I think its worth it to buy the Skylanders stuff if you are going to be play it on multiple consoles. I know one of the Skylanders games are also available on iPad and it has a special portal. I can see Spyro being a solid title because Spyro I thought help sell the original launch of those games.

I didn't know there was a 1Up group on Facebook. I think other than the handful of folks here from 1Up and maybe one or two I follow on Instagram/Twitter I haven't kept up with anyone from there. I thought a couple of people there thought way too much of themselves and the folks I follow now are the interesting ones.
My deal with Photoshop is when in doubt, YouTube will have a tutorial. Also Lynda.com is supposed to be really good. I haven't checked out that page in a while.

That song was played so often here I couldn't stand it. What makes it worse is the local music store and radio station got together and got the guy who sang the hook to sign autographs and when my brother went to get his signature he was kind of an ass.
I really like this song. No idea what she's saying but it always reminds me of the area. Also Israel Kamakawiwo'ole (Brother IZ, I had to Google the spelling) sings in Hawaiian. He's known for Somewhere Over the Rainbow, and if you ever watched BJ Penn, he used Brother Iz's music as his entrance song
I hate that about Walmart. Why is ok to sell bullets but not CDs with cuss words? Heck they have Grand Theft Auto on the shelves with the non edited songs but its horrible to sell a CD that drops four letter words. No problem with the podcast. I like what you guys do, and I wouldn't worry about it being rough. Its new and who knows that might be part of the charm. When you guys get it rolling will it be available on iTunes?
Speaking of iTunes I finally figured out how to create a podcast playlist in the dang thing. It would be nice if Apple explained some of the features. I like iTunes, probably because I got used to it and I'm in the thick of the Universe with iDevices.
I hope Tony Bennent and Gaga do a Christmas Album. I liked their other album, and I think Gaga is one talented individual. Hahaha I never noticed but you're right, he does sound like he's just talking in a swinging manner.
I hear that a lot about Spectre. I still haven't seen it, but here's hoping to being able to check it out on Friday. At some point I will watch the first Hunger Games movie. I blame me reading the books a year before the movie. I do like Jennifer Lawrence, and the story was good, but I just can't get myself to sit and watch it.

I'm not a Peanuts fan but I like that song! I remember seeing those cars. I wasn't into buying cars at that point but I thought they were cool. The Mario car I saw on Reddit, and I just happened to find at Target. I think the local collector didn't want it.
I read your blog, and I enjoyed it. I should finish Dimensions soon just to justify my purchase on release day.

Oh I can't wait for Zoolander 2. The original was so much fun.
I actually found a way to create a list within the Podcast app. What I did was setup a station and added all my podcasts that I have a subscription to. Whenever a new one comes out, it gets added to the list. The thing is to hit edit and then arrange the podcasts in the order you want. After its played it gets erased.

This is cool that Sony is doing this but I can't justify buying games I already own. Just like Nick and Mothman, I'll stick with my PS2 and play these games. For folks that haven't played these games before or folks who want to experience these games again, this is a fun time in gaming. Mark of Kri is such a fun and cool looking game!

That's a good write up about Lego Dimensions. The instructions are available on the Lego Website if you don't want to wait to build the various packs in the game, and if you place the new character in the circle portion of the portal when you first start the game, their world is an option to play in the hub.
There are a couple of things I really like about this game: 1. you can use any figure during story mode. I used the Wicked Witch to fly around the Portal level 2. During playthrough the special sections that pop up that need specific characters. This gets people into thinking they need to buy certain fun packs to unlock it (well played Lego) 3. The licences are awesome. So many cool characters to use, but I found if you use the base 3 figures along with someone who flies and another with a laser you can get most of the hidden items.
One drawback is that the price is crazy at $100, and I bought it on release day. The price is now dropping to 70-80 which is still a bit pricey but for Lego it seems normal.

Didn't know there was an EDF game on the PS4. I know you're going to get your monies worth out of it. Good to hear about the 3DS version. I've been tempted quite a few times to get that because I've seen it on clearance at one of the Walmarts. If anything I'd probably pick up Infinity for the handhelds because I already own the figures.
