Cold Animatronics, Warm Feet
I can't lie; I don't really know a whole lot about the character on my socks today. Youngest son tells me it's Chica, a character from Five Nights at Freddy's. It also has pizza slices, I guess? Apparently, tho, Freddy's one of those kid-friendly pizza place with creepy animatronic characters, except at this one they're … Continue reading Cold Animatronics, Warm Feet
Need That Mega Juice
As is becoming common on Friday mornings (at least mid-school year), I woke this morning feeling like I'd trucked through the last mile of a marathon...
Hard Wired, Just Like The Originals
And so ends Old School Video Game Week, the way the three dozen pigeon gods of the ancients intended, with NES controllers. Now it's maybe time for a cartoon or two.
The Perfectly Amazing Tetris Mystery Of 2018
My life has become a strange and wonderful thing. I was lamenting to the Puddinette on earlier this week that what I really needed for Old School Video Game Week was a pair of Tetris socks, but I was just going to make due with what we had. After all, I probably have in the … Continue reading The Perfectly Amazing Tetris Mystery Of 2018
Super Stars Socks
Today I got to sport Starmen on my feet, which was fortuitous as it was the first day you could get one of the newly released NES Classics. (Believe it or not, I actually didn't know about that Monday when I coincidentally declared this Old School Video Game week.) So, as I was wearing Starmen, … Continue reading Super Stars Socks
Hey, Listen!
Yes, these are Zelda socks. ZELDA. Like, look at that Tri-Force! I mean, this might be the best Thursday ever.
Sweet 8-Bit Nostalgia
I heart these socks. Odds are fairly good that these will end up on the short list of pairs I end up keeping at the end of the year. They remind me of a simpler time in my life, when the only thing I wanted to hide from was Middle School. As it turns out, … Continue reading Sweet 8-Bit Nostalgia
MEGA!
I was pretty giddy when the Puddinette acquired a pair of old-school Mega Man socks for me, and doubly so when I realized I could fit them neatly into Old School Video Game week. Thankfully, but not surprisingly, I'm totally not alone in recognizing which socks are just solid, and which ones are fundamentally kick … Continue reading MEGA!
It’s-A Me, Mario Socks!
That's right, kids, it's Video Game Week. And if that wasn't exciting enough, I'm pretty sure we're potentially looking at Old School Video Game Week. I haven't worked out the whole nine yards quite yet, but that's looking like a definite possibility. Which is to say, I'm pretty giddy about the upcoming week in socks. … Continue reading It’s-A Me, Mario Socks!
