I opened my latest Loot Crate today, the February 2016 Loot Crate: Dead. I receive the newest Loot Crate every month to unbox and review. It is something that I have been doing ever since the very first one years ago. Ever since I’ve received some incredible stuff from the Loot Crate company. This month even though I only had use for half the box I still received some great stuff. You’ll notice that I pretty much only photographed the Deadpool stuff and the monthly magazine and the Loot Pin. That was all that was of use to me. Since the theme was Dead this meant that it would include some Walking Dead stuff in the crate. I’m not a fan. And because this month was the month that Deadpool was being released then the other half of the box would have Deadpool related stuff in it. I am a fan. I love the shirt and the special statue. I was even lucky enough to receive the more rare X-Force suit for Deadpool. This is a white suit instead of his usual red one. They must have a really good dry cleaner on X-Force.
As far as the Walking Dead Stuff I have a friend who loves the show and he’d enjoy the Walking Dead stuff inside. I’m not one for zombies, they hold no interest for me. At least I have a friend who will get some use out of the stuff and this month’s box as well. That is Walking Dead related, too.
I am also a very big fan of the new way that Loot Crate does pins. These are now die cast pins instead of buttons and they unlock some additional special items online. Some really excellent additions to an already great crate of loot.
This post is part of my monthly Netflix #StreamTeam Series and this month we were asked about our family nights. What are family nights like in our house? Well, they are not typically on Friday, Saturday or Sunday nights because of my funky work schedule so they have to be another night during the week. This does not mean that we don’t eat dinner with each other every night that we can or spend some time watching the TV. But for a big time night with the family and family time being the important time we try and watch a movie together, play a family video game or board game. As far as meals on family nights we try and either make something or go and get some takeout from our favorite places. We also go and pop a ton of popcorn, grab some M&Ms and other mix-ins for the popcorn and house that whole bowl. The kids and Allison usually are on the couch and I get the loveseat because it isn’t unheard of for me to fall asleep while watching a movie, especially with my weird schedule.
There are so many choices on Netflix and many great family options. Here are a few suggestions when you are looking for something for one of your family nights.
