What They Could Have Left Out Of Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen

Jul 08, 09 What They Could Have Left Out Of Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen

Posted by Michael in Movies and Video

I’ve been holding off on writing anything about the new Transformers movie until everyone had a chance to see it. I know that some people really don’t like “spoilers”, but the movie has made about $600 million world-wide by now, so all of the people that care about this have already seen it. Chrissy and I...

The Decepticons Visit The Tank Engines Of Sodor

Mar 02, 09 The Decepticons Visit The Tank Engines Of Sodor

Posted by Michael in Other Things

Thomas The Tank Engine had not felt “Really Useful” as of late.  He had spent the entire night looking for UFOs instead of delivering the mail for Percy, who was out of commission.  He had not even known what “energy management” was until a few days ago, but apparently Mr. Toppem Hat thought that it was...

Got A Set Of Transformers Animated Happy Meal Toys

Posted by Michael in Transformers

McDonalds has picked up the Transformers promotion this time around. I had mentioned to Chrissy that the new Happy Meal toys were out, and she filed it into her unlimited memory.  We were out shopping today when she casually suggested that we swing by the McDonalds.  I’m thinking that it’s almost lunch time, but I...

Fighting as the Decepticons

Oct 30, 07 Fighting as the Decepticons

Posted by Michael in Transformers, Video Games

Since I finished BioShock twice, I decided that I should go back and finish the Transformers game. I beat the Autobot campaign a while back, but I was frustrated with the Decepticon campaign and subsequently found other stuff to do with my time. Scorponok was what did it for me — he’s slow and weak, easily the most...

Sweetest Day Presents

Oct 20, 07 Sweetest Day Presents

Posted by Michael in Special Events

Chrissy and I might be the last people on earth who celebrate Sweetest Day. Sweetest Day usually falls on the third week in October, but the exact date can be unpredictable. We never really know each year until we check the calendar. Oddly, we treat this day as being almost as important as Valentine’s Day (we joke that Chrissy...

Heading to Botcon 2006

Sep 28, 06 Heading to Botcon 2006

Posted by Michael in Special Events, Transformers

Chrissy and I drove down to Lexington, Kentucky for Botcon 2006. I signed Chrissy up for the Primus package, so we needed to get to the Lexington Convention Center by 8 PM to pick up our exclusive figures. We both got the box set and the two exclusive sets: Megatron/Waspinator and Laserbeak/Buzzsaw. As a freebie for attending, they...
