Nakamo

Unlike almost every other Pokemon generation, I have never really played the Johto region games. I started at Firered and Leafgreen and so I missed Gold and Silver, and then when the remakes of those games came out I never got around to picking them up. I can't say I have a true Johto player in that regard, but I have gotten plenty of exposure to the Pokemon from that region from all of the other games, from the Sevii isles in Firered and Leafgreen, to the Pokemon Colosseum games, and just random Johto Pokemon being placed throughout all the games. Plently of the Pokemon from this region stick out to me, and so naturally there are some that I want to have in brick form from Mega Construx's line of Pokemon sets. And so just like my list of top ten Kanto Pokemon I hoped to one day build, here is my list of top ten Johto Pokemon Honorable mention: Shuckle Shuckle is weird, there's no other way to say it. Its strange yellow worm-like appendages are odd to me, and the do...

When is a bad thing ever only a bad thing? There are times when something bad isn't only such, and nothing makes me think about that more than the word "Melancholy", my favorite word, because it means bad but it sounds so good. Whenever something bad happens to somebody they always think that nothing good can possibly come out of it, that they cannot find happiness out of some tragic accident but that is not always the case. The word Melancholy is defined as "A feeling of pensive sadness, typically with no obvious cause," which makes the word mean bad, it's used to described bad flings, but the word itself sounds beautiful to me. Something that means bad is actually beautiful and feels good to say, relaxing and pleasant to hear it roll off your tongue and hum in your ear with it's soft vowels. Metaphorically, for me, it shows me that while something is sad and awful it doesn't mean that it does not have its own merits and rewards that you can get i...

I have seen countless times people claiming that Anakin had no reason to turn to the dark side in the Star Wars prequels and that when it happened it was rushed and forced without any real reason behind it. I am here to put that claim to rest and explain how it is not true. There were several influences throughout Anakin's life that helped the dark side grow within him, from the circumstances to his life, events that transpired with him, and even his own feelings growing up; all of these were factors towards his eventual rejection of the light side of the Jedi. His turn to darkness could not make more sense after seeing and understanding what he went through. The life that Anakin Skywalker grew up with was from the very start oppressive, being the son of a slave and as a byproduct of that was also a slave himself. Poverty was the kind of life he was raised in and along with that he had to endure bullying and insults from his owner, the dreaded Watto. Living in this lifestyle was...

I've made it known in previous entries that I was a big fan of the most recent Star Wars flick, Solo, and so naturally given that I am also into toys and action figures, another thing that has been seen on this blog, I only thought it best to go over the top five Black Series figures that I want from the Solo lineup of characters. Recent leaks have covered many characters not in the initial figure release that I wished to see, such as Enfys Nest, Val, and L337, but there are still plenty of characters that will be missing from my shelf and five of those characters will be featured here. By the way, spoilers for Solo 5. Dryden Vos Effectively the primary villain of the film after the twist with Enfys was revealed, and he did not disappoint me as a villain. Dryden Vos was a very cool character and brought actual intensity and tenseness to the scenes he was in, making me fear for the characters. His few scenes were highlights of the movie and he made a great addition to the ro...
