The trailer for Persona 5 made me realize that I need to finish up Persona 4. I have been out of the RPG loop far too long. I am a little intimidated though because I have not played this game in almost 4 years. Even with the strat guide, I'm not sure how easy it will be to get back into it. I also need to finish the secondary semi sequel at the end of Persona 3 FES. In fact I have been thinking of taking a break from my PS3 and dig into my PS2 backlog. In particular the rpgs, Suikoden V, Star Ocean, and Dark Cloud 2, and Grandia 3 just to name a few. Whats bad is I have gotten a good ways into all of these games, but I have not played any of one them in 4 or 5 years now, and I don't want to start over. First world problems, I know.lol

So my friend and I were talking about the 80's, something we do often because we are way too nostaligic for our own good, when she mentioned the Back to the Future shoes Nike is making and how ridiculous they are. This got me to thinking about how cool sneakers were in th 80's and how ugly and retarded they are today. I miss the fat oversized tongues and padded collars. Fat laces, simple colors, and moddest sized logos and names. Some of the shoes nowadays look like an alien turd, wavy sculpted foam with loud neon colors, or the shoe is a giant billboard smothered in over sized names and logos. It almost seems like shoe makers are competing to see who can make the ugliest shoes. One of my favorite pair of shoes when I was a kid were a pair of white leather Keds high tops. The cool thing about Keds were you could customize the the little double triangle logo. The little plastic triangles snapped on & off and you could get them in a variety of colors. And yes, I am aware that this blog make me sound like one of those old farts going "well back in my day". But I am starting to undersatnd those old farts now. Go figure.

So if you mentaly inserted a coma after BaD when reading the title, you totally get my sense of humor. So I created a new sandwich that I thought about calling the Ted Cruz because its basically a Canadian Cuban. But I can't stand that guy so I'm calling it the CC for short. So how do you make a CC. If you got pannini bread great. If not any bread will do. First, put a slice of swiss cheese on one piece of bread, then a slice of mozzarella on the other. Next, put a slice of canadian bacon on each. Pop this in your toaster oven at 225 until everything is nice and melty. Remove from toaster, then put bit of dijon or yellow mustard and a dash of relish or menced pickles. Bombine, cut, and enjoy. As always thanks for reading, and you try the sandwich let me know what you think. Gemini out! 

Seriously, this will likely be my only blog all month.lol Actually I will make an effort to join in this tradition although my anagram may read out more like BeBM (blog every blue moon).

I'm officially taking a break from Destiny. I have identified the mechanism for its addictive qualities that makes a person grind through the same handful of missions over and over in the hope of improving gear or finding new stuff. Cold turky is the only cure for addiction. I am annoyed with Bungie and Activision's approach to nickle and dime players for content. Never mind the unfairness caused to players who did not annie up for the dlc. Or the dedicated players who after a simple update discovered their coveted legendary and exotic gear had just become obsolete. Although exotics can be upgrade ( at a cost of 7 stranges coins and reseting all progress on said piece of gear) legendaries can not be upgraded, only replaced. The thing is this game has so much potential and it can be really fun. But these guys are just being greedy and lazy and it shows.

Well its been a while and I don't really have an excuse other than I just been feeling lazy. I just noticed my last post was way back in September.lol  Anyway, so lets get this blog rolling.

I actaully went and finished paying for my copy of Destiny on my lunch break today with the full intent of going and picking it up tonight. But it occured to me that it will likely take an hour or more to install and the game will not even be up until 1am here. Had I been off tommarrow you can bet your sweet asses I would be burning the midnight oil. So if there are any other Guardians here in the Pixlbit ranks who are looking for folks to play with feel free to hit me up. I 'm going to be playing a Hunter. 

How's it going PB? It has been a while since I coughed up a real blog. So first things first, the Destiny beta was a blast. I only wish I would have had more time to play. I managed to max out a Hunter and a Titan and get a Warlock to lv6. The Hunter is by far my favorite, the Warlock my least favorite. The Hunter is all about speed and agility with a focus on long to mid range critical hit damage. Once you hit lv 15 you can switch to the Bladedancer subclass which turns the Hunter from an agile Gunslinger into an agile ninja that can deal serious melee damage. The Titan is the slower but much heavely armored class for close range in you face fighting. The alternate build for the Titan at lv 15 turns the class into a super tank, able to generate shields and eat bullets. The comparision to Borderlands is greatly overstated but it was deffinately an inspiration for the loot and abilty skills concepts. Random gear drops of varying rarity. White grade are total generics, green grade will have passive abilties and bonuses that can be unlocked. Blue grade have even better stats and perks with purple grade being the rarest. These are called Exotics.  But so far it seemed like most weapons fell into a handful of catagories so I'm hoping for a little more variety in the final build. Overall I really liked what I played. Is it revolutionary? I don't know. Is it fun and addictive as hell? Absolutlely.

I have two codes for the  detsiny beta for whoever is interested. Just PM me, first come first serve.

for $9.99 which is super crazy cheap. That is all.
