quality.

 

Alright folks, have a good week!

 

That’s all for now, more later!

-Chris

Target was apparently heavily discounting Switch docks, but not online. I would like to get one, but they're so expensive.

I saw something about that. I'd like to have another dock but they are a bit pricey, and I rarely dock the Switch, although I have been trying it.

I saw a box of Overwatch cereal the other day at a Dollar Store:

Overwatch Cereal

Didn't know this was real.

I went to the site and got the Lucio album in different formats. I'll most likely import the WAV files into my FLAC drive, and convert them into AAC. Yep I'm that weird one when there's a perfectly good copy in MP3 form available.

Oh yeah, I forgot you did that review.

Man game companies really try and squeeze every last dollar. It goes well with the Overwatch Lego sets.

Hey I thought I'd let you know about a free-to-play iOS game I'm enjoying right now.  It's called The King of Fighters All Stars.  But it's not a one-on-one fighter like other KOF games.  Instead it's a side scrolling beat 'em up with KOF and SNK characters.  While I'd rather it be on consoles without the free-to-play stuff, I've been enjoying it for what it is.  I'll probably do a review of it in a couple of weeks.  Might be worth checking out if you like SNK.

Thanks for the heads up, I saw it and I'll probably give it a spin. SNK really should bring a full version of this. It screams Streets of Rage.
