I got a box of donuts for everyone here, and they’re all filled with reviews I’ve recently written over at GamerDad.com! Please click on the links and read as many as you can, and maybe even post a ‘like’ or comment or two. I’d appreciate it. Ok, dig in!
Pac-Man and Krispy Kreme have teamed up for a promotion. You can get some Pac-Man themed donuts for a limited time! I don’t know how long they’ll last, or even if they’ll be around by the time this article posts, but I managed to get some myself so let’s take a look at them!
I discovered recently that Animal Crossing PEZ dispensers actually exist, so I had to get them since Animal Crossing is my 2nd favorite game of all time. My first favorite game is Pac-Man, and I’m surprised they don’t have PEZ dispensers of those (yet). Anyway, here are pictures of the ones I got, plus a bonus.
I freaking love the Bluey TV show! It’s a kids show but has so much to offer for adults, too. And I even reviewed a Bluey video game last year. The show is set (and animated) in Australia, and stars a family of four cartoon Australian Cattle Dogs, or Blue Heelers for short. The family consists of Bluey, the titular playful and curious six year old, her younger sister Bingo, and their parents: Bandit and Chilli. They all learn lessons through play and imagination, and some of the topics are more serious things that only adults would truly understand. These can range from moving away, infertility, dealing with ADHD, and even death. The show strikes a balance between making things easy for kids to understand, but deep enough to keep adults interested. So when I got the opportunity to play a Bluey board game with my 5 year old nephew and 3 year old twin nieces, I was thrilled and decided I would review it. In the game, up to four takes turns moving around the board, and everyone works together to try and find and pick up all the toys before bedtime. If you do, everyone wins!
On a small island grows a tree of life. Animals sprout from this tree with little symbols dangling from their heads that gives them their job. Everyone is happy with this until one day the tree starts wilting. The last animal to come from that tree is a little cat with a sun symbol on top of its head. You play as that cat as you farm, fish, forage, and help out your neighbors as you try and restore the tree to its former glory in this simple farming sim.
Help a cat and rabbit run a pizza restaurant! Grow fresh ingredients and prepare them into delicious pizzas for customers in this action packed farming and restaurant sim on Switch.
One of my guilty pleasures is watching ghost investigator shows and silly paranormal stuff like that. So I’m always up for playing a game about ghosts, too. In Polterguys, you play as a cute little spirit who can possess different objects. In the game you must possess items and gather ecto energy and other power-ups to keep away from a bigger, meaner, shadowy ghost and be the last one standing in this multiplayer focused title.
For someone who has never played Vampire Survivor, I sure have reviewed lots of clones of it! I’ve reviewed ones with cats, frogs, and even wizards. And now here’s one with submarines! The creatures of the ocean have become monstrous and violent due to toxic waste, and it’s up to you to pilot your cute little submarine to shoot them and save the day.
I don’t know what “Moe” means, but isn’t “Waifu” what you hook your internet up to? Just joking! I know it means like a pretend girlfriend or something. Anyway, in this game you solve block pushing puzzles while unlocking outfits for anime ladies.
And that’s all for now! Thanks for reading my reviews and posting ‘likes’ and comments on them. I do appreciate it! Later! --Cary
I was going to mention the Krispy Kream Pac-Man doughts when I saw them, but I figured you would already know about them. I love the Team Ghost one.
They're all just way too sweet for me. I ended up giving them to my relatives who were with me when I got them.
I rarely eat such stuff myself.
Yeah I've always been like that, even as a little kid. When I would turn away from candy and sodas, people would look at me like i had three heads.
I remember one Halloween, I stored all my candy in my desk drawer and it lasted me all the way to the next Halloween. That's how slowly I ate it. Haha. Everyone was into the latest candy or bubblegum, but I just had an occational Starburst candy or a Three Musketeers and that's it. I just never had a strong interest in the sweets.
3 Musketeers are good. But when I eat a candy bar, I usually half it and save the rest for later.
I haven't had a candybar in I don't know how long. I recently saw Baby Ruth bars in the background of a W.C. Fields film from the 30s. Weird seeing candybars that far back.
I read that candy bars were really popular in the 20s and 30s.
Neat! That's interesting and something I'll try to remember when I cover that era again next year. The history of the candy bar... that would be a fun topic.
The history of a lot of food brands in general is pretty interesting to me.
I was just learning about Betty Crocker.
The only things I know about that are there a lot of Betty Crocker cookbooks and cake mixes.
Yeah, there are new ones even today.
I wonder if I should get my mom a new BC cookbook?
The newest one I saw was Vintage Betty Crocker Recipes or something like that. It appeared in my library's new book section a few weeks ago.
I bet my mom would like that one.
That strawberry donut looked ok but I had Tim Horton's the first time the other day and ... yeah, I don't really care about donuts.
I don't even know what Tim Horton's is!
Canadian breakfast place. There's one in Austin.
I lived in Austin when I was in college but that was many, many years ago. One of my best friends got a job in Austin after working abroad for many years, so I just might have to go visit there again.
