I know there are many of you with strong opinions against EA but hear me out! On the surface, when you hear the name EA, you immediately think of annual iterations and watered down, mainstreamed products for mass marketing appeal. Delve deeper than that and look at the Developers under EA's canon.

It's hard to find a developer and/or publisher with a catalogue and body of work, that's so polished and highly rated. Rockstar don't make bad games. Period. This is why this video, a podcast with some very funny and passionate guys discussing a private press showing of GTA V, has really got me giddy.

Aw man let’s get this out the way, fighting games are hard! Yup Injustice has been kicking my ass these past few weeks. I’m not saying the game is unfriendly to non-fighting fans because it’s not. The game is actually very accessible and I’ve gotten through the story mode and a few of the battle modes (Arcade Mode), without any issue. This is very much a case of easy to learn, difficult to master. I’ve won one, yes that’s right, one solitary win online out of a possible 30! I know that says more about me than the actual game. In fairness I’ve not given the game enough time to train myself the different combos and/or strengths and weaknesses of various characters. The game is really fun though and for local multiplayer with friends, the game is class. I may try getting myself better at the game, or it may just end up on my pile of discarded fighting games never to be returned to. As I paid full whack for it, I’m going to try force myself to the former.

Ok I’m going to stop apologising for not regularly blogging, I keep saying I’ll start being more frequent but let’s face it I’m the blogging equivalent of an alcoholic and abusive husband, who spends his wives money down the betting shop. I say I’ll change but they’re just words, when it comes down to it.

Oh dear, fell into the trap of not posting in a while. Unfortunately life does sometimes get in the way and I’ve not been as active as I would have liked, as of late! Well where should I start...?

So this Tumblr post was pretty cool putting Community season 4 into perspective.

Ok so I’ve done the obligatory ‘1UP Refugee’ blog that we’ve seen in abundance here at Pixlbit and I’ve also given a brief history of my past with JRPG’s. However since I’ve decided that I want to blog a lot more, I thought it would be cool to give you guys a quick profile of who I actually am, since a lot of you probably know zilch about me!

So I wanted to write a blog on JRPG’s, as that’s what I’ve been playing lately. The thing is all I really want to do is wax lyrical about them. Doesn’t really make for an interesting article does it? That was a rhetorical question, no need to answer. Still struggling of a direction to take this – ok I’ll just start writing and see what mess of a write-up I create!

Just a quick blog to say hi Pixlbit!
