Pokémon Pirate Puffs

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

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.

Cary’s Best Games of 2025 SO FAR Awards Show!

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!
