Normally Kirby welcomes you to Dream Land, but with Alarmo he now can help you leave it. Nintendo’s alarm clock, which I’ve talked about last year, lets you download new alarms and characters every so often, and earlier this year I’ve even written about that. And now there’s a Kirby themed alarm for Alarmo as well. So let’s take a look at it.

Unplugged: The Elder Scrolls: Betrayal of the Second Era (Boardgame)
Posted on October 28th, 2025 by
Many of you may be familiar with the Elder Scrolls line of role-playing videogames. The series sports games consistently found in lists of the best videogames of all time. Elder Scrolls: Arena appeared in 1994, Morrowind in 2002, Oblivion in 2006, and finally Skyrim in 2011. From Morrowind onward the games have been showered with mods, re-released and redeveloped, and it has almost become a meme to see if a particular platform can run Skyrim. With such a strong role-playing pedigree, creating a boardgame that might stand up to the series is no small task. Chip Theory Games, a company known for developing deep games using premium components have taken on the challenge and succeeded wildly. Granted, the game is not cheap (it retails over $200!) but what you get is a game that captures much of the feeling of building and growing a character in the videogame but now you get to do it together with friends while sitting around a table together! Like the videogames, Elder Scrolls: Betrayal of the Second Era can be played again and again, adventuring through multiple different provinces, pursue dozens of main quest stories, and (perhaps most importantly) construct and nurture player characters of almost innumerable variety. When one realizes the game can provide a group of 4 players with hundreds of hours of unique gameplay, one might claim the price averages out to be a bargain.
Pokémon Pirate Puffs
Posted on October 17th, 2025 by
There’s a snack brand called Pirate’s Booty that I think mostly does popcorn kind of snacks. I don’t really see them much in stores that I visit frequently, though. I think the last time I saw them was at World Market and I haven’t been there in years. But recently a close relative bought me these packs of Pirate’s Booty snacks featuring Pokémon. And you know me, I’ll write about anything video game related, no matter what it is. So let’s take a look at them!
Hallmark Halloween Pikachu Ornament
Posted on October 10th, 2025 by
Every year I always get some video game themed Christmas ornaments from Hallmark and write about them here. I plan to do that this year, too. But in this year’s batch, there was a video game themed ornament that doesn’t belong with the Christmas stuff. You see, Hallmark has gotten into making Halloween ornaments as well. While I think having a Halloween tree is a bit much, some people do like their spooky stuff! Usually they have things I’m not much interested in, like Harry Potter ornaments. And even the ones I think are kind of cool I wouldn’t get, like Peanuts and Disney’s Haunted Mansion ornaments. But when they released a Pikachu Halloween ornament this year, I just had to get it. So let’s take a look at it.

Minecraft Cookies!

Pillsbury has some pre-cut ready to bake cookies featuring Minecraft. I found them at a grocery store near where my mom lives (Brookshire’s, a local Texas chain you see around smaller towns), and we bought them and baked them last time I was visiting her. So let’s take a look at them!
