Best way to start the weekend is with a dub in the Knockout Tour. #MarioKartWorld

Reading amazing Spider-man 308. I like the nod to the former artists Steve Ditko, John Romita Sr, Ron Frenz, Ross Andru, John Romita Jr, Gil Kane. #comicbooks

Building the Lego Mario Kart has been so fun. One of my favorite builds this year so far. I love the stand you build, it really allows you to display the kart in multiple positions. Now time to start building Mario. #lego #mariokart

This morning I did my first ever dumpster dive and found a trove of games. I was just out on a walk and saw what looked like Xbox 360 games by a dumpster, decided to go over and check it out. Unfortunately all the ds cases were missing the games, but all the others had the games in them.

Enjoying a walk this morning to get a coffee and listening to the banger Mega Man X OST.

Sad to hear George Wendt passed away, from Norm on Cheers to Da Bears on SNL. Cheers was one of my favorite shows. Norm and Cliff always stole the show for me.

Been playing TMNT on the NES, and have been struggling. So it’s time to get the power, Nintendo Power. #retrogaming #nes

Combat I thought could have been a little smoother. I did like the switching between Naoe and Yasuke. But majority of the time I played as Naoe. Visually the game was amazing.

Finished Assassin’s Creed Shadows. I give it 6.5/10 I liked the main story line. If you do the side missions, it really gets repetitive after awhile, could have used fewer of those. #PS5 #AssassinsCreedShadows

Wish the Hydlide game for NES was as spectacular as this art work in Amazing Spider-Man 330 but alas it was not. #retrogaming

I remember seeing this ad, Amazing Spider-Man 305, for Metal Gear for NES, thinking there was no way it could have all this equipment. Unfortunately when I rented it, I wasn’t good enough to compete the game or find it all. I definitely need to go back and play this one. #retrogaming

Frogger on 8 different platforms! From the back cover of Amazing Spider-Man 252. Which version did you play it on? I’ve only played it on the Atari 2600. #retrogaming

Went to the Longshot Comic and Toy show today in Salem, VA. I was able to add some great comics to the collection today. Particularly happy to get the first appearance of Deadpool, it’s been one on my list to get for a long time. #comicbooks #comics

Even out of town, I can sniff out a good yard sale.
