Games- TF:ROTF and Batman, enjoying Samba De Amigo for Wii(curse you hard mode!)

Comics- Incredible Hercules(esp. the Thorcules arc), Kick Ass, The Strange Tales 3 issue series by Marvel had a lot of fun little stories. Really enjoying Avengers:The Initiative, Mighty Avengers, and Nova.

Tv- has pretty much died for me as a format with the digital transition due to reception, still watch some, but I can’t count on the signal. That being said, most often online, I’ve enjoyed Supernatural, Titan Maximum, Venture Brothers, and Kamen Rider Dragon Knight(in spite of the use of three or four clip shows)
TSCC’s and TF:A cancellations stink.

Movies-Best one I saw in theaters was Zombieland, but I still enjoyed Terminator Salvation, Star Trek TF: ROTF, and GI Joe in spite of any faults they may have had.(reading the backs of some Autobot figures today, I thought, these are “good” guys?)

Toys- Figma Drossel, Skeletor is awesome(haven’t gotten around to opening most/ receiving the last 4 months), I’ve hoped for a blender, but never expected a Toaster TF but he is quite nifty as are most of the Basics from ROTF. I’ve enjoyed the stuff by Onell designs that I’ve picked up this year and regret some of the things I missed out on.
