Who Am I, What is Lameazoid?

Part of Blaugust involves some, optional prompts, and one is an introduction post. This is one I have done before many times and it's probably mostly all there on the About page linked above. But I'll recap a bit here for those just joining in. Welcome to Lameazoid, my first blog that I keep dragging along behind me. When it began life on Geocities it was The Chaos Zone but I did a sort of rebrand when I moved to Livejournal in the early 2000s. It's technically all the same.blog, though I have purg d and restored content on it…

Horizon Zero Dawn Aloy

This line of Playstation based figures kind of felt like it came out of nowhere a month or so ago for pre order. Most of them look pretty cool but I don't really play most of the games and have no real attachments to most of the characters. I do however really like Aloy's look and was at the time, playing Horizon Zero Dawn on the PC. She seemed like a good choice to try out the line. I was a little worried before receiving the figure itself. The actual company making these is Spin Master, which makes more, young…

Transformers X TMNT – Party Wallop

I have lost track of how many of these crossover Transformers we have gotten but it's a pretty neat line that for the most part has been done pretty well. I particularly like that they are mostly original molds. It feels like it would have been easy to just do some mediocre repaints. I suppose making actual meaningful molds was probably part of the deal for getting some of these IPs. The TMNT crossover is pretty good, it's not perfect, but I like it. Party Wallop definitely has the "Ninja Turtle" look in Robot mode, with a few spots of…

Star Trek Strange New Worlds

Despite that I've been writing about Star Trek Discovery, what really brought me back to Star Trek was Strange New Worlds. I had tried and given up on Discovery several times, not making it past the first episode, and I wasn't hearing much great and Star Trek Picard. I was hearing good things about Strange New Worlds. I know the timelines and continuity is iffy, but it's essentially a prequel series to The Original Series. Something I kind of realized when starting SNW, is that I have never really watched TOS. I have seen episodes here and there for sure,…

My Gaming Journey – Part 1 – 8-Bit Era

Last year when I did Blaugust over on [BI], I dis a series of posts about my history of computer use.  I wasn't really going to try to go all "hardcore" at posting this year, but I decided it might be fun to try to parallel that series a bit with a history of my Video Game memories. Also, I have no idea if these are all 8-bit systems, it's just an easy way to segment things, don't @ me. Like my computer use, I've played video games, essentially my entire life.  I've played a lot of games.  My god…
