A Selection of Video Game Urban Legends.

This week ends with the spookiest day of the year, Hallowe’en. So I thought what better way to kick off the week than to take a look at some video game themed urban legends…

A Quick Shoutout.

So, this is a little bonus post for this week but I just wanted to bring some attention to my boyfriend’s Twitch channel, TheMightyPie. I’m not great at these sort of ‘promotion’ things, so apologies for the slightly rambling mini-post!

He has recently decided to start streaming on Twitch, so he is still learning the ropes but he has now set up a streaming schedule. At the moment, my boyfriend is attempting a playthrough of the original Final Fantasy VII using only Cloud. This is his favourite game of all time and he knows the game inside out, so he often does these challenge runs to increase the difficulty for himself.

If you want to support someone who is just starting out with the whole streaming thing or are interested in watching someone play Final Fantasy VII, then you can check out TheMightyPie channel here. The next stream will be 8pm (BST) on Monday and hopefully, I will be able to talk to some of you guys in the chat!

Poll Update!

This is just a really quick update post about the two polls I had on my most recent Gaming Update post. Well, the results are in, so let’s take a look at what you guys have picked for me to play after I finish Biomutant.

Which of these shorter games should I play next on my PS4?

This first poll was all about a game that would take me about ten-fifteen hours to complete. The four options were:

• Shadow of the Colossus.
• Titanfall 2.
• The Order: 1886.
• New Super Lucky’s Tale.

Out of the two polls this was the one that had the most interest. Both Titanfall 2 and The Order: 1886both received one vote each, but with just two votes, Shadow of the Colossus was the winner.

Which of these JRPGs should I play next?

Here are the games that were the options for this poll:

• Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth.
• Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age.
• The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel.
• Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition.

This poll came down to two game, Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth and Dragon Quest XI; with one vote between them, Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth won the poll!

So, thos were the two games that you picked! I’ll probably start with Shadow of the Colossusand then move onto Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth, as I don’t want to play a JRPG after an open world RPG. I’d like to thank all those who took part in these two polls and keep an eye on the blog for these games in my Gaming Update posts!

Poll Results & A Quick Update.

This is going to be a very quick post, Firstly, I thought I would let you know the results from the poll on my Gaming in April 2021 post. Basically, with 100% of the votes, the next game I will be playing after Life is Strange is… Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice! I am actually really excited to play this game, as I’ve heard so many good things about it. To find out how I get on, check back for my May gaming update post.

The other thing I just wanted to mention is that there will be no posts next week. I just haven’t been able to have the time to sit down and write, without distractions. So, I’m going to have a week out of blogging and come back the week after with some posts ready.

That’s all I really wanted to talk about. I hope you guys have a great week and I will talk you the week after that! See you then!

Gaming in March 2021.

We’ve reached Apirl! Is it scaring anyone else that we’ve already made it through a quarter of this year? I’ll be honest, I haven’t spent as much time playing video games last month, so this post will be a little shorter than normal. Well, let’s take a look at what I did manage to play!

EXP Share: A Story Where An Event Left You In Shock.

We all love a good plot twist, well, this month DanamesX wants bloggers to share their favourite fictional moments that left them shocked. Let’s take a look at some shocking moments for me!

A Brief Break.

This is just a quick post to let you guys know, there won’t be any new posts on this blog until Monday. I haven’t been able to give the time needed to write some posts for this blog and I don’t want to just rush some posts for the sake of keeping to a schedule.

Apologies for the late update but next Monday we will be back on track with the Pokemon challenge and other geeky themed posts. See you soon!

Well, That Didn’t Go To Plan…

Last week I made apost about a new challenge I was going to complete: I was going to watch all of the Power Rangers series. In order for me to do this, I was going to watch the series on Netflix. Wll, it turns out that Netflix hasn’t renewed the rights to stream the majority of the Power Rangers series. And when I mean majority, I mean all of them apart from Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers and Power Rangers Beast Morphers. So, I’ve spent the last couple of days trying to find an alternative, legal, source to watch these shows on. Unfortunatly, it appears there is no streaming service, available in the UK that is currently streaming the Power Rangers series.

So, having exhausted my options, I’m afraid to say that for the time bing this challeneg is going to have to be puton hold. Rest assured that should Netflix, Amazon or another service available in the UK, pick up the rights to stream Power Rangers, then I will return to this challenge.

Anyway that is all I have to say. I just thought I’d better keep you updated with what is going on. I hope you guys have a great weekend and I’ll talk to you soon!

Nostalgia Strikes Again! A New Series of Posts…

A couple of days a go, I was watching some videos on Youtube when the algorithm suggested a video called Power Rangers RPG| Hyperforce: Welcome to Time Force Academy| Tabletop RPG (Premiere). OK, not the most catchy of titles but it definitely piqued my interest. My recent attempt of catching up with Critical Role has reignited my interest in tabletop RPGs and Power Rangers, especially Time Force, will always strike the nostalgie chord with me. Anyway, I ended up watching this two and half hour episode and loving watching a collection of Youtubers and Power Rangers actors comiong together to create a Power Rangers team. It also left me with an idea…

Gaming in December.

Its the final monthly gaming summary of 2020! Normally, December is a tough month for me to find time to play video games, however this time, I’ve not done too badly! So, let’s check out the final games I played in 2020…
