Had to take it apart a second time and re-check all the connections, but looks like my Retroid Pocket 5 is back in business. Now for some GBA goodness.

Thanks to my nephew, I got some quality hands on time with the Switch 2. My old eyes appreciated the larger display, the UX and shop felt super snappy and Mario Kart looked and played great. I would absolutely need a grip case for it as the device feels incredibly thin and flat in my hands.

Where do you fall on the candy corn debate? Trick or treat? The Count is taking count. I like these little Halloween sweets, but I can only handle a few at a time.

Today I joined a gathering of Silly Creatures holding signs that read “NO KINGS!” I can only assume they were protesting against the Gorgs, and who could blame them?
Perhaps there’s hope for the surface world after all.

Day 13/13 of the Star Wars Halloween Countdown Calendar. Yeah, I know we're not at Halloween yet, but I started early. Now to find ways to fill the remaining days with more spooky photos.

I didn't pick up much, but one thing I did grab was this Castlevania figure from the NECA vault. Managed to walk away with the last one.

One cool reveal for me was the NECA Ultimate Decoy Bob (on the left) from Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. I wasn't super keen on the movie, but the best parts were with Beetlejuice and Bob, so I'll gladly take another figure. I've already got two regular Bobs pre-ordered, so I'll snag this new one as well

It was super cool to get hands on with Once Upon a Katamari at NYCC. I only got to play for a few minutes, but it looked and played great and seems to have a few tricks up it's sleeve. Looking forward to picking this up later this month.

Unfortunately, no season 2 confirmed - but lets keep our fingers crossed. I need more of that damn eyeball!

So salacious... Day 10 of the Star Wars Halloween Countdown Calendar is upon us - only 3 days to go. These tiny figures have been a lot of fun to shoot and I fully endorse more spooky star wars stuff!
