 Im back once again after a long break. I've been meaning to post here a lot more, but im lazy. Apologies if I haven't responded to anyones comments on earlier blogs, but it seems a bit late now. I do read them though.

 Its been a while since i've posted anything here. I've wanted to, I just never had the motivation to do it. I dunno, blogging just hasn't been the same since 1UP went under. Anyway, nothing really new here aside from numerous health issues popping up all in the past 2 years. Pretty much I was diagnosed with epilepsy, and have a wonderful tumor around the nerve between my toe bones that makes being on my feet extremely painful. I've had other stuff too, but I don't want to get into that. Needless to say im hanging in there even though each day seems to get more and more difficult. I thank God for those days where things ease up a little.

Well its been about 6 months since I got my XBox One, so what are my impressions of it now? First off I would like to say that Microsoft has done a great job on the dashboard. When the system first launched up until about 3 or 4 months ago, I felt like I was playing a beta console with its countless glitches.

I felt like posting a new blog, so why not a few collection pics? Anyway, these are only my physical games and I own numerous downloaded titles for each as well.

 I know, I haven't been very active here. I originally wrote a blog last Nov but ended up losing it and it kind of turned me away. But yeah im back and hopefully I can get a little more active. Anyway, not too much new with me aside from the typical boatload of new games. Last Nov I ended up getting an XBox One day one. It was an interesting day to say the least. It was a last minute thing for me as my dad offered to lend me the cash to get one and a few games. So I frantically called around to various places who all told me the same thing. They sold all their per-orders and might be getting a few extra too sell. I decided Walmart was my best bet. So I got there around 5:45 pm or so and was second in line. After a few hours I found out they were getting something like 12 extras to sell. Needless to say, I was happy. At about 10pm they gave us all slips so we could get out of line until they could be sold at midnight. Yes im aware that the XBox One could still be found on most store shelves a few weeks after it hit, but I wasn't gonna chance it. It was a very long and mostly boring wait, but overall I have to say it was an interesting night and im glad I did it. Half way through the wait ar around 8:30 or so we even got some entertainment courtesy of some idiot standing in line thinking he was cool getting cocky with the manager. It didn't end well for him though. The cops came in and escorted him out.

 Ok people, the point of this blog is to point out 5 games which I loved, yet the masses seemed to hate. Now im sure I can think of more then 5, but im only gonna talk about 5 right now. Some of these games were either ignored by the mainstream gaming press either because the reviewers didn't play them enough, or because they weren't some big budget titles with a big name attached. At least that is my opinion.

Any Steam players here? I've had the service for a few years already, but only really started getting into it over the past few weeks. Over the past few weeks i've sort of been going crazy on bundle sites like Humble Bundle, and Bundle Stars. Im simply in awe at the amazing prices of these bundles. You simply cannot beat something like 5-8 games for $5 or less.

Today I decided to snap some pics of my DS collection......

Those of you that know me from 1UP know that I love collection pics. So here are a few pics of my 3DS, Wii U, and Vita collections. Now these collections aren't exactly complete as I own numerous digital games on all the systems. This is especially true for my Vita which I currently have a pathetic phyisical collection for. Im also aware my Wii U collection is kinda small, but keep in mind I just got it last week. I don't have too much digital for that at the moment so that part of my collection consist of a few apps, Nintendo Land (came via digital voucher with my system) and Yoshi, and Donkey Kong which set me back a whole 30 cents each on sale.

As i've mentioned before, im completely hooked on Skylanders. This game may be designed mainly for kids, but it is seriously the most fun i've had with a game for years. As for the game itself, I own both the first and Giants on my 360, PS3, and 3DS. Anyway here's my collection so far...
