Roman Reigns vs Brock Lesnar Wrestlemania 34

Okay I’m excited to see Roman Reigns vs Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania 34.  I’m not a Reigns fan or a Brock fan…. but anytime you have top alpha dogs in a match, it should be interesting.  My only wish is for Roman to start a new journey of being The Guy, and actually dominate Brock (anything that isn't predictable).

Nintendo LABO

The creativity of Nintendo never ceases to amaze me.  This time with Nintendo LABO, we’re getting games that are literally straight out of dreams and into reality.  I reflect on a time when we were all kids and would let our imagination take us to a fantasy where we were in castles or the jungle, or in space; and we would make our tools and weapons from household objects and cardboard.  This is what I see as the inspiration for LABO.  Obviously kit 1 and 2 will be basic, but if it’s a success the possibilities are endless of what we can get.  Imagine a Legend of Zelda kit where you build your own master sword and shield.  This is taking my love for papercraft to the next level.

Vans Nintendo Duck Hunt Backpack

Out of all the accessories that were released from the Nintendo Vans collaboration my favorite is the Duck Hunt backpack.  I just love how they mixed the digital camo print with the 8-bit duck sprites from the game.   There’s something wacky and cool about it.  And of course the inclusion of the laughing dog on the side was the cherry on top of this beautiful desert.

This being a Vans release the backpack also serves a utilitarian purpose meant for everyday use.  The material and stitching is nice and strong, and many pockets and key holes are provided.  Unfortunately the bag isn’t perfect because the size is small for adults, and it lacks a water bottle pocket on the side.  While I do love the bag, I think I’ll leave it more to occasional use because of these shortcomings.

Nintendo Switch Day One

I finally bought a Nintendo Switch.  What took me so long?  Well, I’m cheap and wanted to buy it with my Shoppers Drug Mart points ($170 discount in points, and I also received even more bonus points after), plus the neon version was the version I wanted and it was never in stock… until today.  I’m so happy to finally own a Switch, and I can’t wait to play Zelda.  Christmas 2017 just became Legendary.
