What Two Decades of Videogames Have Taught Me! Read it at Hubpages.com now!

Well, hello there! Have I been missed?

I took a two week hiatus to get some personal life stuff straightened out and to start working on a videogame. The videogame is going to be a sci-fi action RPG. Given that I'm using a game engine, don't expect it to be cutting edge, as I have beginner's programming skills. With that said though, I'm chipping at it a bit at a time, so at least you'll be able to feel the love. :P

In other news, I have published my 99th hub over at Hubpages.com. It's all about things I have learned by playing videogames for two decades. If you want to read it and get a few laughs (I hope), check it out by clicking any part of this sentence.

Also, I've been playing Dragon Quest IX on and off, and have acquired Mortamor's Map. Unless your party is over level 75, I don't recommend even looking at him. He hurts something fierce! Wi-Fi has been very kind to me as well by allowing me to acquire a bunch of weapons I otherwise wouldn't be able to get.

That's without mentioning the EIGHT birthday cakes and party poppers I got for my special day in Dragon Quest IX as well. :)
Darned developers thought of everything, didn't they? :D

Anyways, I hope you guys (and girls) are doing great and having lots of fun! As for me, I'll be signing off for now. :)

Until the next time, take care and have fun! ;)

Blog Name Changed and other Videogame Thoughts.

The post title says it all: I have decided to change the name of this blog.

You see, my original intent with this blog was to talk about videogames and what-not. However, ever since I started writing over at hubpages.com, I've realized that this blog has turned into more of a gateway for my articles and other videogame related things I can think up. Anyways, while the other title had more mystique, this one is more down to earth and describes the blog better, don't you think? :)

In other news, for those of you who follow me over at hubpages.com, you've probably realized that I've stopped updating my Fallout walkthrough. Bad things happened and, while I managed to back up my save files, I had to reformat my computer, so that's going to be delayed indefinitely. I might write up a summary of the rest of the plot to help out those who were following my walkthrough. You have my most solemn apologies, and I will come up with some way to compensate for this occurrence as soon as I can. :)

Anyways, I hope you like the new look of the blog (and by new I mean I took out the Adsense and have been dabbling with other ad companies).

Until the next time, take care and have fun! ;)

Well, a day it is, but I posted it. :P

Happy new year to everyone who follows this blog! :)

On a note very much related to the subject of this blog:

If someone has any tips on how to clear the 4th Lokomo Song in Spirit Tracks, I'd much appreciate it. :P

Billy vs SNAKEMAN

Hi guys!

Well, considering I'm back, I should write a post related to a new MMO I've started playing recently.

Billy vs SNAKEMAN is an MMO game that's loosely based off of the Naruto anime and manga series. It parodies anime in general and has reference to many other TV series and videogames as well.

You can go on Missions, and some of them are parodies of common situations that you may or may not have seen on TV before. One that comes to mind is having to clean up a Ninja's house after he has thrown a party. Another one involves forcing down rations which supposedly taste terrible.

It's a pretty lighthearted game that has many minigames that open up as you level up and advance.

In my opinion, you should try it out for yourself though. Hearing me talk isn't a fair indicator of the game's quality. ;)

You can click the link below to join now! :)



Be the Ultimate Ninja! Play Billy Vs. SNAKEMAN today!

I'm back...I think. :)

I apologize to all for leaving this blog in disarray for so long, but college has eaten away at my time. Hopefully in a few weeks I'll be back to talk about videogames and trading card games once again. :)

That's all from me for now. Take care and have fun!!
