The other week we were offered the chance to host a video game that was stocked with Skylanders SWAP Force. Skylanders SWAP Force takes some of the characters from the original game with and puts them in a new world with a new element-swapability. Take the top half from one, switch it out with the bottom from another and you’ve got the powers of two Skylanders in one.

We received a NYNE NB-200 Bluetooth Speaker for review purposes. It’s a Bluetooth speaker and the company really wants you to know that it can be mounted to your bicycle handlebars. A Bluetooth speaker wasn’t something that was on the top of Tech Gadgets I Need list. However, after using it for a while I’ve discovered that, the sound from my tablet’s speakers are horrible and that the NYNE is a fabulous tool to make and receive phone calls on.

The other day we read over 4 of the 11 full size comics that were available for Halloween ComicFest. These are free comics that you can pick up at your local comic book store.

For our oldest son’s Halloween party at school we were responsible for the drinks, cookies and music. I asked my wife if she had Thriller on the MP3 player. Thriller is a lot of parent’s default Halloween music, more for the memories of the video than the music itself. It was then when I was about to dust off my moonwalk shoes that I found about a family friendly free Halloween music for kids playlist that Disney put out.
This past weekend was Halloween ComicFest at your local comic book store. They had 11 comics that were full sized and 11 that were mini sized-all of them free. The nice folks at Diamond Comics were nice enough to send me some of them. Here’s a look at 4 of the full sized comics to see if they’re worth grabbing up.
