We're out to discover !

After looking forward to the lastest issue of NEO dropping onto my doorstep I was getting itchy fingers when it was 2 days late, so I decided to peruse my local newsagents for something to read in the mean time and I made a rather good discovery ;

The cover pretty much sold me but the price of £7.99 did make me pause.... briefly.

Coming with some free 'New 52' postcards and a graphic novel made it sit more comfortably in my conscience!

Lots of interesting interviews, reviews and previews make this a great magazine, its a shame its only a 2 monthly publication but that does make the price a little let harsh on the wallet. So I treated myself to a subscription at £29 a year for 6 issues, not bad at all !

Nice to see some smaller publishers included alongside the big hitters and certainly opened my eyes to some titles I could easily have missed. Even if you only buy this issue the top 50 villlans makes great reading. Give it a go !

DEFEAT

Ok. I'm in love with Sheldon.

last christmas?

So it's late last december , early in the morning and I'm so excited to see what's been left for me , so I run down stairs to find........

The 2012 Lego Catalogue !

Full of beautiful, wonderous things. One such item I have already reviewed but this, THIS is the one I was waiting for ;
http://shop.lego.com/en-GB/The-Dynamic-Duo-Funhouse-Escape-6857

Flipping through the catalogue I was seriously excited to come across this. But a little dissapointed to see the £44.99 price tag.
Expecting just to order the 'Catcycle' set I was VERY pleased to see the website price was £39.99 .... and then to find I had a £5 VIP voucher saving me a tenner overall ! ADD TO CART ADD TO CART !!!!!!!

I have since received , built and played with this set. Needless to say I love it, whats not to like?
5 minfigs INCLUDING Harley
a rollercoaster
a funhouse with moving floors and giant hammers
and a great looking set to display.

If I absolutley HAD to criticise this set , I guess the coaster could have had a bit more track
The 'comic book' is not so much a comic as some pictures of the sets you can buy, but with no words
And even at the reduced price its not a huge set.

But, having only got mine a couple of weeks ago this set has already sold out online, so If you see ONE GRAB IT AND NEVER LOOK BACK !

They got me !

Game over. I have been beaten down.

Ok so it's not quite that dramatic. I have tried my best to find 'The Big Bang Theory' funny and I just don't. Yes the odd laugh but generally its not my thing. BUT .

After spending a slightly alcohol induced night with some of my wayward friends I have been convinced that , If I only "watch them properly, from the start", I WILL GET IT ! The laughs will come and I won't be the cold lonely outcast in a world of Sheldon Lovers.

Thanks Amazon, I get 4 seasons of DVDs, you got my £28, now lets see what it was worth !

Sometimes I like my T.V

After what seemed like HOURS of typing up minutes I was very excited to turn on my TV to find 'Back to the Future' on , followed by 'Spiderman' !

That's a great way to spend a Sunday evening in when you have nothing else to do , I had forgotton how much I love these movies.

Spiderman in paticular made me want to watch the third in the series. I have never seen it due to bad reviews , but with the upcoming 'The Amazing Spider Man' it would be good to have the full trilogy in my head before watching it.

I am not a Marvel fan as far as the comics go, but they do pop out some good movies now and then. Should be an interesting one, with only 10 years between the two.

Spectres call part 2

I have slooooooowly got to chapter 4 and I'm getting back into the swing of things. Still finding there is too much dialogue but the mini games give me a bit of variety. Some of the puzzle truely have me stumped too. I think this series needs a certain frame of mind to enjoy and can get old quite quickly BUT there is a charm to Layton and I won't be abonding him just yet :)

Apologies for my absence this weekend, but duty calls and I spent hours typing up some minutes from a meeting last week. But thats that done for 3 months , so on with the gaming !

Kick-Ass

Just finished watching 'Kick-Ass'. Only the second time I've seen it and I BLOODY LOVE IT !

Pay day priority #1 : buy the graphic novel.

Although I have heard it isn't as good, but I'm not one to judge, and any excuse to compare it to the movie so I can watch it again, purely for education reviewing reasons you understand.......
*cough cough*

oh.. .why hello there blue eyes................

Ahh, super heroes.
