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
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

I’m skipping “Creator Appreciation Week” here for “Staying Motivated Week.” There are no rules anyway, you can’t stop me. Apparently I dropped the balloon Blaugust and have missed days. Which is fine, really. I mean it’s 100% fine. I never intended to “post every day” to start wi … | Continue reading
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
Lameazoid Link List for Tuesday 2024-08-13 13-Aug-2024 – Ex-Blizzard devs new RTS ‘Stormgate’ out in Early Access, works on Linux but may need a small fix Brief Summary: “Stormgate is a fresh RTS game set in an all-new science fantasy universe, it’s hit Early Access toda” 13-Aug- … | Continue reading
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 … | Continue reading

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. I really didn’t know what to expect from it but it sounded interesting with it’s enticement of puzzles to solve, and my slow … | Continue reading

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 … | Continue reading
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 an … | Continue reading
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 repai … | Continue reading
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 hearin … | Continue reading
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 memorie … | Continue reading
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 tr … | Continue reading

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 anoth … | Continue reading

Welcome to Blaugust. A sort of, celebration of blogging, created by bloggers, and set during the month of August. I first participated last year on Blogging Intensifies, I set a goal to blog daily over there, and I accomplished that goal. It was, a little grueling to be honest. t … | Continue reading
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. Like, I have a few favorites (Yuffie, Cait Sith, Cid) and everyone else is a bit below that in a plane, and then there is Aerith. But … | Continue reading
And now for the final season of Star Trek Discovery. I have a whole mess of notes to make sense of, and a lot of them are more just, about the series in general. So let’s see where we boldly go on this one. Actually, it turns out it’s not that much. I kind of had a hard time cari … | Continue reading
With the 5th Anniversary even now closed out, I wanted to take a moment to share some random shots and comments on the various activities. I didn’t spend as much time in the game doing things as I feel like I should have, but also, it was a bit chaotic, which kind of feels like a … | Continue reading
Starts going off the rails a bit during the climax, but the build up is fun and the plane bit during training was great.Why did they keep foreshadowing that big harpoon gun then nothing came of it?Also, it felt like they made the villain as multinati... | Continue reading

Everyone knows the classic Voltron version with its 5 lions. There have been a few versions from the Stealth Voltron and Netflix Voltron and the newer Modern Voltron. There was also an additional team though that was made up of 15 vehicles, divided into three teams, colloquially … | Continue reading
As expected, despite there technically being ways, the crew is just staying in the Future’s Future. This season has been kind of meh overall, it really really feels like a rehash of the last two seasons except now Space Elon is the bad guy. Also, are the actors getting bored with … | Continue reading
This is called Ferris Bueller's Day Off but it's basically Cameron and Jeanie's movie, these two get all the character growth, Ferris just sort of, screws around the whole movie. | Continue reading

I probably don’t really need to reiterate my overall criticisms of this line from my Cloud write-up. I will add that, I was inspired to start this line when I saw Wave 2 had Yuffie, who is my favorite character from the game. But this Tifa looked super great and was part of what … | Continue reading
Probably the best of these honestly. Only two real core issues.One is a mild spoiler but it involves ship sizes vs crew sizes. I am sure that can be inferred.The other is Spock's hair. WTF is going on with Spock's weird looking hair in this. | Continue reading
So, how to solve the problem of “Discovery feels too advanced” and solve the problem of, “The writers want to make Star Trek but mostly ignore most established Trek canon concepts.” What if you just… Catapult the plot 930 years into the future. I am not entirely against the time … | Continue reading
Why is Cumberband so freakishly intense in this thing?Also, within the span of like, five minutes, maybe even real time, Kirk goes from Captain of the Federation's most prized starship, back to academy cadet, back to First Officer, back to Captain.Li... | Continue reading
Apparently watching Star Trek Discovery has numbed me to weird "Non Trekisms", because I enjoyed this one a bit more than I remember.The villain is kind of lame and forgettable though. Maybe the real villain was the challenge to make friends with eac... | Continue reading
It’s been a while since I posted about “What I’m Playing”. I’ve done a few specific game posts but no generic ones. Mostly it’s been Overwatch. Because I stopped playing Fortnite and apparently I hate myself because I can’t NOT play a grindy shooter game. I’m probably not going t … | Continue reading
Final Fantasy, and Final Fantasy VII were once a pretty big part of my interest many years ago. I probably would not be Ramen Junkie online if not for alt.games.final-fantasy on Usenet. FFVII is probably the most popular game in the series, and while I prefer FFX, a lot of people … | Continue reading
A weird drama documentary about a movie that may or may not have been a real movie that was never produced.It's honestly not real clear, and it's not really a Kaiju film at all. | Continue reading
Ok, so, I will probably just go with being a lot more spoilers on this post. It’s an older show, chances are if you care you’ve watched it. I was a bit less spoilers in my Season 1 write-up, which functions a bit more as just a review. I also want to preface this a bit that, I wa … | Continue reading
That literally last minute twist was quite the WTF doozy.Weird, low budget, Shark Men on the moon. It's probably everything you think it might be. | Continue reading
I’m a bit late on posting these, but they are still pretty cool. A few months ago, I went to the newly added “Side Quest Decatur” for the Midwest Toy and Comic Fest. It was the first year for the secondary even in Decatur, normally it’s held in Bloomington, about an hour north. I … | Continue reading
I’ve slowly been working on doing a bunch of upgrades to my console video game space. In some cases it involves elaborate changes to how things work with a particular system. I upgraded my PS2 to run from a hard drive, for example. I’ve modified my PS Mini to run more than just t … | Continue reading
I have been mostly avoiding the newer Star Trek shows. One, I was under the mistaken impression that they were either part of the New Movies timeline, which I dislike, or they were yet ANOTHER new Timeline. It does not help that Discovery really, REALLY feels like they initially … | Continue reading
Overwatch has just launched Season 11, and it’s paying tribute to Tokusatsu. A lot of folks are calling it the Power Rangers season, but the designs on the sentai skins are closer to the bug eyed Kamen Rider than to Power Rangers. Power Rangers usually have a more themed helmet f … | Continue reading
The image on Tubi has Jon Voight holding a sword and shield with this goofy grin, and that's like 90% of the reason I watched this.I don't think there is a sword or shield anywhere in this.The whole thing is definitely "After school morals" material.... | Continue reading
I have been playing Sky for a few years now but somehow I have missed the Days of Color event. Twice I think even. I have been waiting for this one to come along, for kind of a dumb reason, it’s the only way to (non hacky) access the space way up above the 8 Person Door puzzle ar … | Continue reading
