Too Much Awesome

Hot Wheels is one of the most affordable toys to collect. Since most cars are only a dollar, it means anyone with a pocket or a purse can cobble together enough spare change to buy a few toy cars. Most people might think Hot Wheels starts with kids scooting them across the kitchen floor and [...]

It’s been a while since the last Comic Book Club, hasn’t it? Don’t think I haven’t been neglecting my comic and graphic novel side. Oh no, I’ve been quite busy reading some excellent material (seriously, check out Wolverine: Old Man Logan if you can tolerate a lot of gore), but the tricky thing is finding [...]

This last week my mother came to visit me/clean my apartment and one of the things she was kind enough to bring me, upon request, were my four really cool Ninja Turtle action figures based off the black and white comics. I set them up on my shelf to constantly remind me of my Turtley [...]

What better way to wrap up my Pokeweek than with a little trip down memory lane to remember all the Pokemon toys I had when I was a kid? While the games were what introduced us to the concept of Pokemon, it was the phenomenon that exploded shortly afterward with the toys, cards, clothes, and [...]

My Pokeweek continues today after a bit of a day off yesterday, though the games still relate to the concept of completing everything in the game for simply no point. Nope, today we’re all about happy things because I’ve got a review for the remake of Pokemon Gold and Silver versions, called HeartGold and SoulSilver. [...]

How many of you are on Spring Break right now? I sure am, though that doesn’t excuse me from my writing duties. It still does give me a chance to play some video games, something I’m sure many of you also do. There’s just something about games that’s begun to bother me and for the [...]

Yesterday I gave my list of the Top 10 Best Pokemon according to me. Of course, we can’t talk about the best without diving into the worst. We’re nearly at 500 Pokemon now, so it’s unreasonable to think they’re all going to be winners. These are my least favorite Pokemon, so much so that they [...]

This last week saw the release of Pokemon Heart gold and Soul Silver, the DS remakes of Gold and Silver versions. You can expect a review of those at some point (spoiler: they’re a remake of my favorite Pokemon games, I’m going to say they’re good). In the meantime, I felt like looking back over [...]

It’s been a long week of finals for me, and after all that I realized I had one last assignment to complete: Do a write-up for toys based off of Tim Burton’s new movie, Alice in Wonderland. Perhaps you’ve heard of it? It’s not exactly a sequel to the classic Disney movie of the same [...]

Video games breed better toys. I consider this a fact. After all, toy-peddlers need to compete with all of those moving images, sounds, and moments of euphoria that come with beating a boss.
