Toy Hunt: Free Comic Book Day 2013 Edition

Rejoice! It’s another Toy Hunt! This time featuring goodies I picked up during Free Comic Book day 2013.

I went to my sort of local comic / toy / and game shop Lost World of Wonders. I showed up an hour after opening and there was a big [...]

Lego Robot Solves Rubik’s Cube in 5 Seconds

Humanity, we’ve invented our own destruction. In 2011, software company ARM Holdings hired designers Mike Dobson and David Gilday to build a Rubik’s Cube solving robot. They used ARM technology in a Samsung phone hooked up to Lego Mindstorm robotics and beat the Guiness World Record for solving the cube. The old time was [...]

Christmas Memories II: Christmas Got Christmasier

Every year (when I remember) I try to bust out some of my favorite Christmas memories to try to get in the Christmas spirit. Previously I told the tale of the Sega Spider-Man game, but this year I’ve included all the tales in one post.

Now warm up the hot cocoa and sit [...]

Top 10 Transformers That Rarely Transformed

I grew up in the mid-80s and I was a massive fan of Transformers. I had the toys, I taped the shows religiously on the family VCR, I saw the animated movie in the theaters and I read the comics. I loved the original cartoon, although when I look back on it, the quality jumps [...]

The Internet in 1969

AT&T thought it had a view on the future with it’s spots depicting the future in the early 90s, but this video tops that in spades. Behold the future as envisioned in 1969!

Got to love the gender roles in this one. Man pays the bills and the woman does the [...]

AT&T Brings You The Future

I loved the 90s. I mean, as much as I loved the 80s, I probably love the 1990s more. I really came of age in the 1990s. I graduated high school, got my first car, started going to college, grew my first beard, and lost my virginity. That’s a lot of big [...]

BraveStarr by Moebius

If you don’t know that I have a bit of an obsession with the 1980s toy and cartoon line Bravestarr, then I’ll let you in, I love BraveStarr. Pure logic would dictate that I’d like original BraveStarr art and while that applies to the above image, I love it even more because it is [...]

He-Man Rules the Mall

This video is perhaps the greatest thing ever, even if you don’t like toys. It’s a glimpse into 1986 where everything was better. Don’t argue with me on that. I know for a fact, because it was in the past so obviously things were better. Anyway, back when action figures sold way [...]

Ahh the ’90s: Dracula… The Series!

I’ll admit it. I miss the ’90s. Yeah, the ’80s ruled, but I came of age in the ’90s. I realize this is making me old, but to hell with it. I figured I’d take some time to spotlight some of the little known corners of my world from the ’90s to inform and [...]
