Neon Abyss Demo Review

               I heard about this game through Twitch Streamer, YouTuber and Winner of Big Brother 10 and runner up of Season 14, Dan. As you all know I am a huge fan of his and been watching his content for years now and never miss a daily video. Anyways he introduced to his Twitch viewers and I was in his room and I've seen him post up. Anyways the game is Neon Abyss which is a rogue like shooter game. It's like Spelunky and it is more Isaac like as I have had the privilege to try a Demo of the video game. I really like it and in the last week or so I have actually gotten time to try it out and today I got to play and got up to 4 levels down but there is a time limit for the demo but as of today I believe it is released and I need to see how much it is actually to decide whether I am getting it or not right away but either way I like this game. I had a lot of fun and it reminds me of Spelunky and also The Binding of Isaac and I enjoyed my time playing it. I actually got to 4 levels and also beat it in under an hour as I did a speed run. Only issues I have with the game is the coin amount below I cannot see but I think it has to do with the size of the game window which probably can be fixed.


              Anyways this demo I get the grasp of the game and it definitely has a similarity to Isaac and honestly I enjoyed it, I would definitely get this game even if it goes down in price I would actually get it but if it is like 70 something dollars but I think I will wait it out but we'll see as I said today it is coming out or tomorrow around today it is suppose to be coming out. I'd love to do a playthrough of this game on my own spare time. I would give this game a 10 out of 10 and I cannot wait to play it. I might just get the game actually expensive or not I may put some money aside and get it. Once I started to play I got hooked right away. Now I cannot say too much as I am limited what I am currently am playing but the floating eggs reminds me of the orbitals and the actually the bosses were just like on the Binding of Isaac actually. Whenever I get this game, I promise to do a more of a thorough assessment of this game and give it a proper review then this one. Least this gives you a taste of what I've seen so far through the demo copy. Maybe if one day a gaming company may give me a early access to review you never know could be a path but I wanna do more reviews, maybe movies, TV Shows and even video games in the very nearby future.

The Sims 4, Spelunky & The Binding of Isaac Rebirth Updates!

              So this is the update I have been sitting on for days now as you know with my break came some gaming and what I was up to while I was on my social media hiatus. Anyways here is the updates I would like to give you guys on today's blog:


The Sims 4: I finished up the house that I was building is now completed and already have had sims moved in but majority of them moved out as they were married. As you know the purpose of that house was to actually move in CBOTW Team but like I said they are now moved out and I re did my Sim and he's married and a kid on the way.

Spelunky: Made some necessary progress with the game and I am happy to say I have finally reached the forest level after raging at the game enough I managed to play more of a strategic game and approach. However I ended up dead at the start but I think I got close enough to the end gate of each and every level. In time I will continue to get stronger and better with the game but I was so excited when I did.

The Binding of Isaac Rebirth: I can say this, I am excited for the progress of this game. I fought with Lazarus and I beat Mom with him and also Magdalene aka Maggie. I am so pumped with this game and I continue to improve and dominating the game and I am on a tear on the game. Not sure but my A-Game with gaming is strong to quite strong right now.


               Either way I am excited to continue on the gaming path. I am so pumped up with the way things are improving and the more I play the more I am getting better at the games. So those are my exciting updates and I am red hot, no I am steaming hot at my video games I am playing right now. Note I also just recently started playing Grand Theft Auto 5 (GTA 5) again from scratch and I have a plan moving forward with the game and a reason why I am starting it over from scratch. It is a post for later on when I progress in my second play through of this game.

The Sims 4-- Biggest House Build Yet!

             So I have started working on a huge house but before I get into that, it was actually the old Sims 4 Big Brother House which was torn down right back down to the ground as I wanted to build a bigger compound for the CBOTW Staff as their house isn't too big and their technically in a tiny house at the moment. So the house they are in well the rest of them as my guy is overseeing the construction of this house will return when the house is built and ready to move in. Trust me it is looking pretty wicked right now. I have added an full legit basketball court in the back yard which will have a roof over top to protect them from the rain and snow. I also have a rock climbing unit as well added in there and a garden built right in there. Just gotta get seeds to start planting away but that will be when it opens officially. Right now it's bare bones of the house and been working on and off but recently been busy with my duty of CBOTW recently and it isn't easy to have time to work on it but hopefully soon when things die down a bit in our craziness we call Chris B On The Web! So there isn't any paint or brick or even many windows minus about 4 in the back but still work in progress really. 


             I wanna change a few things and the layout of the house so I am going to gut the entire inside of the house again and start from scratch. I just do not like the layout and I feel like moving the basketball court sideways to be honest and make the house a bit bigger in size but able to fit things in the backyard but we will have to wait and see. I need to gut the house first and I wanna make a front hall way. I may just destroy everyone what I built and restart and maybe not much of a backyard perhaps? Again I just started to re-think this entire house situation, I may end up seeing an entire demolition or just a partial but again I will assess that once I get done my workload for the podcasts. So that is what I am up to and I guess I will have to fill the other house with more sims but I will cross that bridge when that comes. I hope you guys enjoyed this post and I will talk to you guys Monday.

The Binding of Isaac Rebirth Progress!

              So lately while watching Power Rangers Time Force to get the season underway and moving well. I did a Azael run and boy I went on a tear first time around. I also did a normal Isaac run and had a decent run so that is very good. I have actually unlocked a couple of things. Honestly I dunno what happened to the Vanilla Isaac, the original. Apparently I left it and it automatically 100% Golden God so that is why I am now on Rebirth so the game glitched out on me apparently. Anyways I am having some really good deep runs and I like Rebirth better then Isaac. I think it is one of my most favorite games of all times out of the two that I have played. I feel like it is a ton better then the original but yet again the second one is always better as they sure change things around this time around. 


               Either way I will not give it any review at this point as I want to get further into the game but I promise you guys soon enough you will get a review.  Finally I would like to say I find myself playing this game more and more and hey I got some time on my hands right now even while watching the shows to get a collab done which buys a lot of time and gives me something to do honestly. Also I have actually knocked off a few challenges in the process but also found myself struggling with the one challenge with the orbital tears which is hard to control but I am getting use to it and one day I will get use to it. However with brimstone, I have become a pro at it and I love it and really good and whenever I get the chance with that item then I take it without any hesitation as I am really good with it. When I first used it, I wasn't good at it but now, I'm a pro at it all together. There is my post for today and I guess I will see you Monday as I am off tomorrow as my staff is taking over the blog tomorrow so have a great Sunday and talk to you guys Monday.

Euro Truck Simulator Video Game Review

                 Here is my Euro Truck Simulator video game review. As you know I started with American Truck Simulator then moved over but I play both games, I'll rotate from time to time. However I have had fun with both versions of the game and the Euro Truck Simulator a bit more because you end up taking a boat and train for travel with the truck so it makes it a bit cooler really. This one is a bit different from the American version as the Euro you drive on the opposite side of the road. Honestly it took me sometime to get use to it and yes there was times I was on the wrong side of the road but that's OK. Either way I enjoy the game it is fun and gives me something to do on my spare time. Now review wise I'd give this a 8 out of 10 because I find it hard with directions especially with using the train or the ferry so I found it really tough to do that but either way I am happy. 


                 Overall I am pleased with the game and I know I didn't give it a full 10 but I cannot give all these reviews 10 all the time really. However it still deserves a fair rating and that I did for sure. I found the price of the game was very reasonable on Steam and if you like driving games this is the game I recommend to play this. Not much more I can say but this game is fun and you can spend hours driving around and deliver the trailers. I found a way to turn off the speeding tickets so now I can speed at my own risk and you can imagine how fast I go, sometimes 80 - 90 miles per hour... LOL. Anyways I hope you guys enjoyed this post and I will see you on tomorrow's post.

Pooligans Video Game Review

                 I do not really consider this a video game, game maybe but yea it is technically a video game but whatever you wanna call it. However I have been very addicted to it. It has been fun and something to do really. It gives me something to do. At first I wasn't very good at it but now I am getting better at it as the time continues on. Only issue I have with it is the amount of the game requests I was getting, it was very annoying in a way but hey it is the only way I am going to get better is to play other users online. There was a few times where they quit on me as I was way ahead of them but that was their choice. I find myself playing this game even when I am working on watching Power Rangers and get moving on those I find it easy to just stop playing if I need to switch the game. This game is very addicting and the best part of it all is it's FREE on Steam! Yep that's right it's FREE, ALL FREE!


                So the review of this game is 10 out of 10 like I said it is addictive and fun to play for many hours. I think I found a game I can play for hours on and end I think once I went 6 or 7 straight games winning which got boring constantly but either way I highly recommend this game on Steam is where you can find this game. Really tho I haven't had the time to really sit down and play it but with me working on Power Rangers Podcast, I am sure I will have plenty of time to actually play it till it is time for me to type up notes but that's another story for another day.

I Lost 5 Sims Back To Back... SMH

                  Few weeks ago I lost 5 sims. That's a lot especially for playing a game of Big Brother. Apparently the game glitched out and 5 of the sims above died back to back which was insane and I wish I had my reaction to that on camera honestly. It was the most ridiculous thing ever. By the end of all of that 2 remained and wasn't right as we had no jury really left to vote and wouldn't have been fair. So I ended up ending the season and the final 2 left. I had to investigate the house to why this happened. The stairs going up and down the two levels were apparently disappeared and that became the issue behind it all. Now I believe I shifted rooms and fixed up the house where the stairs are in plain site. There was a couple of issues with the landing anyways aka the upstairs. IF you were upstairs and looked down then you can see behind one of the walls so that had to be fixed so I readjusted rooms and tore walls down but the stairs should be OK and shouldn't glitch out and disappear on me but haven't been back to the big building I built. We have vacated the premises for now.


                 Trust me I was freaking the heck out over it and was quite an interesting experience to watch one sim after another collapse. It is what it is honestly and it really stunk things had to end up this way but never know I may end up going back to the building I may just tear it down and Larry and I worked really hard on this world too and it stinks but it is what it is in the end. Building still exists and stays empty and dark at this point of time. I just do not know if it will be used anytime soon as of the recent turn of events. Yes I realize its a game but it ticked me off the fact that the game took away my bloody stairs and it's the game's fault... This game has been riddled with glitches for years like the sims won't teleport as quickly. However I am getting into a rant and I just do not have the energy anymore to rant and I know you guys like them from time to time it boosts ratings... LOL. Anyways I will see you in my next post tomorrow.

Grand Theft Auto 4 Lost and Damned and Grand Theft Auto 5 Fails!

                 Recently been having issues with Rockstar Games Grand Theft Auto 4 and I recently completed the Nico missions and moved onto Lost and Damned and there was series of issues with the game in general and trust me I am not happy whatsoever with it. The first strike with this game and trust me there is a ton of problems I have had with it but the first issue it wouldn't let me save the game whatsoever and I had quite some good progress and was clearly enjoying the game so I am not sure what the issue was but really would like to do it one way or another. Not sure how to fix it honestly.  The second issue I had was a saved game couldn't load and I had to start right from scratch all over again which is quite frustrating to be honest. I really was enjoying the playthrough of Lost and Damned as I had the full version of Grand Theft Auto 4 and now I would have to start all over if indeed I was able to fix the glitch in the game. I honestly have had issues with this game in the past on my old computer and my current PC I am having issues with as well. 


                The next part I wanted to rant about a bit is Grand Theft Auto 5. This morning I installed the game and couldn't play it. It told me to uninstall Rockstar Social and I tried and I have to uninstall all games associated with it so now if I wanted to play and trust me I have no plans on playing anytime soon as I am just fed up with the issues I am having and I am going to work on other games that I have just reinstalled recently and there was a bunch that I did reinstall on my computer that I can play and GTA has my dissatisfaction but it is what it is and the game is back on the shelf. It is a fail on my part and maybe one day I will fix the issue but right now is not the moment.

Addicted To Pooligans Game!

                I've been wanting to talk about this for ages but I am addicted to Pooligans. What is it you may ask? Well it's a game of Pool. It is really a ton of fun and I am getting better at it as time goes on. I have been patient and I really find myself playing it when I can and I usually play several rounds a day, maybe sometimes more. However I enjoy it and I've played it in real life before with my Sunday group I use to go out with back then and I found it fun. Yes the game itself can be hard at times and there has been times where the other opponent just quit on me and I got the win which is a good thing. I've got pretty good stats with wins too and I think once, I almost went 7 - 0 on the computer while practicing and seeing if anyone invites me into a game. I have been invited into several games but the most part, I practice a ton,


              Although, I haven't worked on it much lately, I've been too busy with projects for the website to play and hence the reason I haven't played in a few weeks and plus just finished Grand Theft Auto 4 so when projects slow down again, I will definitely get back to it. It has been some time and honestly I haven't even logged in at all but like I said I will eventually. The best part of this being on Steam, it's completely FREE! That's right, I said it! It's totally free and love the fact its a free game. How did I find it? I was searching around and accidentally and since then I have indeed become addicted to it. I just cannot play one game, it has to be more then one game apparently... LOL. However it's a fun game and a very addictive game to play. I know this isn't a long post but I hope you enjoyed this post and I highly recommend to play this if you are into pool.

Games I Wanna Get Most Definitely!

               Today, I am getting myself The Sims 4: University expansion and I was waiting honestly but with the recent sale going on with Origin, I am getting the gift card today for Origin and I left early today before meeting Eric today for the first time in 2020 since before Christmas holidays. I am honestly excited to get this since finding out that they have come out with this version of the game since The Sims 3 and honestly I was really hoping that they would do a version of this game and I am going to try and play a bit of it later on in the evening before bed and excited to send the kids on the Sims 4 to University but maybe even my sim should. However I need to re do majority of the households I am currently and there will be a ton of fires or what I will probably end up doing is erasing all the households that I made and start over from the start again but again I haven't been on the game in quite some time since I have been busy working on things for the website right now and trust me when all is said and done, I do plan on playing a bit once some of the podcasts are done for off season and I have officially started typing up the Power Rangers Podcast but right now things are a bit busy but I am sure Sunday, when Larry is here we will be playing it a ton as he will be excited I got the expansion Pack.


                 This is probably the best time to get the game as I said it is currently on sale but I may just  saved over 60 bucks for a video game which is good and I am glad it was on sale and came at the right time when I wanted to get the game. I always wait to see if there is a very special price I will definitely look into getting it. Also I may as well say this as well, I am looking into getting NHL 12 for the PC so I can play with my niece and/or Nephew but I looked at it and Amazon and it costs almost 140 bucks Canadian, however, I looked further and I messaged a gaming store locally see if they had it and the price so I hope I will be in luck and when you are reading this I haven't gotten a new message yet and hopefully I will by the late afternoon but again these posts are done early mornings or ahead of time depending on our schedule. Anyways these are the games I wanna get and in time I will definitely have both of the games but for right now I am primarily focusing on The Sims 4 at the moment.

Dead By Daylight Video Game Review!

          I do not have a ton of hours on this game whatsoever but it is time I give some kind of review. I honestly can say at the start was a great start. First time I played I escaped! I'm like this is too easy but the more I played it became a lot more tougher for me and I didn't know I had to repair the generator and get them all running so this way it shows where you have to go. So I was a bit of a noob at this game and still am but getting better and better at it and I like this game especially for this time of the year as you all know Halloween is tomorrow and I love the horror video games too. Now the fact I know how to play this game, helps me a ton and I mean it really helped. Why do I say that? Well now that I know to repair the generators that really helps me find the door especially. It isn't that hard minus having to run away from that weird looking creature. I am really happy that Rocky got me into this game and I really enjoy it. However I have only played 9.5 hours of the game and need to get back into it honestly. I am planning to hopefully play with him this week but depends on my sleep schedule and my schedule in general as you know I am very busy with planning another collab down the road in December. Anyways I think it is kind of hard to rate this game at this point but it is truly an enjoyable game and if I was to rate it I would but right now probably out of 5 I would rate it a 4 as it is a tough game at times and you have to really think and watch you're back.


         However I have just started playing Dead By Deadlight and I just gotta get back into the game a lot more honestly and with me watching Lightspeed Rescue, I know I can play a bit and take notes at the same time I'm sure and I know I try and play a ton more. The more I play, the more I will be able to get better and also I need to start upgrading the characters which that will do a ton of good for me in the game and I think I am like only level 2 or 3 on the two main characters I am playing at this point so it surely doesn't help whatsoever to have low levels on the characters so that is definitely going to have to be a goal for me to rank em up big time to ensure the more the better. I realize too I have to upgrade different skills which I have started to do so I am on my way but yet again like I said from my point of view I have to play a ton more and that is definitely in the plans for me moving forward that I am going to make time to play even for an hour a day is good as I know working non stop is not a good thing and I do need to take a break and not burn myself out whatsoever.

The Binding of Isaac: REBIRTH First Impressions!

                 So Sunday, December 31st, 2017, I got 100 dollars on my steam wallet and bought tons of games, Bomber Squad, Need For Speed Pursuit, The Binding of Isaac Re-Birth, Player Grounds Unknown also know as PUBG to most of the gaming community and The Walking Dead. Now today I am primarily focusing on The Binding of Isaac: Re-Birth and what my first impressions are of the game as I played it for the very first time ever. 


                  First I had a problem trying to shoot out the gumball shots as I call it, and on the vanilla Isaac, I can use the mouse, but however on the second one, you have to pretty much use the arrows to shoot, but as I got use to it, I found it more accurate to the targets and made me think, hey I think I am going to use the method as I finish up vanilla Isaac and Platinum God the game before moving onto Re-Birth. Hope this new find on this game will help me complete the game at a quicker but more accurate pace from here on out.


                   The next point I would like to make is there are new characters in this game, I am introduced to such as Dingle which can be a tricky little bugger at times but learning how to deal with him. Also Gurdy Jr. has changed quite a lot from the first Binding of Isaac. Also there is our personal favorites like Monstro, Monstro II, The Duke of Flies, Larry Jr and so forth. 

           
                     The third and final point I would like to make on this blog is the graphics are totally different darker, but as you move there's a light around you but also there is twinkles around and bigger rooms are now available as well which makes it a bit more challenging but you also get more enemies to kill on the game as well. The game also introduces a black heart which I got no clue what it does still but in time I will learn what it's for and what it does. In one day, I got to Mom in one day which is a new record which means, my Isaac skills are strong to quite strong and getting stronger day by day. In conclusion I'd definitely give this game a 10/10 as I fell in love with the game right off the bat soon as I got right into the game.

Minecraft On PC or Minecraft on PS3? Which One Do I Prefer?

             So on Christmas Day, I got to play the PS3, which I have played Playstation before, however I haven't had played Minecraft before on the PS3 and boy let me tell you, it is totally different from playing Minecraft the PC! Aiming the character's head to you are looking the right way is hard. Getting wood and actually staying alive in the game is utterly impossible, there was times I gave the remote to my nephew where I needed to rest as I was ready to rage quit at certain times of playing the game. But I got the hang of it eventually but I ended up dying quite a lot as I had no armor whatsoever and it was quite hard compare to the armor I am use to on Minecraft here on my studio computer, but I tried as hard as I can to help my niece and nephew, first goal was to get wood and even for me that proved impossible even for this Minecraft expert. I went back to complete Minecraft noob mode once again. I felt entirely helpless without the tools and armor I had. Plus trying to get food from scratch isn't easy and trying to bring the animals into the pens to build a farm to have animals and a liable food source as well. But you guys know me I am always up for the challenge and I was and it was a learning curve for me.


               Now which one would I prefer to use? Well obviously the PC version of Minecraft as I am currently use to and I got strong to quite strong of armor which I have had since beating the wither last year at some point. That armor will never ever break, it's break less and my sword will never break either, so either of the two items will break anytime soon. So I am use that, but also the surroundings around the house, the property I am in, the underground tunnels I have dug out, so I am use to that. That is the reason why I rather play on PC, however it was a learning curve and I am always open to new experiences like this so I actually enjoyed it and learned how to use a remote more.
