Life just throws you a curve ball and has you so busy that you have to put a few things to the side in order to carry on. Well, I hope that was the end of my blogging slump. In less than a 24 hours, it is a New Year. So let's get a blog crackin'! ;)
My last post was about Beyond: Two Souls. Oh, snap! That was a long time ago! Especially in the tech/gaming/entertainment/Sports/Nerd/Jock arena.
So what's happened since the last time I blogged?
The PlayStation 4 and X-Box One have launched, both too stellar success. Looks like console gaming is far, far from dead. The Saskatchewan Roughriders won a Grey Cup, which was pretty sweet. The Green Bay Packers battled the Chicago Bears to get into the play offs. What a war it was! Killzone: Shadow Fall came out and rocked my world, both on and offline. The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug was released. Sadly I wasn't able to see it in 48fps, I really wanted to. Pokemon X/Y and The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds where released. I had to dust off my 3DS for those masterpieces! On the Vita, Tearaway, Runner 2, Terraria and Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate have kept me busy, busy and more busy.
So 2013... Hmm... Elysium was cool. Summer 2013 movies felt lacking though. Gravity was probably the best thing I've seen all year. The Last of Us is easily "The Game of The Year". Killzone: Mercenary is my favourite "Shooter and Portable Game of The Year". Tearaway was my favourite "Platformer of The Year".
A whole bunch of Google, Apple and Microsoft stuff happened. I did get the new Nexus 7, which was a huge improvement since the first gen. I picked up the 32gb edition on a flash sale, it was discounted by 50 dollars. Nice! We got a Retina-Display iPad Mini for Christmas. Damn, it's good stuff! Microsoft's Surface Pro 2 came out, which I really want but I don't have deep pockets. :(
The best parts of 2013, are family.
My little girl will be turning 3 soon and she's the coolest! She loves Batman, Barbie, Astroboy, My Little Pony, Sonic The Hedgehog and she really just got into Teen Titans big time now. It's busy, tiring but its a heck of a lot of fun being a daddy! I made sure the first video game she ever played was Pac-Man. There. Good for me. ;) BTW, she loves the new Pac-Man cartoon The Ghostly Adventures. It's being made by people of my generation, so there are plenty of in-jokes and references to 80's pop culture which brings a smile to my face. Plus, it's pretty cool stuff. :)
Plus, I'm an Uncle finally! I can't wait to see my baby nephew and spoil him! He was literally just born a few days ago. I've seen pictures and he is beautiful, looks just like his mommy!
So long 2013! Here's to 2014!
