WTF WED! ALIEN 5: SHARKS FROM THE BLACK HOLE!

SLIPPERY SHOWER!

You come home. You hear something upstairs. Someone is taking a shower. You creep up the stairs to investigate and realize that your partner is washing off. A playful though emerges. You step into the bathroom and disrobe. You pull the curtain and...

THE HOLE!

Between running a Call of Cthulhu game and watching Christopher Nolan's Interstellar, I find myself obsessed with metaphysical horror because, when confronted by the unexplainable and unconfrontable, humans will try to explain and confront it.

That is fascinatingly horrible or is it just horrible fascinating? I don't know.

ALIEN 5: HEY MAN!

I really wanna play Alien: Isolation. Even if the last horror video game I played made me jump about and flail like a fish at the first jump scare. Once again, humans feel they must confront such things. Or run. Probably just run. Well, run and hide. Yeah. That makes sense...

LOOT CRATE SEPTEMBER 2014 
"GALACTIC" REVIEW:

"A FISTFUL OF TRIBBLES"

This last weekend has been an awesome windfall of various things I've been saving up for or waiting for in the mail. In anticipation of the upcoming Super Smash Bros for 3DS, I went ahead and upgraded to the new Smash Bros 3DS XL. Also, as pictured at the head of the article, I got my Rammus hat in the mail all the way from Nanjing, China. Oh, and then, I got my September Loot Crate!

You need a reminder as to what a Loot Crate is again?

EX. (LOOT CRATE JULY 2014 "VILLAINS")

Loot Crate is a subscription based service where members pay a fee (based on their subscription plan) to receive a themed mystery box every month in the mail (last month's theme, pictured above, was "Villains") filled with nerdy products from companies like Nintendo, DC, Marvel, Capcom and much more. The contents of the box usually contain things like exclusive figures, a t-shirt, a magnet, pin/s, posters, comics, books, toys, and pretty much everything you can think of from "dragon-flavored" Jerky in April's "Dragon" Loot Crate to Deadpool socks (pictured above).

This is the perfect surprise for self-professed nerds that love cool stuff and weird stuff alike.

If you're lucky, you might even be the lucky member to get the monthly Mega Crate which always has a value of $750 or more!

And so, for as low as $11.67 + $6 SH, you can become a Looter too! Plus, if you use any of the various codes you can find online, you can get discounts. 

 This is my second Loot Crate review. If you wanna check out last month's review for AUGUST 2014 "HEROES" Loot Crate, check out the link HERE.

So, without much more ado except for my own verbosity, let's see what we got in this month's crate.

WORD OF THE DAY! 12/29/12.

dollface [dol-feys]
noun
1. A person having  smooth, unblemished complexion and small, regular features.

EX. How long did it take for you to figure out that the gif above is a prop getting its dollface smooshed and not Sigourney Weaver being discovered as some sort of alien monster?

WORD OF THE DAY! 4/5/12.

major-domo [mey-jer-doh-moh]
noun
1. A man in charge of a great household, as that of a sovereign; a chief steward.
2. A steward or butler.
3. A person who makes arrangements for another.

Ex. Batman doesn't use guns. Alfred shot the Predator with a goddamn blunderbuss.

Alfred Pennyworth isn't just Bruce Wayne's butler-- he is also Bruce's best friend, his guardian, his second father figure, his spiritual adviser, his mentor; he is THE major-domo.

(You better believe that Damien'll get his turn)

Every kid wants an Alfred. He would make you breakfast, drive you to school, slip notes into your lunch, right next to your snack pack, reminding you about the Vulcan nerve pinch he taught you to deal with that bully Greg Larson, and, on the ride home, he'd give you advice on how to get that girl, the one with pig-tails, to ask you out to the Sadie Hawkins dance. Why? Because, you'd be the young master of the house and he has sworn his life to the house!

And besides Predator aliens, Alfred has to put up with a lot of insane bulls***. He has been kidnapped by maniac clowns, had to hide Bruce's nightly hobbies from the public, dealt with meta-humans, took Batman's calls from the Justice League, stay up all night sowing kevlar and chainmail into tights, take care of Ace the Batdog, and so much more. Oh and he cleans up Batman's cave lair (all the bat guano!). Alfred doesn't all for Master Bruce with a reliable and unwavering expression that can only be tempered by the occasional smirk at his own sense of humor.

Alfred is the butler. And the butler always did it. It, in this case, being "everything".
