Sigma Comics Here Comes Calico issue 6 Kickstarter has launched
27/10/2022 Duration: 29minHere Comes Calico from Sigma Comics has been firing on all cylinders! Great story - yup, who doesn't love seeing someone stand up to animal abusers? Good artwork - the visual aesthetic fits the story line and adds a little extra oomph to the overall experience. Compelling characters - there are enough interesting and relatable characters in the first five issues to launch endless spinoff stories. These aren't your run of the mill characters either. There is a gang of little people and one of the most feared crime bosses has Down Syndrome. This series does not shy away from using characters that fall outside the spectrum of normal comic book tropes. The hero of the story is not against using extreme violence to extract justice for animals that are being abused. Blood, gore, and brutal reality are presented in the story in such a way that it doesn't feel forced. The violence in the story actually fits the narrative and helps define the main character, Calico. I like to describe this series as if The Boys and th

McDonald’s Halloween Happy Meal review
21/10/2022 Duration: 06minMcDonald's is really going after that nostalgia. It has been 6 years (2016) since they have done the Happy Meal buckets for Halloween. I remember trick or treating back in the day and most of the kids were carrying these buckets to collect their candy. The poor kids like myself just carried our candy around in an old pillowcase.

Iron Studios E.T. and Elliot 1:10 Scale Statue unbox and review
19/10/2022 Duration: 06minThis E.T. and Elliot statue captures the iconic moment from the movie where E.T. helps everyone escape from the authorities by levitating the bikes above the pursuers. Product Summary A boy carries in his bicycle basket, wrapped in a white sheet, an unusual friend, a small alien lost on Earth that is being pursued by government forces. In their flight to find their fellow men and return to his world, the two friends run towards a California forest, where the spacecraft that will rescue him must land. To escape a police blockade, the little alien uses its telekinetic abilities to levitate the bike, lifting them into the air and flying over the trees towards their destination. This memorable scene, also used in the film's promotion, has become one of the most recognizable and striking images in cinema, even becoming the logo of Amblin Entertainment, Steven Spielberg's film producer, and now also proudly replicated in the "ET & Elliot" Statue - Art Scale 1:10 - ET - Iron Studios".

Atari Graveyard dig in Alamogordo New Mexico game cartridge
10/10/2022 Duration: 09minThe Atari Graveyard was an urban legend for many years. The rumor was in 1983 Atari dumped a few semi truckloads of Atari product when the games market bottomed out. This was just after the infamous E.T. game that tanked (I personally kinda liked the game). They unfairly pinned the demise of Atari on the E.T. game so much that it became synonymous with video game failures. In 2014 a group got together to either prove or disprove the urban legend. The old dumpsite had been closed and covered over for many years. Some of the old dump workers got together and their memories and pictures from when Atari arrived to dump stuff and they narrowed it down to about 4 acres of possibility. On April 16, 2014 they excavated some of the buried Atari products. The city of Alamogordo was allowed to keep some of the findings and they have been selling them on Ebay. For me, it is a very cool little nerdy thing to have. They will likely keep them listed on Ebay until they all sell. Just do a search for "Atari Burial Alamogordo"

McDonald’s Cactus Plant Flea Market Adult Happy Meal review
04/10/2022 Duration: 06minMost adults have fond memories of begging your parents to stop at McDonald's for a happy meal. The anticipation of getting that one of a kind shaped box was almost as exhilarating as Christmas morning. It wasn't the food in the happy meal that got your adrenaline pumping, it was the prize! Happy Meals have had some of the most desired toys for kids over the decades. They had everything from McDonald's themed toys to blockbuster movie tie-in stuff. At one point they even had a separate collection of toys for boys and girls. When I heard they were coming out with an Adult Happy Meal complete with a toy, my curiosity was piqued. I was afraid it would be another attempt to force healthy food on us. I was ecstatic when I found out it was basically a supersized kids happy meal! You can pick between a Big Mac or 10 piece McNuggets. Watch the video to see what I think about the new Adult Happy Meal. SUBSCRIBE to watch more videos like this one!

Titanic Hotel Belfast quick review
03/10/2022 Duration: 06minI was invited to attend Northern Ireland Comic Con in Belfast. I took a week to travel around Northern Ireland and Ireland to take in all the beautiful country. The first stop was Belfast by way of New York City JFK and London Heathrow. The Titanic Hotel is located in the Titanic Quarter of Belfast. It is conveniently right across the street from the Titanic Museum. The hotel itself, is the old headquarters of Harland & Wolff, builders of Titanic. They really did a great job of modernizing the building while maintaining a lot of the old structure. There are lots of awesome pieces of art detailing the history of White Star Line and the Titanic. The Titanic Hotel Belfast is a great hotel to stay at for one night while you are visiting the Titanic Museum. The history and ambience of the Titanic Hotel are top notch and their bar and dining are amazing. If you plan on staying in Belfast for more than one night, I suggest getting a room in downtown Belfast for the other nights, mostly due to the price. SUBSCRI

Mooby’s Cowtipper Burgers and Fries meal kit from Goldbelly review
10/09/2022 Duration: 13minI am a huge Kevin Smith fan. When I heard they were doing Mooby's pop-up restaurants around the country I got excited... until I saw none would be near me. I did a deep dive on Google and discovered the next best thing. You can get the Mooby's Cowtipper delivered right to your door. The only catch is... you have to prepare it yourself! I decided to put on my chef's hat and make another episode of Dude Food. Manufacturer Description Mooby’s is shipping its burgers nationwide on Goldbelly! Sink your teeth into a juicy double Cow Tipper along with a side of French fries and exquisite chocolate covered pretzels! Along with supplies for six burgers, your order comes with purple cups, napkins, and fry boats! Snoochie Boochies, Funployees! Jay and Silent Bob are striking back in a major way by bringing Mooby’s — heretofore only known as a fictional burger joint in Kevin Smith films like “Dogma,” “Clerks II” and the “Jay and Silent Bob” franchise — to life. Spurred by a successful pop-up in West Hollywood, Mooby’s Co
