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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
I wish it were more exciting this week, but it’s kind of more of the same. I’m admittedly in a bit of a rut in my gaming lately. Overwatch I almost wasn’t playing this anymore, again. It’s starting to reach a point where it’s more frustrating than fun again. Last weekend had a trial round for the upcoming new hero Juno (maybe it was two weekends ago?). Juno seems, a little lame honestly. She is a healer, but it kind of feels like an “easy mode” style healer. She doesn’t […]
Something I have hoped to do for a while is play some solo games and do some write-ups on them. I have to start somewhere, and today, I am going to take a look at a wallet sized solo card game called Food Chain Island by Button Shy Games. I recently backed a Kickstarter for another solo game by this same group, and one of the pledge options was to get copies of some of their other, previous titles, so I figured, why not. The game itself consists of 18 […]
