***Let's Get Retro!***
Throwback Thursday

Where, oh where do I start with this one? How about a simple post introducing the new blog series? Yeah, that's what this first post will be. Welcome!

Let's start this off right, shall we? I started gaming on an NES. Super Mario Bros, Duck Hunt, Final Fantasy, Dragon Warrior... ah, memories. 

My oldest brother had an Atari once upon a time. I think he actually got it after Mom bought the NES. A friend of mine had an Atari too. That meant hours of Ms Pac-Man, Asteroids, Frogger, and some other games I'd only played in the arcade before.

Tips N Tricks Tuesday (#14) - Wrong Order, Idiot! (Witcher)

The series of blog posts in which I share a gaming tip or trick. These are mostly Borderlands. But today's is not! [happy grin]

---

***Wrong Order, Idiot!***
Reaping Time Main Quest
A Lost Lamb Side Quest
The Witcher

I don't come up against too many issues in The Witcher, but the other day I was playing and accidentally failed a quest that I'd all but turned in. My jaw dropped, completely shocked, but I wasn't too upset. I'd saved right before and could simply reload the game and try again. Check it out below. ▼

Movie Monday (#28) - Destroying the Destroyer (Borderlands)

The series in which I share a game or game related video that is almost always one of my own....

---

***Destroying the Destroyer***
Borderlands

There are times when boss fights are so freaking long you feel like rage quitting. This is one of those times. Borderlands games usually give me a run for my money, and this one definitely did that. So sit back and relax as you watch me die and then slowly chip away at the Destroyer's health. 

For 30 minutes.

A smattering of screenshots from some random game I'm playing, sometimes in a rather random order...

I'm not really into mobile games; I've always pretty much considered them throwaway games. The kids go through them like hot dinners. I've only had one or two I played for any length of time. The following is probably one I'll like for a while.

***Killing Knuckle Dragger***
Borderlands 2

Borderlands 2 has a crap-ton of bosses, most of whom have some spot near them where you can stand and kill them without getting killed in return. This week's tip is just such a spot, this time for the very first boss, Knuckle Dragger. ▼

Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII

In yet another edition of "Death to All..." I bring you the MINIFLAN episode. This episode comes from Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII, and is one of the "Last One" battles for which the game is well known. Well, known to me, at least. Enjoy! ▼
