Well Happy Monday Pixlbit! I hope you all had a good weekend and for many folks are in Day 3 of their 3 Day Weekend. Blog a Day is back on and I am here to let you good people know two more games came off Mount Backlog last week, and I am currently working on another, which hopefully I will finish either today or tomorrow. How are you good people? Anything fun, or exciting happen this past weekend? After we last spoke I went to the local fair and did my usual of walking around looking at all the exhibits, looking for the mythical vendor who sold trading cards for super cheap (I decided against buying $1 cards last year for some crazy reason), eat some bad fried fair food on a stick, and I threw in a new thing I wanted to do this year, ride a camel. Yes the animal with a hump that likes to spit. I figured why not, the last time I rode one was when I was in like 4th grade, so let’s do it again.
Retro weekend lasted about an hour. I tried to play Metroid, and I tried to play Mega Man. I downloaded them on my Wii from Virtual Console, used my classic controler, and just couldn't handle those crazy platform jumps - drove me absolutely nuts. I didn't even got past the very first screen in Mega Man. But, you know, I'm glad I got these games and experienced them, even if it was for only one screen. I loved the presentation of both and even admired the controls, which were obviously carefully worked out. These types of games are just not cup of tea, sad to say.
Shortly after the Squall, it started snowing and hasn't really let up since. I got lazy and stopped training. Stupid of me. There's 80” of snow out there, and not much is packed, I hate road running, and there's no room on the side of the road. And I'm an idiot for not going out anyway. The White Out wasn't nearly as much fun as the Squall...
