November 20th, 2020 Having super heroes as friends is both a blessing and a curse. A curse in that you better mind your P's and Q's around them or they'll "accidentally" snap you in half, shoot you into outer space or brainwash you into thinking you're a poodle. The upside to having super heroes as friends? Using them to help go shopping on Black...

October 2nd, 2020 The last time we talked about board games, we skewered five of the Worst Family Board Games. Now that we've gotten those plastic and cardboard playing nightmares out of the way, let's dive into five games that you may have missed when they came out.

September 29th, 2020 Loot Crate's Loot Fright crates are one of the most popular crate lines we offer. Lovers of horror usually start young (I saw Alien when I was 7 years old), and that love will stay with us until we're a handsome pile of bones hanging outside someone's door every Halloween (that's actually in my will). Our new Loot Fright crate theme -...

September 25th, 2020 This month's Loot Wear is the Pixar themed 'Family' clothing bonanza, with titles like Coco, Onward, The Incredibles and Monsters University being showcased on T-shirts, socks, and more. One of the best arguments to have with family and friends is which Pixar movies are the best ones. This discussion leads to lots of disagreement...

August 28th, 2020 In 1981 Namco created what would become one of the greatest arcade games of all time in the classic space shooter Galaga. This enormous arcade hit (actual revenue numbers for back in the day are hard to come by), would go on to remain a classic that is still played to this day by old and new fans. There are so many iterations and ways to...

August 7th, 2020 Nothing helps pass the time away during a pandemic than board games. Games of chance and skill have been around since at least the 1930s (at least that's what Grandpa told me when he was a young man waiting in line for bread) and everyone enjoys them. Well, people with souls enjoy them anyway. If you're the kind of person who doesn't...

July 17th, 2020 Back to the Future is one of the most iconic and revered movies to come out in the 80s. With two successful sequels, it's heralded as one of the best film franchises to stand the test of time (pun intended). For years it has been discussed, argued over, dissected and analyzed about its time travel paradoxes and themes. It's such a...

July 10th, 2020 Namco's Dig Dug was a surprise addition when it tunneled its way into American arcades back in 1982. Gameplay consisted of you controlling Dig Dug as he cleared each garden filled with Pookas and Fygars. You do this by blowing them up with your air pump weapon or by dropping rocks on them. Levels are cleared by killing all of your...

June 23rd, 2020 BuzzFeed continues to be one of the leading news and entertainment sites on the web. They're so well known that it was only a matter of time before a BuzzFeed Loot Crate became available for those of us looking to take a break from life online with the BuzzFeed Joy of Missing Out Crate.

June 16th, 2020 When Deadpool first hit the scene waaaaaay back in New Mutants #98 (1991), no one knew what a crazy popular character he'd become in the world of comic books. Decades later, Deadpool is as popular as ever and he's got the merchandise, movies and memes to prove it. To celebrate the latest Deadpool Loot Crate themed as "Teacher's Pet,"...

May 29th, 2020 Katamari Damacy has been universally loved since its Playstation 2 debut back in 2004. Playing as the Prince, you use your Katamari ball to roll up various items, increasing the size of the ball as you go along. The King of All Cosmos destroyed all of the stars and will use the materials you collect to recreate them. It's dumb and goofy...

May 15th, 2020 Aw, those lovable Gremlins. If you grew up in the 80s you remember how the Mogwai entered your life and never left. Especially the wonderfully adorable Gizmo. 1984's Gremlins is perhaps the strangest Christmas movie ever made. Writer Chris Columbus's tale of a man and his exotic pet quickly became a nightmarish Halloween story when the...
