February 4, 2025GeekMom

It’s a new year, and a new LEGO set. Though to be fair, this one arrived back in December, and I’m just getting to it now. But it’s still one of the more recent LEGO sets, and also quite a contrast to the last set I reviewed, the LEGO X-Mansion. The Botanical Garden packaging. Image […]

GeekDad: Nintendo Switch 2 Arrives Later This Year

January 16, 2025GeekMom

Look, am I excited that Nintendo has finally released an official first look at the Nintendo Switch successor? Of course, I am! But I have to admit that a certain part of me—a petty, vindictive part—was hoping that the big N would double down on their silence in the face of the regular, dubious “leaks” […]

Click That Brick! To Me, My X-Men: The LEGO X-Mansion

December 23, 2024GeekMom

I’m not even going to bury the lede, here: I spent a lot of time humming the theme from X-Men ’97 while I assembled this LEGO set!

December 7, 2024GeekMom

It’s the beginning of the Christmas and holiday season, bringing with it all those magical winter holiday specials. Yet, somehow, this movie, Hot Frosty, debuted at Number One on the Netflix lists last week starring Lacey Chabert and Dusty Milligan: Now, obviously this is a spoof of the Hallmark-y Christmas rom-com, but somehow, I am […]

GeekDad/GeekMom Holiday Gift Guide 2024: Clothing & Accessories

December 6, 2024GeekMom

I spend a positively astounding amount of time shopping for, purchasing, and talking about clothes, shoes, and related fashion accouterments. In another era, I likely would’ve been referred to as a “clothes horse” or even a “fop,” but in today’s parlance I’m what you might think of as a “guy with poor impulse control” who […]

I don’t write very many tabletop reviews these days but Bang Out of Order randomly turned up just before our summer vacation, and I’ve wanted to write about it ever since.

GeekDad: Top 6 Ways to Play Video Games For Free

November 26, 2024GeekMom

Every kid wants to play games, and geeks keep that interest as they get older.
