LEGO Animal Crossing Mini Packs
Last year I wrote about a couple of LEGO Animal Crossing sets I got. They have a bunch of them, but I only got the two cheapest sets. LEGOs are expensive! Well, luckily I found some cheaper ones recently because they’re just those bag packs. And since they have fewer pieces and are simpler, I was able to put them together myself. Because of my vision disability, it’s a little hard for me to put together those tiny little pieces! So I thought I’d show them off here!
Push Start Play Arcade Part 2
Push Start Play Arcade Part 1
A couple of weeks ago, my good friend that I’ve known since college and I went to a big new arcade in Lewisville, TX called Push Start Play. I don’t know if it’s the biggest arcade in Texas, but it’s got to be one of the biggest. And it had some really cool and super rare games, too. So I thought I’d talk about it here. So let’s take a tour of it!

Tomba Special Edition (Switch)
The two Tomba games are some of my favorites on the PSOne. They’re 2.5D platformers that are kind of like a cross between Klonoa and the Wonder Boy games. You play as a caveboy wild kid with pink hair named Tomba, and you fight these evil pig guys. I remember when I first saw this game at the very first E3 I ever went to and someone dressed as Tomba gave me a demo disc. I got to review both games in the series when I worked at The Dallas Morning News, too! Did you know that one of the guys who helped make the Tomba games also used to work for Capcom and helped make some of the early Ghosts N Goblins and Mega Man games there? A year or so ago they re-released this game on Switch and even made a special edition of it. I normally don’t spend that kind of money on these things, but sometimes I splurge and I got it. I’ve had it for a while and decided I would show it off when I didn’t have many games to review. Well we’ve gotten to that point so here it is!
Pokémon Valentines
A few years ago, I bought a Pokémon Valentine kit that has those little valentines like you would give out in elementary school. But I didn’t write about them because they were on clearance at Hallmark after Valentine’s Day. However, I went to Hallmark again recently and they were still selling them, so I figured, what the heck and decided to write about them anyway. So let’s take a look at them!
Cary is Looking Forward in 2026
Around this time, I like to make a list of games I’m looking forward to in the coming year. Of course, this won’t be a complete list, as there will surely be titles announced throughout the year that we don’t know about yet. Especially with the new Switch 2 console being out and all. Heck, this time last year we didn’t even know when the Switch 2 would be coming out! But these are the ones I know about so far that I want to try. So let’s begin!

Kirby at Kura Sushi
Did you know that in Japan, they have café restaurants with a Kirby theme? You can get Kirby themed food, get Kirby souvenirs at the gift shop, and even the music in the background is remixed music from the game! I would totally go to one of those if I ever went to Japan, but I don’t think I could afford to go there in the foreseeable future. So it’s lucky that Kura Sushi is doing a promotion as of this writing with Kirby! Kura Sushi is a chain of conveyor belt sushi restaurants. When you go there, if you eat enough sushi plates, you can get little prizes! Most of the time, the prizes are anime related, so I’m usually not interested in that. But a few years ago, they had Pac-Man prizes so you know I had to go to that and I even wrote an article about it here. A little while later they had Tetris prizes, but I didn’t like any of those so I didn’t go then. But a couple of years later they did have Pikmin prizes so I wrote an article about that, too. So now let’s take a look at the Kirby stuff they have this time. The promotion lasts until the end of January, so depending on when you read this, you might be able to check it out yourself, too!
