Ramblin' Through A Monday

Good morning Pixlpeeps! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend filled with tons of games and all kinds of crazy stories. I did not game much because I had my second shot (Part 2 of the Pfizer), still didn’t get my sticker, and I thought I would be sick as a dog the entire weekend. Since I already had the virus I was fine, but my post virus cough has seemed to return. Whatever, so most of my weekend was continuing to clean up the mess that is my music libraries (FLAC and AAC/MP3) but the days leading up to the weekend and Sunday afternoon I may have squeezed in some games just to say I played some games, and progressed my created players.

 

Madden 20 - PC (Origin): So I started a new Franchise with the San Francisco 49ers, changed their logo, uniforms, and field and then proceeded to run through the regular season finishing with a 14-2 record and then I lost in the playoffs in overtime at home to the eventual champion Saints. Instead of doing what I did in previous years, I only went after one big splash free agent (Kareem Hunt 5 year, 60 million) and some role players. I figure by the time Kareem’s contract is up it’ll be time to blow up the team and start over. 5 year window to keep Hill, Jimmy G, and two of the WR’s. I drafted well except around Round 5 I started reaching on players but again they fill needs the team has.

So far in season 2 of the Franchise the Niners are 2-1 with a big trip to Philly.

 

Project Cars: Game of The Year Edition - PC (Steam): So I started a pro career and I can’t remember if I used my funny name (Richard Johnson aka Big Dick) or my porn/dumb name (Rock Slade) but I do know I never use my Pokemon name (BadAss) because that’s just too cocky. Anyways I finally found where I can get my kart racing kick and boy it is fast as hell. I played a couple of races and won both but more importantly…I SCRATCHED THAT GOKART ITCH! I might just stick with Kart Racing with this player because damn its fun and not a headache to play like my actual Kart racer I bought.

 

GRID (the current one with the stuff) - PC (Steam): Last two races I didn’t race as aggressively as I normally do where I give love taps until I make an enemy. I still managed to earn two 1st place finishes and only made one enemy on race weekend.

 

Retro Bowl - iOS: I remember I started a new Franchise awhile back so I went back to it today, and led the LA Chargers to a 10 point victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. I used the dark blue Chargers uniforms with the XFL Red/Black football. It took a quarter to get used to this game, and then it was lets try and score points.

 

Word Search - iOS: I bought this game back in 2015. I bought it for a flight to Hawaii and I bought the extra pack of word searches. Fast forward to this morning and I realized there are two additional packs for $3 each and each pack has 100 puzzles. Now there are I believe 5 levels of game play (Tiny, Small, Medium, Hard, Extreme) so you get 500 puzzles in total. I’m still working my way through the 1st pack of puzzles on the Medium level so it’ll be awhile before I get to Hard and Extreme and even think about buying the DLC. There’s something relaxing about doing a couple of word searches before I have to get up.

 

Randoms:

-I stopped playing the mobile Mortal Kombat. I lost interest in the slowing down of my squad with energy caps, and no way of purchasing higher tier characters unless I grind the hell out of the game and/or use real cash. Why do the latter when the full game can be had for under $10 for X and it comes with everything. It’s crazy

-At some point I would like to get back to tinkering with emulators (relax I own the games) and I want to continue my Pokemon quest of being the Greatest Trainer ever because I have a god mode cheat, or just playing my 3DS games on a bigger screen. Sometimes I kind of want to build a Raspberry Pi Emulator and stick it under the TV. I think I would have more fun building and troubleshooting the Pi than actually playing it. I’m rambling. Anyways have a good week!

 

That’s all for now, more later!

-Chris

It'd be fun to mess with that Raspberry Pi. I see some books about it in my library.

I like watching the videos on what it could do, and I think it would be a fun weekend project to build, and you have a kick ass all in one gaming center.

My mom loved her word search and cross word games on the DS and 3DS, so I wonder if she'd like ones she could play on her iPad.

I think she'd like it because of the screen size and you can use a stylus if you want. The one I play is Word Search +, I believe the app is free but I paid to remove ads and bought an expansion for $3.
