THE NINTENDO GAME BOY: REMINISCING ON WHAT I DIDN'T HAVE

THE GAME BOY TURNS 25 AND I ARRIVED LATE TO THE PARTY


The Nintendo Game Boy turned 25 recently, and you've probably read a post or two about that fact by now. You might have seen tweets or Facebook posts showing off pictures of a Game Boy system along with an anecdote of a fond memory. Maybe even some posts about the top 17 games for the system, or more on the system’s history. This post will be just a little bit different, and here's why: I didn't own an original Game Boy until just a few years ago.  

Let me set the stage for you. The year is 1989, and a nine year old Fuzzless wonder is deep into Nintendo...

THAT'S A LOT OF LECHES. EP60 IS LIVE! POLLY WANT A KAIJU?

GET OUT THE TRES LECHES - it's another PO66 Anniversary Special! Aiming to misbehave, the crew boldly go where no GERMAN BIRD has gone before. Can Godzilla's mission to restore family values change the podcast forever? Or will a NEW kaiju rise to the challenge?

TANGENT66 - CRASIS FLASHBACK A2A

In celebration of our site's birthday, I offer this little gem I uncovered tonight. I mentioned this way back on the podcast at some point. I can't remember when. I'm getting old.

 
FLASHBACK: I was art directing a photo shoot for a wholesome family snack company when I realized who the actor we had cast as "Grandpa" really was.

Yes, folks, I wasn't kidding.

ASS-TO-ASS. 



TOYING AROUND WITH CRASIS - IN PONDVISION™

NECA GODZILLA (2014) 12" HEAD TO TAIL FIGURE

DUNNNNNNNNN. DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN...
Every once in a blue moon, I get this strong urge to grab my smart phone and snap pics of my toys out in the wild. No fancy camera, no crazy setup - just nature and plastic. I generally throw these sorts of things on twitter, where they are quickly lost in the current of cat pics, lunch snaps, dick jokes, retweets of obscure Japanese stuff and the latest robot drama.

As PREORDER66.COM (the website celebrating one year of life today, BTW!) is an extension of the cast and our love of pop-culture, toys, etc., I figured it was time to add a new segment to the site - TOYING AROUND. This week, I took some snaps of a NECA figure.

I know, not even remotely "high-end." Indulge me, folks.
