Puzzle Power


Photo-A-Day #3314

I had such a successful afternoon making puzzles with Andrew today. After last week where I was so frustrated with the kid he goes and turns things around complete on me and we have a fantastic time making a Toy Story Puzzle. I try and help him with tips on how to find pieces that go together. Tips like, look for the eyes of this character, those will be pieces that go together, can you find the eyes. Since he knows what eyes are and he can figure out pieces with eyes that is a good place to start. He isn’t quite understanding the whole, smooth sides go on the outside concept be he is doing really well at puzzle building.

DVD Review: Transformers Energon: The Complete Series

Transformers Energon The Complete Series Growing up as a Transformers fan I made sure to watch everything and anything that came along. I watched all of Transformers Armada (part one of the Unicron Trilogy of shows) and then went right into Transformers Energon. I collected the toys and have most of them still in the boxes. I have a ton of them because I still had a little discretionary income to use on toys. I liked the concept of the Powerlinking that the characters did. Being able to combine characters with each other and thus mix and match up the team was an interesting concept.

The show itself was okay. There was a blending of CGI and traditional cel animation which gave the show a unique look. I know I enjoyed watching the show because it was Transformers. I am also sure that I liked Transformers Cybertron more and then got really excited when Transformers Animated and Transformers Prime came along.

Here are some clips from the show and a Press Release about the May 6th release of the DVD collected series. Continue reading DVD Review: Transformers Energon: The Complete Series
