SirFozzie Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 www.an8bitmind.com Fair warning, the most recent post will be a major sad for folks (it certainly is for me), but I hope you guys read it, for video game news/information with a, uniquely Fozzie-ian, let's say, view . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I love you like family and will visit your blog even though you thought Alpha Protocol was a good game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirFozzie Posted December 16, 2015 Author Share Posted December 16, 2015 We still disagree on that! Oh, and today's post. The Hits of 2015 (Part 1). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirFozzie Posted December 17, 2015 Author Share Posted December 17, 2015 Got the 2nd part of my Hits of 2015 up. Going to work a post in on the status of Sports Sims over the weekend. It will make a nice change of pace from my mom's wake and funeral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirFozzie Posted December 18, 2015 Author Share Posted December 18, 2015 Bunch of new posts up, including my reaction to the announcement of the Coleco Chameleon, a new retro game system that will be playing cartridges. (And yes, I TRIED resisting the Culture Club reference, for a whole 2 minutes and 45 seconds!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirFozzie Posted December 18, 2015 Author Share Posted December 18, 2015 Done a bunch of updates, small stuff like making sure that posts (mostly) have a preview image, and setting things up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirFozzie Posted December 19, 2015 Author Share Posted December 19, 2015 Couple new posts, as Fozzie succumbs to the Warcraft version of Tulip Mania, and starting the "16 for 2016" a four part series highlighting sixteen games due out in 2016. Part 1 features XCom2, Total War:Warhammer, Gears of War 4 and Deus Ex:Mankind Divided. Can you guess which game gives Foz that Han Solo "I've got a bad feeling about this" feeling? https://www.an8bitmind.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirFozzie Posted December 20, 2015 Author Share Posted December 20, 2015 Part 2 of 16 for 2016 will be up tonight, but wanted to provide the other 12 games I've put on the list. Uncharted 4: A Thief's End Street Fighter V Mirror's Edge Catalyst No Man's Sky (The new Order: 1886? Everyone talks about how beautiful it is, reminds me of the hype about Order) Doom Final Fantasy XV Mass Effect: Andromeda (Believe it when I see it) Tom Clancy's The Division Overwatch Cyberpunk 2077 Battleborn Mighty Number 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 I'm with you on Total War: Warhammer. It has every ingredient to be pretty damn amazing as far as TW's first entry into pure fantasy, but if they blow this it's going to be seen as a historic flop in some circles. If it comes out right though, oh it's gonna be really really right. They're asking full up $70+ Canadian for it so shit had better be real. And don't give me any of that Dawn of War Game of the Year hoseshit where half the core Warhammer races aren't even in the game either. That will not fly.

SirFozzie Posted December 20, 2015 Author Share Posted December 20, 2015 Part two of the "16 for 2016" series is up! We have Blizzard's shooter game (!), the final installment in the Nathan Drake Saga, the reboot of the best game nobody played, and the game that led Foz to coin the phrase "Hype Trainwreck" https://www.an8bitmind.com/index.php/2015/12/20/the-16-for-2016-part-two/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenalysis Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Warhammer- I agree it's going to end up being epic awesome or epic flop. I'm a little pessimistic on it- CA is very inconsistent- and they're due to lay an egg. I did play the SFV Beta today- I like what I saw, but among SF fans it's going to be a polarizing title because they got rid of so much. Also it's clear that they've got work to do engineering-wise, and about 4 weeks+ however old this build was before they go gold. I expect a rough first week to month but something they'll recover from. There also was a nasty glitch Xian discovered that needs to go as well, but that's doable.

SirFozzie Posted December 21, 2015 Author Share Posted December 21, 2015 Part three of the 16 for 2016 comes later today, but we have a new edition of "Wot I'm Playing", featuring the most dangerous game in the future that's not American Football, Slaughterball! https://www.an8bitmind.com/index.php/2015/12/21/wot-im-playing-slaughterball-deluxe-edition/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirFozzie Posted December 22, 2015 Author Share Posted December 22, 2015 Finally got the third part of the 16 for 2016 up, featuring No Man's Sky (don't believe the hype), Cyberpunk 2077 (Believe the Hype), Tom Clancy's The Division and Final Fantasy XV. https://www.an8bitmind.com/index.php/2015/12/22/the-16-for-2016-part-3/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death From Above Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 My biggest concern for No Man's Sky is that it turns out like a sci fi Just Cause 1 where you have this really massive world in which you do the same 3 things ten thousand times. If they manage to avoid this and there's enough variety to keep it interesting, it could be amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirFozzie Posted December 22, 2015 Author Share Posted December 22, 2015 A bonus post today.. the time warp strikes again, with the Dreamcast 2 (no, seriously!) https://www.an8bitmind.com/index.php/2015/12/22/ok-the-time-warp-is-confirmed/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxB Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 I remember when Cyberpunk was set in 2020. Which seemed like a long way away, 25 years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirFozzie Posted December 24, 2015 Author Share Posted December 24, 2015 Well a bit late, so I give you a bit of a christmas bonus to go with Part Four of the 16 for 2016.. some other 2016 releases that I'm looking forward to.. some for the right reasons... and some for all the wrong reasons. https://www.an8bitmind.com/index.php/2015/12/24/the-16-for-2016-part-four-plus-bonus/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirFozzie Posted December 25, 2015 Author Share Posted December 25, 2015 So, the steam sale has fully begun, and I'm putting my wallet on double secret probation. Why? Because over half the games on my wishlist are at least 50% off for the next week. https://www.an8bitmind.com/index.php/2015/12/25/looking-at-the-steam-winter-sale-and-fozs-wishlist/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirFozzie Posted December 26, 2015 Author Share Posted December 26, 2015 We have an update on the Steam account security problems suffered on Christmas Day. Doesn't LOOK like a major data breach (of credit card details), but even if not (wait and see).. a huge black eye for Steam on probably the worst possible day for them. https://www.an8bitmind.com/index.php/2015/12/26/steam-suffers-major-account-security-issue/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirFozzie Posted December 27, 2015 Author Share Posted December 27, 2015 Going to be running a six hour twitch stream on Wednesday night. Details in the an8bitmind post.

SirFozzie Posted December 27, 2015 Author Share Posted December 27, 2015 We have info on Rise of the Tomb Raider, the closing of a Sleeping Dogs series MMO Spinoff, Marvel’s agreement with LittleBigPlanet ending, and Star Wars Episode VII news, and Foz announces something shameful. https://www.an8bitmind.com/index.php/2015/12/27/sunday-funday-links-and-information/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirFozzie Posted December 27, 2015 Author Share Posted December 27, 2015 So. Much. Rage. Parents buy "PS4" at Target. 9 year old shrieks in joy. Then they open the box, and inside is a wooden block with crudely drawn genitalia on it. https://www.an8bitmind.com/index.php/2015/12/27/so-much-rage/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirFozzie Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 We begin the post-Christmas dead zone as winter finally shows up in New England... with a new Harmonix game, and a game named Hardware:Rivals that doesn't involve console fanboys beating the holy beejezus out of each other for a live studio audience. Unfortunately. https://www.an8bitmind.com/index.php/2015/12/28/the-post-christmas-dead-zone/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
