Too Much Awesome

Today, we at Toy-TMA bid farewell to the fond memories of 2011 and look forward to a whole new year on the horizon. 2012, Year of Democratic elections, Disaster predictions, and the Dragon (gotta love the dragon).

We’ve only just got our feet wet with the holiday season but already we have to start looking at the next few weeks as too little time yet to plan for Christmas. Video games, naturally, are going to be high on your list of purchasable items, especially when you’re talking about kids. There’s one game [...]

I don’t want to jinx this, but I’d really like to see Toy Story 3 receive a perfect 100% at Rotten Tomatoes, thus making the Toy Story series have a perfect score. While it’s most likely not going to happen since at least one reviewer will be jaded for no reason other than to cost [...]

After a bit of a break, we’ve got a new episode of the Too Much Awesome Podcast with special guest Michael James Waymire, a close friend of mine who happens to have a lot to say about the 90′s and why, well, they were just plain better than now. So check it out and let’s [...]

I’m taking another day off video games to go into one of my favorite things from my childhood: Die-cast cars. The term can be applied to a lot of things, such as Hot Wheels and the like, but I actually won’t be bringing Hot Wheels into this since, well, that makes for an article in [...]
