Digimon Fusion Season 1, Volume 1 is on DVD

Anime fans in the United States have had to wait to watch Digimon Fusion on DVD. The series airs in English on NickToons and the second season is on the air now. Granted Digimon Fusion has been available on video, but it’s been the Japanese export and unless your Japanese was very good you weren’t able to understand most of it. Digimon Season 1, Volume 1 is now available on a 3 disc collection with 330 minutes of digital creatures and teen heroes.

New all age comic books for Wednesday, September 23, 2015 #NCBD

Happy new comic book day! Brace yourself for a brand new Snoopy graphic novel-Where Beagles Dare is a full length story, akin to the classic ones that they turned into half hour television specials. The conclusion of Princeless Be Yourself, Over the Garden Wall #2 is great fantasy, Sonic Universe #80 and more come out this week.

A new mini-series in line with Wild’s End comes out too. Wild’s End Enemy Within #1 (of 4) is a unique melding of WWII and wild farm critters like toads, mice and such. The art that we’ve seen is really amazing and we’ll be giving this book a review later this week.

Here are the basics about Homegating with HH Gregg

Can you smell what it is that you’re cooking? To paraphrase The Rock, that is one of the most important reasons why homegating was preferred over physically going to the game. Homegating is staying at home and watching the game. HH Gregg, a large retailer of electronics, appliances and furniture conducted a study on tailgating vs. homegating. 70% of people said that they’d rather homegate, instead of physically going to the game. No place can take over for the sheer experience of a stadium; however, your big screen television, home grilled food, creature comforts and the money that you saved on tickets make a compelling argument to get on the homegating bandwagon to say at home in your fan cave.

Transformers Robots In Disguise Super Bumblebee is BIG toy play

We have a young Transformers Robots In Disguise fan in our house. The television show is great for kids, surprisingly good for adults and a great entry point into characters that they love to play with. We have a couple Bumblebee toys. However we have nothing close to the scale of the new Transformers Robots In Disguise Super Bumblebee.

Simpatico by Renee & Friends needs more kindie and less lullaby

Renee & Friends’ Simpatico is a compilation between singer Renee Stahl and lots of other folks. They include Colin Hay, Glen Phillips from Toad the Wet Sprocket, Maya Rudolph, Molly Shannon and many others. This release is intended to be a bridge between the time when kids are exclusively listening to lullabies and then start listening to songs with more structure. It does have a lush, relaxed sound throughout the release. However, it’s too relaxed and is more at home in a coffee house where naps are encouraged than as a kindie release.

Robot boxing in our #ManCave, our wish list item at Best Buy

We’ve been compensated in the form of a Best Buy Gift Card and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free. Have you seen Real Steel? It a Hugh Jackman film from 2011 about robot boxing. It’s a fabulous film that my wife even liked, it’s not that she’s a movie snob, she just went in with low expectations-partially due to my constant raving about it. In my ideal man cave I would have a robot boxing ring like this vision of robotic wresting on the Best Buy site.

Celebrate World Play-Doh Day on September 16

Wednesday, September 16 is World Play-Doh Day! What exactly did parents do before Play-Doh was invented in 1956? And they only had four colors to entertain the kids with! Now there are over 50 colors, more than two billion Play-Doh cans have been sold and the average time that each separate color is blended into one green/gray color is :60. OK, that last factoid is based exclusively on our house, the amount of time could be shorter or longer in your house.

What’s cooking with the Little Tikes Sizzle and Serve Grill

Hey, we received product for review purposes. All thoughts are our own. I like to grill. For us it’s a year round activity made more fun in the winter months because it’s cold and the grill keeps us warm. We also don’t use lighter fluid. We have the kids go out and collect small twigs, and dead leaves, surround the area with charcoal and start the fire. That was born from an emergency many years ago, but we’ve kept it up and now use it as a way for the kids to earn money. Because of our bare bones grilling style the kids spend time with me when I grill and they got to cook with the Little Tikes Sizzle and Serve Grill.
