What is in that burlap bag?  Look below this and you will find out

Sir Francis Drakes Lost Ring. This is from Uncharted and it is a Geek Fuel Exclusive

Uncharted  4 mini posters. They are also Geek Fuel Exclusives.

All In all, I am very happy with this box.  I am not a Games of Thrones fan but my husband likes it so he is happy with the Game of Thrones items in May's Geek Fuel box. I don't play Uncharted but the Uncharted items are still cool.  Now I do love Deadpool so I am very happy with my new Deadpool desk mate and the "ouchie" sketch. The game sounds interesting and I do love my Geek Fuel pint glass.  Just like any other geek subscription box there will be times that I don't like all the products but I am happy with them and their price is worth it and I do recommend Geek Fuel.

I Want To Be Human Game Review



The product(s) featured in this review were provided free of cost to me by the manufacturer or representing PR agency for the sole purpose of product testing. Opinions expressed are my own and are NOT influenced by monetary compensation. 




Everyone knows the age-old love story, right? Boy meets girl, boy falls in love with girl, boy and girl suffer genetic manipulation by evil forces trying to take over the world, leaving the girl as a vampire and the boy as a hat… wait, what? There’s only one thing for it: go on a bloodthirsty rampage of death and destruction in a quest to become human again! 

Packed with platform blasting action, tongue-in-cheek humour and tons of exploding body parts, head out on a journey through hell and back (literally) to change you both back to normal. Unlock abilities you never knew you had, then shoot your way through five worlds of blood-soaked monochrome mayhem and who knows, you might even set a new high score (ahem) along the way… 

  • Blast your way through a violent platforming tale of vampire/hat love, betrayal, and endless destruction, all drenched in pixelated gore! 
  • Go crazy with your trusty shotgun and take the fight to the minions and massive bosses who hold the cure to your kick-ass condition! 
  • Discover a world packed with off-the-wall dark humour and a unique art style from the twisted mind of Sinclair Strange! 
  • Featuring music tracks by electropunk sensation Jimmy Urine from Mindless Self Indulgence!
This game is for PC and if you want to purchase the game you can do so at the Steam store.

MY THOUGHTS

This isn't really what I would usually play but it sounded interesting. Unfortunately, this game wasn't the greatest.  I love that you get to unlock a bunch of achievements but the controls aren't that great. I didn't find this game that entertaining either.  Maybe some of you will like this game but personally, it just didn't do it for me.

I give this game 2 out of 5

Miller and Gina Carano,DEADPOOL is a giddy slice of awesomeness packed with more twists than my enemies’ intestines and more action than prom night. Amazeballs!

MY THOUGHTS

When I had heard about this movie I was all worried that it wouldn't be good but I tried to keep my expectation low.  

I am so happy to say that I found Deadpool movie to be very well done and I am so happy with Ryan Reynolds' performance.    I loved every minute of this movie and I loved the Canadian jokes/references. 

Deadpool is very funny and very entertaining. It is very well written and I LOVE everything about this movie.

I give Deadpool 5 out of 5.

The 100: The Complete Third Season Dvd And Bluray Release Date



Reunited with the survivors of the space-station Ark that fell to Earth, Clarke Griffin and her band of juvenile delinquents have faced death at every turn: from a world transformed by radiation to the fierce Grounders who somehow managed to survive it, and the double-dealing Mountain Men from the fortified Mount Weather, whose civilized environment masked a horrible secret. Though Clarke was alternately challenged, supported and betrayed by her own people and alliances with the Grounders, they could always find common ground in survival. United with the Grounder tribes, Clarke and her friends faced off against the lethal forces of Mount Weather to rescue the remaining “Sky People” from the Ark who were being held captive in Mount Weather.  But victory came with a terrible price. The challenges continue in season three as they not only determine what kind of lives they will build, but what it will ultimately cost them.

MAJOR CRIMES: THE COMPLETE FOURTH SEASON



The fourth electrifying season of Major Crimes finds the elite team of investigators facing some of their most challenging criminal cases yet. The division is led by department head Captain Sharon Raydor, portrayed by Oscar® nominee Mary McDonnell (Dances with Wolves, Battlestar Galactica). The unit is comprised of Lieutenant Provenza (G.W. Bailey, The Closer, M*A*S*H, Police Academy), Lieutenant Andy Flynn (Tony Denison, The Closer, Crime Story), Lieutenant Mike Tao (Michael Paul Chan, The Closer, Arrested Development), Detective Julio Sanchez (Raymond Cruz, The Closer, Training Day), Detective Amy Sykes (Kearran Giovanni, One Life to Live), tech expert and reserve police officer Buzz Watson (Phillip P.

During the fourth gripping season of Major Crimes, our favorite squad of detectives is put in charge of solving a series of intriguing new cases.

a murder that happens during the taping of a reality competition show; the death of a young man who was pushed off the top of a parking structure and several other fascinating cases.  As season four unfolds, Captain Sharon Raydor’s adopted son, Rusty Beck (Graham Patrick Martin, The Closer, Two and a Half Men), finds a passion that drives him, investigative journalism, as he works to uncover the identity of a murdered runaway. It’s an exciting season filled with captivating cases and engaging stories about the lives of the officers and prosecutors whose job is to deal with LA’s most high profile and sensitive crimes.

Miraculous™: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir Review

The product(s) featured in this review were provided free of cost to me by the manufacturer or representing PR agency for the sole purpose of product testing. Opinions expressed are my own and are NOT influenced by monetary compensation. 



Marinette and Adrien, two seemingly normal kids  live what appears to be an ordinary teen life in Paris with daily encounters that create amusing circumstances in school,  with friends, family, and even with strangers. But when the evil Hawk Moth threatens their beloved city of Paris, they transform into the superheroes Ladybug and Cat Noir using super powers gained with the help of their magical friends. Hawk Moth is using his evil energy to transform normal people into super villains, so our two heroes need to use all their skills to defeat him.

Becoming Ladybug is a complicated process. First, Marinette needs a "Kwami," which is a tiny magical assistant (called Tikki). She also needs a "Miraculous," which is a magical accessory (her special pair of earrings). Tikki uses the Miraculous to transform Marinette, but her Ladybug super powers only work for a limited time!

It is a good thing that she gets a little help from her superhero partner, Cat Noir even though she insists she doesn't need him. If only she knew Cat Noir's true identity – her school crush, Adrien! It will take a lot – friendship, teamwork and skill – to outwit Hawk Moth. Will Ladybug and Cat Noir be able to balance their double lives and keep Paris safe? Will they ever find out each other's true identity? Until then – there is a whole city of baddies to defeat… SPOTS ON, CLAWS OUT!
Miraculous™: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir episodes include:
“The Bubbler,” “Mr. Pigeon,” “Stormy Weather,” “Timebreaker,” “Copycat,” “The Pharoah,” and “Lady Wifi”!

Bonus Features:
Episode Animatics
Sing-Along
Cast and Crew Interviews



MY THOUGHTS

This is such a cute show. It is fun and keeps kids and adult entertained. 

I loved the graphics and the acting is good.  

I do highly recommend this.  


I give 5 out of 5.

The DVD is available (in the US at this point) at Walmart, Best Buy (with an exclusive mask), Target (with an exclusive sticker pack), and online on amazon
