The Weekender January Late-As-Hell Edition

Hello friends.  It's that time....

BTW, if any of you folks have any sort of Photoshop skills....I'd KILL for an authentic splash for this blog.  Doesn't have to be fancy....just something that I can use without having to give credit to some unknown artist.

As always, credit to the OG poster of the above image.

2015.....man, it's been pretty chill so far.  I've played a handful of games and have yet to complete anything.  I'm thinking though that Suikoden will be the first.  There's something about the simplicity of this little gem that reels me in at all hours.  Plus, the fact that I can play it on my aging PSP while watching reruns of Parts Unknown really grabs me.  I feel like I'm killing two cats with one stone.

Yes....cats.

What Are You Playing?

Me, I'm playing Suikoden, and whatever titles Gamefly sends me.  I was going to send back Borderlands The Pre Sequel, but I then decided that perhaps I hadn't given it its fair shakes...so I ripped open the mailer again, hit Gamefly up to send me a replacement mailer, and placed it back in the PS3.  I'm going to give it a fair go this weekened, and see what I come up with.  Who knows?  Maybe I'll end up liking it.  I also paid an extra 7 bucks to have Gamefly ship me a second game...so now, The Wolf Among Us (complete) is on it's way.  I'd played the first episode some months ago and enjoyed it, so I'm more than willing to run through the whole story.  Something about Tell Tale Games....it might be my favorite studio.  I've also been playing some Shadow Of Mordor, but that game seems to grab me in fits and starts.  I'd read some of AsReal's comments about the ugliness of the world, and he's right: Mordor is ugly, and it all looks the same.  Plus, the Nemesis system on Ps3 isn't nearly as fleshed out as it is for modern consoles.  Plus, whenever I pause the game....it takes a full 20 seconds to reach the game from the pause screen.  Not effin' cool, in my opinion.  Ruins immersion, and pisses me right off.

What Are You Watching?

Netflix recently added Ancient Aliens and also Vietnam in HD.  I've been check those both out.  Good shows....though there are some real kooks on the Aliens show.

What Are You Reading?

Mostly YOUR blogs.  I dig your writing, all of you.  I've also started A Cook's Tour by Anthony Bourdain, and I finished No Easy Day...gonna move on to No Hero pretty soon.  I've also got a whole bunch of digital comics from Humble to dig into.  I just need more time....

What Are You Eating?

Tonight I'm gonna feast on Little Ceasar's pizza, crazy bread, and some cherry Pepsi.  Not at all good for my body, but it's quite nourishing to my soul.

Howsabout you folks?  Sound off, please!!

I'm watching episodes of Agent Carter and Constantine on Hulu Plus, episodes of Crossing Lines on Netflix, and the movie Next of Kin on HBOGO. I'm reading The Lions of al-Rassan by Guy Gavriel Kay. And for dinner, I finished off the last of the corn chowder I made on Wednesday, along with a slice of honey oat bread from the local bakery in town.

I'll still be training new DJs until Monday, reading my Media History book, trying to figure out the next step for my thesis and watching whatever I fancy on Netflix. I am currently watching Friends, wondering if I ever didn't see an episode out of the 10+ years of reruns I watched. 

God, Lil' Ceasar's sounds good.

I just watched Michio Kaku talk about The Future of the Mind. He went on a lecture tour to promote his book back in April 2014 and many of them are on youtube. He does an hour talk with a slide show and questions afterward. Really good. Link here.

we're celebrating my birthday today.  My brother is coming over (also to work on his car as well), and I'll be getting a nice dinner and ice cream cake, and some presents.  I bought myself a mechanical keyboard that I am excited to try out.  

I've been playing Final Fantasy IX but I'm stuck on a boss that instakills me.  goddammit.  

Watching The Fall with my parents, which is a detective show on NEtflix starring Xfiles' Gillian Anderson.  It's pretty creepy.

Glad to hear your giving tps another shot. Its not a bad game just not as good as it should have been. I Beat Suikoden ages ago but really need to restart and finish Suikoden 2.

I have mostly been playing Skyrim. I finished the Dragonborn missions and have been playing through the Dawnguard story. I wish had done so sooner, crossbows rock. Still poking around in Destiny a bit, just too grindy and repetitive, but so damn addictive! I tried out Ultimate Street fighter IV before I sent it back and cancled my Gamefly subscription. I do feel like it is the deffinative version of SF4, Capcom finally got some of the balance issues figured out.

I have been watching the Ancient Alien show too, history and wierdos are such a great combo.lol I also recently watched a somewhat new (2012) Jacky Chan flick called "Chinese Zodiac". Dude still has the moves even though he is pushing 60.

Not much reading lately.I need to correct that.

Got Chinese yesterday, Moo Shu chicken although I prefer pork. Not great but better than Micky D's.

TPS isn't too bad, though I've already hit a wall with the first boss, Deadlift.  I'm either gonna open my game up to the public or grind a bit.  That fucker is all over his area, and I'm finding it hard to get a fix on him.

He is kind of a pain. A good shotgun and sniper combo worked for me.

I'm late and catching up on past blogs (down to 16 unread) so let's see:

Playing: I finished Tomb Raider on the PS3. It was freaking amazing!

Watching: Still watching content on WWE Network and sticking with Shameless and Girls

Reading: just blogs, I haven't picked up a book since my Nexus 7 decided to stop working

Good to read that you like the Telltale games. I want to play Game of Thrones but I didn't really care for their Back to the Future game and that's what is holding me back. Maybe if/when there is a sale on it on the iPad I'll give it a try.

I'm finding a means to get more love out of my PSP but it's more in the realm of "survival horror"....

Kooks on aliens you don't say. Surely you don't mean the alien research god among men do you...?

right now just brimming with ideas for this year's BaDs.

You've all been very BaD gamers. mwahahahahahahahhaaaaa!!!!
