Stepping Out in Sakaaran Style at the Thor: Ragnarok World Premiere – #ThorRagnarokEvent

On the Red CarpetOn October 9 – 11 I attended a Disney Press Event. My hotel and airfare and meals were taken care of while I was in L.A. Opinions and observations as well as recaps and such are all my own. This post will also contain some affiliate links to Amazon.com.

When I first received the invite to attend the Thor: Ragnarok I was incredibly excited. Then I panicked. I’ve never done a red carpet before. I am a jeans and t-shirt kind of guy and have absolutely nothing to wear to this. Do I wear a suit, what do I do? I’ve seen friends attend and they look really good in their suits and shirts and have awesome poses. I’m overly critical of myself and was really worried about how I was going to look.

the women on the trip were all talking about what types of dresses they would wear and when they asked questions about what they should wear and it was suggested that they take a look at the colors of the movie I got an idea. I was going to be wearing black pants, that was a given, black pants work for whatever. I also needed new shoes so I looked for something I knew I would like. I needed a really solid shoe with a more blunted toe. I would also need a new belt. I discovered something really cool when looking for my new belt, ratcheting belts. I looked first at the buckles and then the belts themselves to find my new one. Socks were going to be fun and comic book related so I got a four pack of Marvel Superhero socks that included some Hulk ones. Then it was the shirt. I wasn’t going to go full suit, pants and a shirt were the way to go for me. I started searching for green shirts. I either wanted something a dark emerald green for Hela or a lighter green for Hulk. What I found worked as a theme for both of them. I found a shift that was light green like this version of hulk but had these spiky black designs like Hela’s helmet. It worked perfectly.

If you’d like to get my look for just over $100, you can through Amazon.com. That’s how I did all my shopping.

I was ready for this. I couldn’t wait to get there and experience this amazing event. Continue reading Stepping Out in Sakaaran Style at the Thor: Ragnarok World Premiere – #ThorRagnarokEvent →

Review: Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle

Mario Rabbids

I received a copy of the new game from Ubisoft called Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle for the Nintendo Switch. I got it for free to play with and review. I can legitimately say, I’m loving this game!

I totally love puzzles and complex games. I enjoy trying to figure out problems and the best way to solve them. I also enjoy things that are funny. The game is easy to start playing. You start out with Mario, Rabbid Peach and Rabbid Luigi. These Rabbids characters have crossed into the Mushroom Kingdom and they are causing all sorts of crazy havoc. The Rabbids have discovered an Augmented reality helmet, the SupaMerge. With it they can combine two things and make something new. They can combine a lamp and a flower to make a flower lamp. The Rabbids take the device to the Mushroom World. There the device malfunctions and the kingdom gets torn apart. Your quest it to put things right again. You are also aided by an artificial intelligence named Beep-O.

The Game is filled with all the humor that you would expect from the mischievous Rabbids. Where Mario and his friends are kind to everyone, the Rabbids do their own thing. There is one hilarious moment where Rabbid Peach knocks over a large pile of blocks that a Rabbid Donkey Kong is atop of. As he falls she snaps selfies of him in the background. Rabbid Donkey Kong is a fun boss to take on.

A Donkey Kong Rabbid

I’ve gone through 9 of the worlds so far and each gets a little harder than the next. Along the way you can upgrade your characters skills, weapons and secondary weapons. My copy of the game came with some DLC content of additional pixel based weapons. Some weapons bounce the baddies off the screen others cover them in sticky honey to prevent them from getting away. The game has already won a ton of awards, too. Take a look at this video. Continue reading Review: Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle →
