Sony Pictures Home Entertainment sent us a special Spider-Man: Far From Home themed activity care package and a copy of the Spider-Man: Far From Home Blu-ray Combo Pack for free to watch the movie and do the activities. Opinions are our own.

The special package that we received included a special mini suitcase that had an inflatable travel pillow that is Spider-Man themed, a couple of exclusive Night Monkey tshirts. These things are spectacular. There were some items to do some nifty science experiments which you can do at home, just download the .PDF below.

The kit also contained some items that we could use to make some special Mysterio cupcakes. Let’s just say that they involved cotton candy! You can see the one that Eva made in the photo above. We also received a copy of the movie on Blue-ray and my review is below.

In Spider-Man Far From Home we find Peter Parker and his friends on a special field trip overseas. Peter just wants to have a nice normal time with his friends without all the craziness of being a super hero. The problem is, being a super hero doesn’t mean that you get any time off. At any moment there could be a huge lava monster trying to attack you and your friends at a carnival. Maybe you are going to a nice gondola ride and a water villain attacks. Or maybe super spy, Nick Fury straight up kidnaps you and makes you help some new hero. Poor Peter.

I enjoyed Spider-Man Far From Home very much. It came quickly on the heels of Avengers: Endgame and it is very much an epilogue for the first 10 years of the MCU. Peter already has great responsibility and he gets even more heaped upon him when he received E.D.I.T.H.. E.D.I.T.H.is a pair of glasses that Tony Stark left to Peter along with everything that it controls in Stark Industries. Peter is not quite sure he wants all that responsibility and so when given the chance to find a hero who is more worthy than him he decides to give up the control and E.D.I.T.H.. Not exactly the smartest thing that Peter could do because that hero ends up being a fraud and Peter has to again learn from a big mistake and set things right.

The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening – First Impressions


Photo-A-Day 2.0 #00273

We just received The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening for free from Nintendo to play with and review. Opinions are our own.

I never played the original version of The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening when it came out on the Game Boy and Game Boy color. I had a Game Boy and The original The Legend of Zelda game was one of my favorite games. I wonder why I had never played or heard of this particular Zelda game before. So, I went into this game with no pre-conceived notions or ideas about the game. This was a brand new and exciting game for me.

Immediately I felt like I was playing the original Legend of Zelda game. You start out by waking up on an island after a boat accident. You are in the home of two characters, Tarin and Marin. They nursed you back to health and managed to secure your shield. You have to go and find your sword. From there you go through a series of tasks to help the village. Link’s ultimate goal however is to gather 8 special musical instruments so that he can wake the Wind Fish. What is the Wind Fish? I am not exactly sure but Link cannot escape the island until he wakes this Wind Fish. Gameplay is fun and there are even side-scrolling parts to the game. Most is overhead view and Link has to solve a ton of puzzles but that is half the fun of a Zelda game. I’ll be doing a video walk-through of the first part of the game on my YouTube Channel later on so keep ont he lookout for that.
