End of the Year Toy Review Previews

High Climber
Photo-A-Day #4258

I picked up Andrew after school today and we headed over to my parents house. He now enjoys climbing ladders as you can see. I also had no fear at 5 years old. But back to the reason I was at my parent’s house in the first place. I was going there to help out with their new Comcast X1 Xfinity boxes and router and more. I set up a couple of their TVs and also the Router. The downstairs TV took some doing because it was just old enough that it doesn’t have a dedicated HDMI plug. It did have a DVI plug and so yesterday I went and got a DVI to HDMI adapter and thought I was all set but was wrong. The DVI to HDMI plug only does video and not audio. Getting Audio and video was through some old AV plugs and the picture was not good. So I saw the optical audio plugs and thought that a wire for that would work. Unfortunately, both the DVR and TV had outputs. Eventually I got HD video and sound by playing around with the plugs and trial and error. That is usually how I fix things.

Tonight I went to my buddy Brian’s house to record SteamDads. We tried an experiment and it did not work. So we did a couple of other things instead. They ended up working out pretty cool but our video is going to be an interesting one and we are staying away from chemicals for a while.

I made today’s video late at night before bed. I’ve got a ton of toy reviews to finish up before Christmas. I’m just getting many thing sent to me, which is not a bad thing. However, I’ve gotten a bit behind. All the toys in the video will need reviews by the end of next week. That way people have enough time to go and buy the ones that they like the most.

I’m also doing a giveaway of the Gremlins Team Pack. Here is how to enter.

Some #HalosFun & A Visit to Friendly Neighborhood Comics

Lunch out with Andrew
Photo-A-Day #4257

Andrew and I went to Bellingham today to meet fellow Youtuber Midnight Owl to give her some books for The Haunted Mansion as well as a set of Nightmare Before Christmas Tsum Tsums.

While we were there we went into Friendly Neighborhood Comics. Andrew convinced me, with no prompting whatsoever, to buy a couple of Funko Pops. I got white Canary and The Atom from DC’s Legends of Tomorrow.

When we came home Halos sent me a box of #HalosFun. I am partnering with #HalosFun to spread Pure Goodness. The Fun Pack had coupons and more to enjoy the fun of Halos. I’ll be doing some more posts and activities with Halos soon, so be on the lookout.

Tonight, Allison and I went into Boston for an overdue night out together. We went to see the movie, A Monster Calls, as part of a sneak preview screening. The movie arrives in select theaters on December 23rd and then nationwide on January 6. Here is the description of the movie.

A visually spectacular and unabashedly emotional drama from director J.A. Bayona (“The Impossible”). 12-year-old Conor (Lewis MacDougall) is dealing with far more than other boys his age. His beloved and devoted mother (Felicity Jones) is ill. He has little in common with his imperious grandmother (Sigourney Weaver). His father (Toby Kebbell) has resettled thousands of miles away. But Conor finds a most unlikely ally when the Monster (portrayed by Liam Neeson in performance-capture and voiceover) appears at his bedroom window one night. Ancient, wild, and relentless, the Monster guides Conor on a journey of courage, faith, and truth that powerfully fuses imagination and reality.

The movie was very well done, the artwork was incredible. I enjoyed it. It was beautifully done and had an interesting story. You can learn more about it on the social channels for the movie and also through the trailer below.
