The farting Fuggler ambush at Toys R Us is something to experience. Somebody also hid them randomly around the store so we were victims of fart attacks throughout the store.

Most terrifying Happy Meal toy ever conceived? From the local classifieds here. $10 to traumatize your shildren with this horrific toy/spoon/shoehorn?

Maybe too old of a garahe-dev reference, but it had to be exorcised from my brain after watching his new video.

I'm making Astarion eat all of the tadpoles because I figure his vampirism might take care of it. I also made him a bard because watching him play pretty little songs and draw in admiring crowds while his face looks like a diseased scrotum brings me endless joy.

The best NPC in Age of Conan. (Facebook shares this with me as a fond memory every year or two).

I got this recommended ad for 3rd party add-on boobs to Optimus Prime and Megatron. Is there a Spencer's Gifts on Cybertron?

I might be more interested if the boobs could also transform into little robots like Soundwave's cassettes.

I think this newsweek writer was drinking whiskey when she wrote this article:

We've lived here nearly 20 years and never looked in our attic. Since we've been hearing noise up there, I climbed up a ladder to investigate and met our upstairs exchange student. I was hoping to find something spooky, but he actually jumped down and came over to see me.

Do you think they ever get tempted to joust while they're up there?

Yeesh Steam can be a needlessly mean place sometimes.

Apparently there's a Morbius toy that, for whatever reason, has his face melt over time, even inside the sealed package. I have decided I need one of these--the more deformed, the better. Deforbius.

Apparently there's a Harley Quinn scratch-and-sniff fart comic out soon.

1. Why.
2. Ew.
3. It'll be a collector's item so maybe buy one and try not to die of embarrassment at the counter.
4. I wonder if "unscratched and sniffed" copies will be more valuable.
5. Maybe just one sniff. For science.

Found a picture of our old devteam T-Shirt for Rainbow Six Vegas, a response to a Las Vegas mayor saying having an action game set in Vegas was "based on a false premise" and that it would hurt them economically. He tried to cancel us. It didn't work.

That adorable little Bug is an adult now.

I love when I find an image of an old toy line I'd completely forgotten and the nostalgia floods back. Remember MANTECH? Tech for the mannest of enormous-benoggined mens, it was. You could pop off various limbs and mix them up.

My attempt at fixing that portrait that's got Trump throwing tantrums. He was right, though, it didn't really look like him before.

I think I found a lost Silent Hill 2 ending in the painting section of the Value Village thrift store.

Anybody even remember those last two guys?

Oh, it's long gone now. Probably got thrown out at some point. It was ugly as hell, too - it was a hollowed out Peloquin face from Clive Barker's Nightbreed. You were meant to "ash" in a hole at the top and it would collect down in his mouth below. I wish I still had it!

I never lost once at this game.

I also worked with Diana Sherman on Watch Dogs 2 stuff, who is the niece of Stanford Sherman, writer of KRULL and The Ice Pirates. I think she probably got sick of me gushing over both KRULL and The Ice Pirates. But seriously, go watch KRULL and The Ice Pirates.

Lazy cat day in this house.

I think my wife may be planning to murder me on the 22nd.

Mojo doesn't really fit on the back of the chair anymore, but he's not a creature of logic or physics.

While I appreciate all the creepy stuff in the Exorcist III, this drunken puppet Jesus who opens his eyes to scary noises makes me giggle. All they had to do was paint them solid white (or black?) and the effect *might* have worked.

Ever since Lich King came out, I've mained a Frost Death Knight. He's done several race changes over the years (Draenei, Worgen, Kul Tiran), but I finally settled on Orc for the giant shoulders. I love the armored metal bug look he has going now:

Making this movie and not calling it Grampus is a crime.
