Hopefully fans will feel the same way about the latest iteration in Capcom’s long-running, crossover, fighting game series. However some fans, those that forked out $200 for the game’s Collector’s Edition, are already less than enthused, thanks to the “Infinity Stones replica set” contained within. Far from being six glowing soul gems, containing the power to manipulate time, reality and the universe itself, they’re more somewhat-glowy, pastel-coloured, plastic eggs....

Although this type of game doesn’t speak to me as much as something likeDust, which was right in my wheelhouse, I appreciate a studio willing to aim for something so different and unexpected....

It’s been awhile, folks, but now I’m back with more beer reviews along with your daily recap. Today’s beer comes from home state of Oklahoma. I picked it up around New Year’s Day, and just never got around to trying it. I was a bit worried because it came in a can, was several months old and had been jostled around quite a bit in the past few months. Thankfully, my fears were quickly put to rest....

Pack it in! Every so often but not nearly often enough, ridiculous PlayStation 4 themes and laughably bad PSN avatars come into my life. Who keeps making these? Better yet, who’sbuyingthem? I don’t know, and frankly, I’d prefer to keep it that way.Corn Loveandwhatever the hell these images areshould remain life’s great mysteries, always just out of grasp of our understanding no matter how far humankind progresses.

These legendary bird Pokemon Nanoblocks are pretty cute

They’re roughly $15 each I completely forgot Nanoblocks existed (which is easy to do since they’re based and mostly sold out of Japan), but after 30 minutes of research I kind of want a bunch of them. I’m sure our kid will grow up crafting tons of Lego-esque creations, and I’m absolutely positive that I’m going to pepper in some gaming sets here and there. This trio ofPokemonlegendary birds (Zapdos, Moltres, Articuno) is pretty much perfect....
