TMNT Leonardo NECA 7 Inch Classic Cartoon Action Figure Review

You'd think with all the pizza they eat the turtles would be horrible ninjas.
Today I have a review of Leonardo from the Donatello Leonardo two-pack from NECA's "7 Inch" Classic Cartoon TMNT action figure line. I was a big fan of Donatello from this pack so the question is... how is Leo?

Strat-O-Matic 2012 New York Yankees Replay Game 60



Hello and welcome to Game 60 of my 2012 Strat-O-Matic New York Yankees season replay. Today the Yankees play game two against their division rivals the Tampa Bay Rays.

If you missed the previous game you can click here for Game 59. For today's game, the Yankees have Hiroki Kuroda (5-4) starting. In 10 starts this season, Kuroda has pitched 82 innings, given up 84 hits, 22 walks, struck out 57 for an ERA of 3.73. The Rays have James Shields (5-4) on the mound today. In 13 starts, Shields has pitched 76 innings and has allowed 75 hits, walked 17, and struck out 73 for an ERA of 3.54. Today's game looks to be a good one between two evenly matched pitchers between teams fighting for first place.

Detective Comics 27 Review



Without a doubt Action Comics 1 is the most important, and expensive, comic book to ever come out. Not only did it invent the Superhero but it also launched The Golden Age of Comics and is also the comic book debut of Superman, Clark Kent, and Lois Lane. After Action Comics 1, the second most important, and again second most expensive comics book, is Detective Comics 27. Issue 27, for those who don't know, is the comic book where The Batman debuts. Like I mentioned in my Review Of Action Comics 1, The "Bat-man" in this story is very different from the hero we know now.

Batman, or The "Bat-man", was created in 1939 by Bob Kane and Bill Finger. These creators have been dead for many years now and the contract signed by Kane to bring Batman into Detective Comics has painted a poor picture of Bob Kane over the preceding years. I don't want to get into too much of it here but if you're interested in the history of the creation of Batman you should watch the documentary Batman and Bill which can currently be seen on Hulu. Now I do not have the millions to afford my own copy of Detective Comics 27 so I'll be reading it on the DC Universe app.

TMNT Donatello NECA 7 Inch Classic Cartoon Action Figure Review



Well, we've made it through the 2019 holiday season and I have to say that I did pretty good for Christmas. For being an adult male with a teenage child I was able to get mostly all toys, video games, or books about toys and video games. One nice thing this year is that my daughter is old enough to get me something that she'd know I'd like and this is what she picked out for me. The question is.... how did she do?

Games Beaten in 2019




Well, 2019 turned into a disappointment for me personally, professionally, financially, medically, pretty much all of the ways. Everything I had planned for the year never happened, I played no tabletop games except Strat-O-Matic, and I didn't play nearly as many video games as I wanted. I did purchase some new retro games including games for the Sega CD and NES but never the less I never played any of them. I bought Red Dead Redemption 2 when it came out at the end of 2018 and I still haven't played it. I have hundreds of games that I haven't played for one reason or another and like I've said before I'm hoping to change that for 2020.
