What I’ve Been Playing Recently

I wonder if those titles should be more distinct or if it even matters. Anyway, I "completed" one game this week. Actually I sort of "beat" two games, but I forget how I have counted the Fortnite Battle Passes. Let's call it one for now. The Fortnite BP technically goes to Level 200. F.I.S.T: Forged In Shadow Torch Man, that acronym. Someone really wanted it to stand for FIST. This was one of the free games from Epic over the Holidays that they push every year. It looked interesting from the animal characters and Steampunkish design then I noticed it's…

Star Wars Black Series Figrin D’an

I've really cut back on the Black Series of late, but occasionally something comes up that I still like. In this case it's Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes.

This Genie is sort of a combo of Genie and Jafar I think. He is kind of cool looking and there aren't really any articulated Geniue figures that I know of. Except there still aren't really any Genie figures. Because this guy is so incredibly limited. It's basically…

Fortnite Victory Royale The Scientist

A little before Christmas I bought a bunch of "Clearance masquerading as a Christmas Sale from Entertainment Earth stuff. It was all stuff I had been "sort of looking at" for a while, but for super marked down, I decided why not. Slightly annoyingly, a lot of it ended up being slightly disappointing for one reason or another. Maybe I need to start listening to tat little, "you put this off for a reason" voice more. Anyway, this was one of them. In the last year, I've started playing a ton of Fortnite. Though I don't own a ton of…
