December 2018 Loot Crate – Scavenge

Bumblebee Loot Crate
Photo-A-Day 2.0 – #00007

Each month Loot Crate sends me the latest crate to unbox and review. i enjoyed this crate because it was themed after the Bumblebee movie. I loved that movie and was happy to get some great pins for the movie.

I actually made two videos for this Loot Crate Unboxing. The first one was a mess. I recorded it using my new Snoppa Atom 3-Axis gimbal. I thought this would be an awesome device but so far I have not been that impressed. You can see in the video below that I added some of the footage from my first attempt. When I first made my video I went to try and process it and the video was all sorts of cray choppy. I wanted to show that in the final video but it was no longer choppy but the sound was terrible. I’ve got to work more with this gimbal to make sure that it works as it should.

As far as the Loot Crate for this month I enjoyed what was inside. there was an Escape from New York Print. There was also supposed to be an eye-patch but it wasn’t ready in time. It will be send later. The t-shirt was awesome. It was for Dungeons & Dragons. There is also a statue from Fallout and also a pin from the Netflix show Lost in Space. Then the box itself was one that you could use to make a Bumblebee figure. I even made that.

Review: Spyro Reignited Trilogy

SpryoBanner

I recently received a download code for The Spryo Reignited Trilogy for the XBox One. I did not play any of the Spyro games when they first came out and I really missed out on some fun games. Playing Spryo has been a great time! My first introduction to Spryro was playing Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure. He became my favorite character in the game and I have enjoyed playing as him in Skylanders. I have not played Skylanders in a while and after playing The Spyro Reignited Trilogy I want to pull out all the toys and play again. But that won’t happen until I play through the whole Spyro Reignited Trilogy.

This is a beautiful game. It has been fully remastered and it looks incredible! Gameplay is fast and simple. Spyro runs around, jumps, shoots fire and glides. I enjoy that as I play through certain areas I am told when I have completed the level 100%. I am also really enjoying the soundtrack for the game and learned that the original composer of the games’ soundtrack, Stewart Copeland is back to also re-imagine the soundtrack. It is one of the more fun games I have played in a while. This has been fun for the kids as well. Andrew has asked many times to play the game and he has picked it up quickly. It makes me so proud!

You can read more about the game’s launch below and also see the game launch trailer. Continue reading Review: Spyro Reignited Trilogy
