Star Wars and Angry Birds. Two great tastes that taste great together! Yeah, when the Angry Birds Star Wars app first came to a galaxy near, near home, I jumped all over it. And loved it to pieces. The merchandise, the characters, the game. It’s all fantastically awesome. I even did a review of a few of Hasbro’s Angry Birds Star Wars games in the past. Tons of fun games these are! Well, now they’ve …
Ryan cracks me up. Constantly. This kid is such a well, such a boy when it comes to playing. Not the rough-and-tumble sports kind of boy. But the I-can-turn-anything-on-the-planet-into-a-fun-game kind of boy. Seriously. I’ve caught him playing with my keychain in some sort of elaborate fighting game.

We never got around to buying any for Jason and Ryan, though. The closest thing were the young K’NEX sets they got when they were real little. Rubbery pieces that snap together. Well, wouldn’t you know it, but now K’NEX is …
I’m sorry, I know this post is going to tick off a large fraction of Geektopia (including my blogging bud Alison), but I have to say it. The new Doctor Who Mr. Potato Head toy is… well, pretty lame. I’m not a fan of the old Doctor Who series. My friend Dave based his entire life on that show and even wore one crazy colorful scarf all throughout college. I prided myself in constantly pointing …
