Cary’s Best Video Games of the Year 2012 SO FAR Awards Show!
Posted on July 1st, 2012 by
Welcome ladies and gentlemen, to the “Cary’s Best Video Games of the Year 2012 SO FAR Awards Show!” I’m your host for this ceremony, with guest stars like Cammy, Pac-Man, Maya the ghost, Tepig, Tails, Pascal, Asha, and Taki (well, not really, but every awards show needs celebrity guests). Can you believe the year is already half over? At this time of year, I like to honor the best games that have been released in the first half of the year. Why? Well, the best games usually tend to be released during the second part of the year, due to the holiday season and all. So the games released during the first six months sometimes tend to be forgotten. So this is their chance to shine. Now, keep in mind that this is MY list only. No other outside opinions contributed. And since I’m only one person, I can’t play ALL the games out there, so some of your favorites might have been missed. So without further ado, here’s my awards show!
Online Boardgaming – Live!
Posted on June 27th, 2012 by
OK, there are all those online tournaments that promote huge fan bases watching people play for thousands of dollars. I’m never going to be one of those people. However, I do get my moment in the sun…
Yes, my favorite hobby, boardgaming, has reached that next level – whatever that is. Thursday evening (Tomorrow – June 28th) at 7:30pm EST, Northstar Games will be hosting a live video feed promoting their new edition of Wits & Wagers. They’ve recruited big names from all over the boardgame blogosphere, and myself for some reason, for a live competition of the new Wits & Wagers Party. Read on for details and the link…
Game Genres I Don’t Like (and what it would take to get me to play them)
Posted on June 25th, 2012 by
Ever since I read about a NES strategy game called Nobunaga’s Ambition in a Nintendo Power as a kid, I have never had a desire to play the series. It just looked totally un-fun to me. I mean, who would ever want to play that, I thought to myself. Well apparently it’s very popular as the series is still strong to this day. But I swore I’d never buy it. Until last week, when I did. What caused me to buy a Nobunaga’s Ambition game? Well, they put Pokemon in it! Yup, Pokemon Conquest is one of the weirdest crossover games I’ve ever played. Warlords from feudal Japan paired up with Pokemon? Yeah, I had to try that. But it got me to thinking about other game genres I really don’t like, and what it would take to get me to play them. So I wrote a blog about it!
The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses Orchestra Concert in Austin, TX
Posted on June 23rd, 2012 by
Remember back in January when I was bummed that I missed the Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses concert in Dallas, TX, and I wrote a blog about what kind of tunes I would have in my OWN Zelda concert? Well, thanks to the generosity of one of my good friends, he and I drove to the Zelda orchestra concert that was just in Austin, TX this weekend! Click to read more of what we heard!
