Fortnite Mobile

I’ve shifted back to Fortnite from Overwatch, Maybe. Probably. Anyway, the newest Fortnite Season is a pretty sweet Marvel themed season with a Marvel BP, which is way more exciting than the upcoming Overwatch BP, which is, kind of hodge-podgey, sort of Ancient Egypt? Also, no Ve … | Continue reading

My Gaming Journey – Part 3 – 32/64bit Era

This era of gaming is where things started to get a little more varied. This would essentially be the Playstation/Saturn/N64 era of gaming. Though I am not sure I have ever even seen a Saturn, much less played one. Playstation definitely dominated this era of games, but for my pa … | Continue reading

Toy Story 2 Dynamic 8ction Heroes DAH-074 Al McWhiggin

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 s … | Continue reading

My Gaming Journey – Part 2 – 16bit Era and the Game Boy

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.

Bring Arts – Final Fantasy VII – Aerith Gainsborough

I just want to put out front here, Aerith, is not my favorite Final Fantasy VII character. In fact, she is probably on the bottom, by quite a bit.
