"CYBER" REVIEW: ARE YOU SARAH CONNOR?

Hey we haven't had an update of my life in a minute, so let's talk:

• Two of my best friends got married-- congratulations to Lord and Lady Shavers.
• I binge-watched the entire series run (thus far) of Steven Universe and it has consumed my feels.
• I began going to my comic book and collectibles store, Comic Cellar, again, to play board games and draft Magic the Gathering.
• I've been playing Far Cry 4, Splatoon, Smash Bros., League of Legends, and Dark Souls.
• I began working on my first cosplay since I dressed up as Coach from Left 4 Dead 2 to attend a zombie walk (pictured below). I'm gonna make a Solaire of Astora costume from Dark Souls for Anime Blues Con.

Now, let's talk about Loot Crate:

EX. (LOOT CRATE OCTOBER 2014 "FEAR")

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 eighth Loot Crate review. If you wanna check out last month's review for May 2015 "UNITE" Loot Crate, check out the link HERE.

WORD OF THE DAY! 8/7/14!

JON TRON- TITENIC?

hamartia [hah-mahr-tee-uh]

noun

1. The tragic flaw that inevitably leads to the downfall of a person or enterprise.

EX. The hamartia of the RMS Titanic, in a cosmic sense, was to declare the ship "unsinkable". In Greek tragedy, such hubris tempts the gods to intervene in order to teach the mortals a lesson in humility. And yet, in a tragedy of such titanic proportion, the causes of the outcome are not as simple as the tempestuous whims of some envious deity; the ship wasn't constructed well enough, the crew did not see the iceberg until it was too late, the passengers were packed away improperly and there were too many souls on boards and too few lifeboats, and so on and so forth, until all of the variables added up to a formula for disaster. It is unlikely that we will ever know why such a foul fate befell the ship on its maiden voyage, but we can learn from the mistakes identified.

And then there are the various craptastic unofficial software made to ride the coat tails of James Cameron's mega-successful Titanic film; their tragedy is that somebody thought they could make a fun game based on a romantic disaster film based on a real-life tragedy. I dunno if the gods came together to punish those game designers, but it is a comforting thought to imagine their wrath coming down upon their heads.
