The first issue of the new Bloodborne comic has dropped, and I just read it. This is the fifth volume of Bloodborne comics to come out. I'm only just finding out about these thanks to free comic book day last month which featured part of this issue. Here's a pic of the cover I got. There are at least four alternate covers. I liked this one the best. 

Around this time of year, I like to make a list of my best games SO FAR, because usually the AAA titles are released later in the year during the holiday season, and the titles that came out earlier tend to be forgotten.  So here’s when those games get their due.  Keep in mind that this is my list only and no other outside opinions contributed.  And if a game isn’t on this list, it either just didn’t appeal to me as much or I haven’t had a chance to play it yet.  Ok with that out of the way, let’s begin!

Getting bargain bin comics is always fun for me. I get to check out a new series without much financial risk and there are usually some old video game ads within. These are from two issues of the comic Terra about a female hero who can control rocks. 

It was last weekend (May 7th) in my area, and I picked up a half dozen or so previews for new or recently released comics. Most of these inside contained excerpts from full comics to come. It got me looking forward to a few. 

I found more interesting video game print ads in old comics I picked up in the bargain bin at my comic shop (Ren and Stimpy and Pirates of Dark Water no. 1).

I always save any game ads I see in comics. Some of them are pretty cool. They don't seem to do this in recent comics though. Here are three I found recently.

Let’s start 2022 off right with some reviews I’ve written recently at GamerDad.com.  Please click on the reviews and read as many as you like, and maybe even post a ‘like’ or comment or two.  I’d appreciate it.  OK let’s begin!

This week I found a video game ad in The Spectre #19 from 1994. Here's a pic. 

I am going through my installed games list on Xbox One from smallest file size to largest, uninstalling ones that I finish or just get tired of. I also added a few by buying them on a sale. 

I couldn't resist a quick chat on my comics reading and console-setup. Here goes. 

I'm finally following 5 different series but don't really want to start a pull-list with my comic's store. I like to see what's out and make a decision to buy rather than commit to some issues I may not want. I take the risk of certain series being sold out, but that's not too likely since I'm not following a lot of really popular titles, I don't think. Here are today's reads. 

Oh boy, oh boy, it's comics day again! I found some good ones this time. I even had some Hope's Cookies too afterward. It's been a while since I did that. I was a little bit afraid of the sugar rush, but gladly it didn't happen. So let's see what I got as well as my progress with Doctor Strange Epic Collection Vol. 4.  

Games of the Decade: Expansion Pass #14/Blog a Day #17

Games of the Decade: Expansion Pass #21/Blog a Day #10

There will be four comics Wednesdays this month. Sometimes I get something video game related, but even if I don't, comics go in my toy box with games and miniatures; they all seem to go together. So this is what I got today. 

I suddenly got the notion to get back into comic reading. I picked up a few things today and will go back every Wednesday to see what's new. I'm not sure I'll follow what I used to, so we'll see, but here's what I got today. 

I started writing blogs for 1UP in 2010. That's about all. The rest is contained in this list of media I enjoyed that year. 

Not much going on for me in 2009, when I look back. I read a lot of books and played a lot of games. I bought a new laptop, an Inspiron from Dell that's still working today. The urge to upgrade is very strong right now.  Here are some of my favorite media from 2009. 

2008 was about the end of my music career, if I can call it that. We still jammed a lot but we only played one summer pool party gig. Even though the band was fading, I was still heavily invovled with various media, mostly gaming and reading. Here are five of my favorites from five different media formats. 

Got another batch of game reviews I’ve recently written over at GameDad.com, including my coverage of the first ever PAX Online.  Yeah, don’t expect much.  But please read it anyway along with my other reviews, and maybe post a ‘like’ or comment or two.  I’d really appreciate it.  OK let’s begin!

I guess a lot of people were watching American Idol and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest; playing Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter, listening to High School Musical and reading yet another James Patterson book, but I was somewhere else (except for Pirates, I do like those movies). Below describes just where. 

Bagels with Cream Cheese and a side of leftover WingStop isn’t the ideal breakfast but it was tasty yet now I would like a nap and it’s only 10:55am. Let’s get productive before I give in and ruin this humid, hazy (lots of smoke in the air because California is on fire) Tuesday morning. Let’s get started with things before I forget. I may have a good rant.
