Dungeons & Dragons Cartoon Classics: Bobby The Barbarian And Uni
“Try picking on somebody my size!” Bobby was the youngest adventurer in the group of kids in the classic cartoon, Dungeons & Dragons. He was also the closest in age to me at the time. Headstrong, physically strong, and afraid of being seen as weak or immature, Bobby would often rush into battle with littleContinue reading “Dungeons & Dragons Cartoon Classics: Bobby The Barbarian And Uni”

Dungeons & Dragons Cartoon Classics: Venger & Dungeon Master
“You shall see who has the greater power.” As I continue revisiting my youth, I’ve collected all of the Dungeons And Dragons Cartoon Classics figures.

Throwback Thursday: Flash Gordon (1980)
“Flash Gordon. Quarterback. New York Jets.” Entirely over the top and insanely fun to boot, 1980’s Flash Gordon is loud, brightly colored, and completely bonkers. It features a stellar cast loaded with actors who are well known in the science fiction and fantasy genres and boasts a soundtrack written and performed by none other thanContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: Flash Gordon (1980)”
Throwback Thursday: Krull (1983)
“The Black Fortress…where does it rise?“ My relationship with the 1983 film Krull is an odd one. I didn’t actually see the film when it was first released in theaters but my parents bought me the Atari 2600 game that tied into the film because I was enthralled with the movie. I also had aContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: Krull (1983)”
Throwback Thursday: Willow (1988)
“You’re not warriors. You’re pigs! You’re all pigs!” While the work of George Lucas and Steven Spielberg commanded most of my attention as a child, a third person who doesn’t get enough recognition from fandom in my opinion also took up a lot of my time. Ron Howard may not be one of the firstContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: Willow (1988)”
Toss A Coin To Your Blogger…
The Witcher Spins A Wonderful Tale Outside of the occasional advertisement for the popular video game based upon it, I was completely unfamiliar with Andrzej Sapkowksi’s book series, The Witcher. I knew that the game looked cool, but I’m not much into modern gaming as I am the old school console games, so my knowledgeContinue reading “Toss A Coin To Your Blogger…”

The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year: A Visit To The Texas Renaissance Festival!
Way Back When I always purchase at least two tickets to the Texas Renaissance Festival every year during their spring sale. Last year, unfortunately, I wasn’t able to visit TRF. This year, my daughter and I decided to make a spontaneous trip to the festival (with two tickets in tow). We arrived about thirty minutesContinue reading “The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year: A Visit To The Texas Renaissance Festival!”
