Sauron and Gandalf from The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power! #SDCC
Me and my son are going to be obsessed with thumb wrestling in Nintendo Switch Sports Resort. Bowling and archery are also fantastic but the sleeper is jet skiing.
The new Legend of Zelda figures coming from Hasbro are so perfect. You can see them first at Comic-Con
Me driving around town with my son hunting very specific Pokemon for Road to Legends in Pokemon GO.
Pokemon GO revealing two new events in the middle of the night! I almost want to wake my kid up because he is going to be stoked about Mega Rayquaza.
The Pokemon Worlds Pikachu Plush (crown) and the Pokemon XP Pikachu Plush (spacesuit)
In January, I said I was excited to hopefully play GTA 6, Fable, and Judas this year. Boy, what a fool I was.
Me jumping back into The Witcher 3 after 11 years to check out the new DLC:
Got to ride the new Mandalorian and Grogu experience in Smuggler’s Run at Disneyland. A visual and mechanics upgrade that is a huge improvement. This is the ride of Summer for sure.
Got hands on Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced today! Full thoughts to come!
In its second iteration Universal Fan Fest Nights brought back its most popular experience, added a new one for its most valuable IP, put a bigger emphasis on anime, and has you solving a mystery with the Scooby Gang. I can’t wait to see how this event continues to evolve!
Saros is chaotic, visually dazzling, and plenty challenging. If you liked Returnal then this is going to make you very happy. I’m loving it so far!
And here I thought the Mario Movie would be the coolest thing to happen to us this week
