PixlBit

    I couldn’t get into the Intellivision games on the Intellivision Lives! Collection on PS2, but I did on the DS version. The reason is the touch screen which serves perfectly as the key pad from the original Intellivision controller.

    I’m a little late in posting this because of funk I’ve been in. More of that below.

8:39 am - I've been waking up from sleep after four hours lately. I should've stayed in bed the other four hours, but I didn't. I was a little tired all day. I hate being that way, but a venti iced coffee got me through all right. I had breakfast at a local joint and then caught up on some Pixlbit messages on my laptop at Starbucks for a few hours.

12:30pm: Ate a small pizza from my favorite Greek style (deep dish) pizza place, Real Pizza - mushroom and green pepper. Washed it down with a liter of diet coke. Booted up my Xbox 360 while I ate and looked at some video. Watched the COD: Advanced Warfare trailer on the IGN app. Everyone says it looks like Halo. I guess so, but just because the soldiers have some enhancements that let them jump far and have super strength doesn't make it Halo to me. I did see one character that reminded me of Marcus Fenix from Gears of War though.

     Today I listened to a Retronauts podcast which guest stars Rachel Weil who created the web site Femicom.org, a resource of video games through time created specifically for female gamers. 

2:15pm: Setting up my silver Gamecube and lunch consisting of cheesesteak, Samuel Adams Double Agent IPL beer, Tostitos Artisan Recipe Roasted Garlic & Black Bean chips and hummus dip, and a 32 oz Powerade Zero. Yum!

     Both Indy and Layton are professors, but one fights with his fists outside of class and the other prefers a battle of wits; one wields a whip and gun and the other a brain. I think I wanted Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy to be more like an Indiana Jones graphic adventure like the LucasArts games.

    May’s looking pretty good for new releases. I’ve got four I’m keeping close tabs on and one I’m preordering for sure. Which one is it? Read on.
