As a toy collector, this felt like a figure that was a weird requirement to own. It’s also a figure that feels less likely to get a lot of toys. He was the villain for Toy Story 2, for the most part, but Toy Story toys tend to revolve around the Toy characters, who are all “toy sized.” Plus he is just kind of a goofy weird design in general. I was a little warry because I don’t really know anything about the company making these. Buying from lesser known […]
My Gaming Journey – Part 2 – 16bit Era and the Game Boy
The natural progression from the NES of course was right into the SNES. I think the SNES may still be my favorite console, mostly for the graphics. There is such a perfect simplicity to the sprits of the SNES. It was just enough power and memory to make larger complex titles, but not overly complicate them. I enjoy modern pixel graphics games, but they are always much higher resolution with so many more colors. It’s just not the same. After the SNES, consoles became much more about polygons and 3D […]
Solo Play – Escape from the Space Station
I picked this solo game up on a lark because it was on clearance at a Kohl’s and the clearance was 75% off or something, so it cost me a couple of dollars.

Then I sat on it for a few years not actually playing it. The box contains: The Puzzle cards and punch out cards are made of thick […]
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, […]
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 […]
