The Nerd Off: (Protected Content)
How’s it going Nerds
So after getting hooked by the One Piece live action, I’ve now read 17 volumes of the manga & watched 91 episodes of the anime which gets me up to where the live action ended season 2. Since the live action was my in, I’m gonna keep that as my first option.
I completed season 1 of Avatar & am about to start season 2. I’ll probably watch the cartoon of that as well once I finish live action season 2.
With me being a Lego nerd, the missing Lego Star Wars collection, Reckless Ben & Brick & Minifigs stuff has been crazy & has had my attention for the last month. Hopefully they get the guy sorted for his missing Lego sets & the Bricks & Minifig corporate get held accountable.
Also had our comic show here in Sydney a couple weeks back. So I went & got a few things signed & stuff by C-3P0, Eomer & Shaun of the Dead. I added some pics
Have a good 1

What’s good, Gamers. All I got to say about more jobs getting cut for the sake of idiotic shareholders from both Sony & Microsoft, I’ll let GTA San Andreas’s CJ do the talking: “Ah shit, here we go again”.
Ok, so I’m writing this a bit earlier than usual because I’m going to have a fairly crammed Friday (I’m seeing The Invite at 7:15pm) night.
I’ve been playing a lot of God of War 2018 in the last few days & what a game it is. I’m pretty deep into the game, as I’m dealing with Atreus’s after affects of his illness, when Kratos goes to Helheim alone. The storytelling is unlike any GoW game I’ve ever played, as I’m digging this iteration of Kratos juxtaposed his raging counterpart during his Olympus bounty hunts. Really looking forward to Ragnarok.
Supergirl was disappointing but Milly Alcock was not. Simply wish the script wasn’t as rushed & patched together as it was. I know them Snyderbro bastards are acting stupid. Goes to show you, no matter how talented you are, producing a cinematic universe is fucking hard. Don’t get me wrong, haven’t lost faith but when Marvel’s Incredible Hulk film didn’t break $300M worldwide after Iron Man did nearly $600M in ’08, doubters were doing the same hating nonsense. If anything, give Kara more to do in Man of Tomorrow.
Oh, and Apocalypse? Oh, nigga, you one of them ones, huh? X-Men 97 – S2’s off to another rousing start.
Take it easy, guys.
I had this episode on in the background and I found myself drawn in when I randomly heard somebody say something that sounded like “Pokémon with guns.” Then Rod was saying something about how Hasbro would flip out if someone had tried to create content involving Transformers fucking and my immediate thought was, “Nobody better tell them about Fred Perry!”
