Hey fellow Otaku, we have some great news! Colorado Anime Fest (March 24 - 26 at the Renaissance Denver Stapleton Hotel) has released the Program and Schedule for their 2017 event! Both of these can be found here.
What can you expect this year? Well lets start with guests.
Read MoreHi everyone! I've had a week away from home, which means that I've done very little in terms of gaming or anything else. All that I have to report is that I've played through the first zone of Call of the Wild and had a lot of fun doing it. I managed to find a lot of things that Crystal did not, which makes me feel pretty good. However, we received our Nintendo Switch while I was away, so I'm going to end up starting the game over anyways. That's alright though, being an hour or so in, I'm not going to feel too frustrated. The game is pretty and such a joy to play, that I'm going to enjoy every minute of the opening chapter again on my replay. Come back next week, when I've hopefully had time to play a little more. Have a great week, and game one!
Last week I actually did receive a Nintendo Switch. And while the jury is still out for me if the system is still worth it, I did do an unboxing and setup video for it. Enjoy!
Hello readers! Welcome to Nintendo Switch launch weekend. I'm still waiting for my console to arrive, fingers crossed that it actually does. There was a bit of a mix up with our credit card to make the payment with, so, not sure that its going to go through. In light of that, we purchased a copy of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild for Wii U. We are also horribly impatient people and could not wait a few more days to receive our Switch. Instead, Crystal has spent most of the day playing, and I've been watching her. The game is very big. Remarkably big. And the designers have done a very good job at rewarding players for exploring.
I haven't really done much else this week. I've had a long week, with a trip up to Badlands National Park and having to dedicate a lot of time to reading scientific papers in preparation for preparing a conference paper. That's all for now. Have a great week and game on!
Hi readers! Sorry for the lack of article last week, but I found myself rather busy during the President's Day weekend with various other things. I'm back on track now and have spent a bit of time having fun again. So, let's talk about that.
Read MoreHello readers! I've had another busy week, but found some time spend some time with video games. So let's talk about that.
Read MoreHi readers. This has been a busy week and weekend for me. I really don't have much to report on. I've finally finished reading the Robert's Rules of Order: Newly Revised, which is sort of like the Player's Handbook for debate and assembly. If reading these types of books is something that you dig, you might enjoy this. But, that's all I've really got for this week. Have a great week and game on!
Hello readers, and welcome to this weeks installment of The Professional Gamer. It has been a hell of a week, so let's take a break and talk about geeky stuff for a bit. This has been a week where a large portion of my time has been spent following the latest of the outrageous news coming from Washington; but, in order to maintain my own mental health, I did spend some time relaxing. Let's talk about that instead.
Read MoreThe 2020 Olympics are still a few years out, but one does not rest when getting ready to prepare for the largest sporting event a nation can host! And normally, I wouldn't care about it either (OK, that is lie, but I don't go out of my way to watch it). So how do you get people like me interested in what is happening with the Olympics? You relate it to something that I am interested in!
Read MoreHi Readers! We've certainly had an eventful week. I hope everyone enjoyed the Nintendo Switch demo. We are very excited about Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild in our house. And, surprisingly, I'd rather have a subtitled version of the game rather than one that has been dubbed in English, at least based on the voice acting performances that were evident in the previews. The Japanese voice actors just put a lot more emotion into their performances.
Other than salivating about some cool new games, I've played some more Fantasy Life. I've even managed to master a couple of the lives in the game. I'm feeling like things are a little bit of a grind currently, but much of that is due to getting further along in the game and having more asked of me in order to advance my character.
In Elite: Dangerous, I'm starting to explore the galaxy, and slowly make my way to the Colonia cluster. My current intermediate destination is the Pipe Nebula. I'm purposely going very slow, plotting an economical route and scanning every feature in each system that I travel through. And, I've decided to start streaming my adventures in the stars on Twitch. I'll post notes when I'm streaming on Twitter so you all can follow my adventures.
That's all for now. Have a great week and game on!
