Spyro: Year Of The Dragon

Taste That Rainbow!

by

The copious amounts of film noir rainy weather have been putting me in a mood for more colorful games, and it doesn’t get much juicier than the Spyro games. I played more Year Of The Dragon, and funny enough we’re actually in the year of the Dragon! I might have to play more games involving Dragons as a kind of a personal side-quest for myself.

I cleared a couple levels, found all the gems, spheres and completed some basic puzzles. They’re pretty simplistic, but then again this is a revamped kids game from the 90’s. I’m only playing through it because the original games were never available where I lived growing up. My only childhood memories of Spyro involved the first levels of the original Spyro game on a Pizza Hut demo disc. It’s kinda funny telling younger gamers today about those old times about ordering pizza and getting demos, fun times.

With my weekend on the rise I’ll probably kick it off with something a little more adult, something to sleep on anyway. I only have a few hundred ideas to choose from. :v

Dragons and Penguins and Sun Emojiis oh my!

Bitch I’m Fabulous

As per the usual weekend tradition I’ve been taking some time to play around with different games. I checked out KaBounce and Shadwen yesterday, and ended the night with a bit of Spyro. But today I binged on Spyro in much the same way that I binged on curry. I’ve jumped ahead in the series to Year Of The Dragon, and it’s been a blast. I’ve enjoyed swimming as well as playing other characters. I even got to play as a flying penguin with a rocket launcher, so far that one is my favorite:

I’m coming for you Microsoft!

I also was not aware of the fact that Spyro: Year Of The Dragon was the game that gave birth to emojiis

I also can’t get over how surprisingly chipper the local creatures are, even when trying to be sad:

I’m glad to finally be playing this, feels like I’m making up for lost time whenever I play it, given that I was only limited to a Pizza Hut demo disc as a kid. But for now it’s time for me to shelve this one until the next play date. I’ve got other ideas for next weekend, projects, shopping, games or otherwise. Tomorrow I’m going to start preparing for the second Skyrim video. I need to record some voice lines and extract the audio clips that I’ll be animating. It’s looking like another one that I’ll be investing some time in, we have another special ending planned. I probably won’t be able to share many pictures until sometime next month.
