RSM Part 1 – My Loot! :D

I had a blast this weekend! We went to Gothenburg to go to RSM, a retro game convention and probably as close to nerd heaven on earth you can get! ❤ Tons of games, tons of people and tons of fun! In this post I'm gonna show you what I bought! 😀 I always start saving for RSM the day after the con basically, just alittle here and there to make sure I can go each year. This year I did not go as crazy with the shopping as last year, I had a budget and I only went alittle above it! 😀 Here is what I got:

This was really cool, it’s the press-release version of Fairytale Fights for ps3, and it looks like a book! 😀 I also got a new screen for my Game Boy, a Zelda Iphone shell and A FREE BATMAN! 😀 ❤ Yay! Haha Photobucket Pictures, Images and Photos Even though I don’t have a C64 yet I just had to buy these two games, the fronts were just priceless so I had to have them! The I.Ball dude kind of looks like batman right?? I mean the design of him, exept from the fact that he is a ball! He even have the same crooked half smile! And this mermaid was just so….. wow! The look on that poor divers face, pure panic! xD I also got YOSHI SLIPPERS and Rush n’ Attack for nes! ^^ Photobucket Pictures, Images and Photos I also found some Vectrex games! The Armor Attack + overlay my sister sneaked off and got for me and then hid in my bags! I was so scared when I found it when I was unpacking later, for a few seconds I thought I had accidentally stolen it! xD Haha! Thank you again sis! <3<3<3<3<3 Photobucket Pictures, Images and Photos And here we have the traditional gaming themed head wear I have gotten each year so far on RSM! This year I got a Mario beanie! 😀 I also found inFamous: First Light REALLY cheap! 😀 I added 2 gaming cups to my collection and Tetris coockie cutters! Photobucket Pictures, Images and Photos I also bought 2 Sega Megadrive games, Lemmings 2: The Tribes and Zoop! I have no idea what Zoop is, some kind of puzzle game it seems. I was just really drawn to the front! 🙂 I also got some japanese Gameboy games, Hamtaro something, “another random game with a hamster” 1 and 2, Kirby’s Dreamland and something I’m guessing might be a cooking game! xD The awesome Likilato was also at RSM and he was selling games at the Söders Spel & Skivhandel booth! After I did some shopping at his booth I got to choose a game for free in his loot box, I went with Stuart Little 2 for Ps1! Thank you again Likilato! ^^ Photobucket Pictures, Images and Photos This year I bought alot of games that I felt was visually beautiful or funny, I took a dive in a Snes box and found alot of cool looking games, the two most beautiful was definetly Romancing Saga 2 and 3! The japanese really have a talent for making stunning game fronts! The game to the right of them I have no idea what it is but it looked cool! xD I also got Tetris, some other “pretty front game” and the game with the boys on the front I bought because Seb said it was fun! 😀 I bought Titan just because the guy on the front was so funny! That facial expression is so awesome! xD And all dressed in what looks like some kind of latex suit! And of course… EXPLOTIONS! This game must be packed with action judging by the front! Haha! xD All these games I got at the retrospel.se booth! If you are swedish check out their online store! 😀 Photobucket Pictures, Images and Photos I’m very happy with my shopping this year, I met alot of very nice sellers and got some great deals! Thank you so much! <3<3<3 Photobucket Pictures, Images and Photos The cats were very happy when we came home, Gin became a “Gin-sticker” and stayed as close to me as he could until he finally purred me to sleep! That’s why I’m posting this blog post one day late, I had written about half of it when his superpower was too much for me and I just fell asleep! He is a grey fluffy little Jigglypuff! xD I did however manage to try one of my new tea cups before I was in dream land! ^^ Photobucket Pictures, Images and Photos Oh! Btw, did you spot all the batmans? He is hiding in every picture :)))

My Top 10 Favorites from E3 2014!

So E3 is over for this year! Sad in one way, but good in another! (It was kind of messing up my normal sleep schedule to stay up until 6am 4 days i a row!) xD I thought I would share my 10 favoites with you! ^^ (I tried to make it top 5 so it wouldn’t get so long… but it wasn’t possible! Haha!)

10. Fantasy Life
It looks so cute and I really like the idea and the gameplay! If Animal Crossing, a studio ghibli movie and any RPG game would all make a baby it would probably be like this game! And the music is made by the amazing Nobou Uematsu! I love his work and him making the music makes me want this game so much more!

9. White Night
I love the film noire style of this game, looks really cool! I also love horror games and this one has a puzzle element to it too! Sounds very promising! I really don’t know much about this game but I knew I had to get it after seeing just a few seconds of the trailer! ^^

8. Evolve
This game lookes like it could be really fun! A multiplayer battle royale, 3 on 1 one versus a BIG monster! Like an epic boss fight that could go on for like an hour maybe depending on the players! Looks very cool if you ask me!

7. Sunset Overdrive
A goofy cartoon zombie shooter, packed with silly weapons and awesome sense of humor??? YES please! 😀 It looks like sooo much fun to jump around doing crazy stunts killing hordes of zombies while doing it! Looks like I’m gonna have to buy myself a Xbox One after all! Haha! xP

6. Kirby and the Rainbow Curse
I never played a game entierly controlled by the stylus so I really don’t know if that’s good or bad.(I’ve heard many say it’s bad) But looking at the gameplay it looks awesome! I mean come on! A clay kirby! 😀 Soooo adorable! ^^

5. Ori and the Blind Forest
Omg this game looks so… beautiful! And I don’t just mean the graphics and the level design but the story as well! I love these kind of indie games who has an artistic feel to them! I really want to play this one! Warning, grab a tissue, the trailer is so sad! 😥

4. Yoshi’s Woolly World
Yoshi is my favorite! I always play him in any Mario Kart or Mario Party game! 😀 If I have the option to choose him I will! So him getting a new game for the Wii U is awesome news! And it looks sooo adorable with the knitted textures! ^^ I can’t wait to play it!

3. Both of the new Zelda Games
We got a veeery sneaky peak at the upcomming zelda game and it looked absolutely stunning! :O I love the open world idea, the thrill of exploration is something I really learned to love playing Skyrim ^^ The other Zelda game, Hyrule Warriors also looked like a really cool mash up of to game series! I mean come on, who doesn’t love a good hack’n slash game ;D And throw in some Zelda in the recepie can only make it better!

2. Assassins Creed Unity
Like some of you might know I’m a BIG fan of the AC series so of course this goes in the top of my 10 favorite games to look forward to! ^^ I don’t really need to ramble on about how cool I thought it looked! I’ll spare you! xD I always look forward to a new AC because I know Ubisoft can give me what I want! Haha!

“But hey, Jen! It is listed as your 2nd top favorite! Wft???” Yes it is! You have a keen eye there! ;D My favorite from E3 2014 is…….*drumroll*

 

1. Grim Fandango!!!
This was the biggest and by far the best suprise if you ask me! It even trumps the new AC! (Sorry AC, I still ❤ U) I can’t belive they were able to keep this a secret! :O I have been talking about how the should make a Grim Fandango remake for yeeeeeears now! It is such a great game that really deserves to get a remake. I was beyond happy when the announced it! (It was the funniest game announcing I’ve ever seen too) xD I was never able to play the whole game due to my computer being “too new” and nothing I tried worked to fix the problem. But now I will finally get to play it from start to finish without it crashing on me! (And also earning some trophys for my trophy race with Likilato ;D) I can’t wait! I just hope I can afford a PS4 in time for the realease! x)

The honoroble mention goes to the game, or DLC rather, with the most epic name I heard in a long time! (Maybe ever??) It’s Super Ultra Dead Rising 3 Arcade Remix Hyper Edition EX Plus Alpha!! Oh capcom! You’re so funny! xD

So, what were your favorites from E3?? Feel free to tell me in the comments! ^^

Thoughts on E3 so far…

I’m actually happy with E3 2014 so far (Ok, I’m not really that hard to please when it comes to games, I loove it too much! ;D I’m the happy video game nerd! ^^ As long as it’s not sports! Haha!) But I’ve been hearing people saying it sucks bla bla bla.. But hey, It’s still early in this console generation, the developers are still probably figuring out the consoles and stuff, but when they do we will probably see some AMAZING games! But so far I think we are up to a good start!

The new Zelda looked stunning! And don’t get me started on Yoshi’s Wolly World.. Omg it looked so… wolly! xD I’ve seen some more Sunset Overdrive gameplay and I will definetly buy it! Looks like so much fun! ^^ I like games with a silly/fun side. Nintendo announcing Mario Party 10! :O Awesome! Little Big Planet 3!!! LBP is one of my all time favorite “cheer me up” games! It so silly and fun and the new characters gives the game a whole new side to the puzzle solving ^^ We have some great Indie games coming our way also! Looking great! Next years E3 will probably be so epic! ^^

Well ok! I’m kind of disapointed about there not being any news about The Last Guardian. I was hoping for a big reveal with fireworks, konfetti, people spitting fire… the whole sheewBANG! But no, nothing! 😦 No Kingdom Hearst 3, no Final Fantasy 15.. And Valve did not even bother to come to E3? What about Portal 3?? Half-Life 3??? Left 4 Dead 3???? No? You guys hate the nr 3 or what?? :((( Oh well.. I’m expecting these games next year.. ok valve?? xD Don’t disapoint me!

E3 day 0 and 1! What games have they shown so far??

So E3 is happening right now! Yaay! 😀 So far I think It has been great! I mean it’s still early in this console generation so we can’t really expect too much right? 🙂 Still I think we are up to a good start! Even microsoft had a pretty good press conference compared to last year! They showed some microsoft exclusive games like Halo: The Master Chief Collection, Sunset Overdrive, Forza Horizon 2, Fable Legends, Dance Central Spotlight and Super Ultra Dead Rising 3 Arcade Remix Hyper Edition EX Plus Alpha. ( OMG! That title! xD ) They also showed Rise of the Tomb Raider, Evolve, Crackdown, The Witcher 3.. Some pretty interesting indie titels (I’m a sucker for indie games ❤ ^^) Inside, White Night, Cuphead, Grave, Woolfe, Hellraid, #IDARB and Ori and the Blind Forest. The trailer for the last one was so sad, beautiful but sooo sad! 😥

They also showed off their Project Spark, this game actually looks pretty cool, kinda makes me considering getting a xbox one one day! :O It’s a open-world digital canvas game letting you build your own worlds, create a story and share with the world! Looks awesome! Too bad I suck at those kind of games! xD I loved the Conker guest starring in the end! Haha! Conker is one of my all time favorite game characters! ^^ Photobucket Pictures, Images and Photos

Next up was the EA press conference! Here we got to see Dragon Age: Inquisition, Battlefield Hardline, The Sims 4 (yay) and a veeeery small sneak peak at Mirrors Edge 2 and the new Mass Effect. I’m not even remotly a sports fan but the golf game with the action mode actually looked… fun! The exploding golf was hilarious! xD Way to go making me interested in a golfing game! They should make the whole game like that and maybe I’ll buy it! Haha!

Oooooh the Ubisoft press conference was AWESOME! 😀 ASSASSINS CREED UNITY PEOPLE! xD Eeeeeeeeeek! I’m so psyked about this game! Haha! The so beautiful and fellow gamer girl Aisha Tyler was hosting and I think Ubisoft really brought it this year! We got to see FarCry 4, Tom Clancy’s The Division, The Crew, Just Dance 2015, Shape Up, Valiant Hearts: The Great War and Rainbow Six Siege! The new Just Dance game has a cool new feature, an app making it possible for anyone to play using a smartphone, also allowing more than 4 people to play at the same time! 20! 200! 2000! No problem! Use the app and just dance! ;D

Last on day 0, but not at all least! The Playstation press conference!!! And what and ending to a great day! They showed us Destiny, The Order, Entwined, Little Big Planet 3 (OMG YES!), Bloodborne, Dead Island 2, Abzu, Magica 2, GRIM FANDANGO (I’M SO HAPPY), Rainbow 6: Siege, Let It Die, No Man’s Sky, Batman: Arkham Knight, Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain and Uncharted 4!!

——Day 1——

Today Nintendo showed what games they had to offer as well, we got to see Yoshi’s Wooly World, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, Bayonetta 2, Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Splatoon, Mario Maker, Hyrule Warriors and some absolutely stunning footage of the new Zelda game!

Omg so many games! And I didn’t even include them all! And there is still more to come! 😀 It’s good to be a gamer right now! My favorites so far are AC Unity (of course! 😉 ), Grim Fandango, Yoshi’s Wooly World… Oh and LBP 3 looks awesome too! 😀 I really liked the Witcher 3 gameplay, the envoirment was so stunning! :O The Sims 4, Zelda… And Mario Maker looks like the best idea ever! x)

Oh! Before I wrap this up I just want to say congratulations to Gonzalo Barrios who just won the Super Smash Bros tournament! And great job everyone else as well! It was really fun to watch! ^^ Photobucket Pictures, Images and Photos
Good Night! ^^
