I'll always keep my Wii because I don't want to go through that hassle of transfering my virtual console games to the Wii-U. I like it's compact size but I'm not a big fan of the controllers. I have a classic controler for whatever supports it. I have so many titles in my library to check out still.
Yea. I'm a little bit older and still enjoy them. The whimsical and colorful designs are, I guess, a formula to appeal to kids under 12 or so (that's when my nephew stopped following it). I guess I should be a serious male adult and go find a good cash flow to take part in. Bah! I've always been an artistic type. There's no accounting for me in the mainstream.
According to wiki, Carlos Jaime Alazraqui did the voice for the Taco Bell dog. I know him from Reno 911 as the Garcia character. Oh yea, he did the original Spyro the Dragon games as Spyro. Interesting. In Skylanders he does Hot Dog and Fiesta. Cool! He has a very long list of voice credits in TV, film and video games. Thanks for making me look him up.
Can you steal cars in Lego Undercover?
Fist of Jesus. Lol.
If I ever get some kind of stable job that I dig, I'll set up a room with all the retro systems ready to go. Right now, it's just Mark, I and XBO and it's really hard to do anything else. Just not enough time. Come to think of it, "Mark, I and XBO" sounds like a tv show title. Maybe "Mark, XBO and I" sounds a little better. I basically stick with whatever he's playing. On my own, I try to do some gaming but I always run out of time.
Your work situation sounds sort of similar to mine. I had to leave it and now I'm starting another job which I'm uncertain of. I keep trying to figure out something more important to do work wise, but I just can't seem to find my thing.
I wanted to get into streaming but my friend Mark, who I game with regularly, wasn't into it. I guess it's just as well because that can become sort of a commitment. I like to do whatever I want on game day.
It's kind of depressing that blogging seems to be less of thing, especially in the game space. I'm continually searching for some way to write. I'm doing a kind of newsletter thing right now because I want to touch on more things than just "what I played today". I'm considering learning some journalism. Maybe I can write something for a site like Game Grumps. I figure I'm too old to be a games journalist for real. I might do some fiction though. I don't know. . .
Good luck with jobs. These things suck ass for the most part. I'd like to go find an island and become a hermit.
Duck Dynasty with Minecraft style character art. Or is it kind of paper crafty.
I just want The Penetrator from Bulletstorm (it's the upgraded stake gun) in a scifi/horror game, and that three bladed sword that shoots swords in the movie Sword and the Sorcerer for a fantasy/horror game. There'll be all the gibs.
Yea, I was imagining some suits at Activision looking for licenses they could use for a game that used sellable toys. Spyro just happened to be available and cheap. I'll look it up for real sometime though. Probably an interesting story.
I wish I had more time for anime. Games has filled up all my entertainment space.
