Signing Off Until Toy Fair!

This is just a notice for fans of the site – I’m going to be busy between the actual job and preparing for my trip to New York! There’s lots of reviews I still need to do, but I only have so much energy right now. So I’ll just focus on the essentials.

And of course, if for some reason Hasbro or another company decides to do a press release on new items, I’ll find time to squeeze it in here.

Coverage will start on Friday, even if it’s more of a “Traveling to NY” post!

However, between their lesser capabilities and their current price point, you may end up waiting on the purchase. Continue reading

Nerf Modulus Ghost Ops Shadow Review

Holding six darts in an internal magazine, the blaster is fun to use and performs acceptably as a blaster. However, if you aren’t interested in the aesthetic aspects of the blaster or are looking for better performance (or modification), there are better blasters out there.

Buffdaddy’s Game Report!

I’m notoriously horrible at reporting on different games I’ve attended, and usually post footage as an afterthought. However, considering the great people and venues I’ve been at, I thought I’d at least highlight a couple places here in the Midwestern US.
