Top 5 most wanted Dark Souls 1 bosses for Dark Souls the Board Game

Image
Something I haven't written about in a hot minute is the Steamforged Games Dark Souls the Board Game! I owe it to the lack of products released for it, but the recent influx of new expansions have got me hot on the game once more and I've been thinking about what characters and bosses from the videogame I would love to have in the board game going forward. This is on the assumption that the game will continue to have steady support, but at this point there's been no word really on the future of the game; however, I would love for it to continue to cover the Dark Souls universe! For this post, I will be focusing on the first game in the Dark Souls trilogy and the top 5 bosses from this first game I want to have as expansions in the board game!

Top 5 favorite MCU villains from phases 1-3

Image
The MCU had a long road to Endgame and through those couple dozen movies we got lots of different villains that the heroes fought through their journey. Some were great, some were forgettable, some were bad, but some were awesome. Some have been remembered by fans years after they debuted, ranked as some of the best comic book movie villains of all time. Here I'll be looking at the top 5 that stuck out to me most in the MCU's first three phases as my favorite villains of the Infinity Saga.

He's arguably the villain with the most appearances in the series as he appeared in three Avengers movies, and three Thor films. Loki was first introduced as a hero but quickly became the villain of the first Thor film and gave us a layered villain who had to learn that he was the same c...

The Flash S06 EP13 spoiler review

Image
The Flash was back again and brought a really fun and entertaining episode with it that made great use of its titular character while providing some awesome comic book madness. We had the awesome return of Grodd, some new twists in Iris' mirror world storyline, and a very exciting post credit tease involving Nash. So here is the run down of my thoughts on the episode!

Fake Iris snuck her way onto Joe's computer in order to get information about Joseph Carver, with which it is unclear what she's going to do with everything she's putting together. Meanwhile in the mirror world, Eva tells Iris that she built a machine that could potentially help them escape the mirror world; however, Eva demonstrates with her arms that anything that passes through the mirror now will burn. Iris proclaimed that they would find another way, and when she...

Top 5 things I wish the MCU did differently (Phases 1-3)

Image
The MCU has chugged along for 3 phases and given us lots of different stories, characters, and conflicts with the universe that the heroes have had to overcome. It all came to a head in Endgame, with the Infinity saga coming to a close. It was a long road, with lots of different creators coming onto the series with  lots of different movies with stories to tell. While a lot of it was an enjoyable ride with exciting moments from start to finish, there were also some low points that still bug me and wish they had done differently. So with the MCU having finished its first saga, here are the top 5 things that I wish they had done differently.

Batwoman S01 EP13 spoiler review

Image
This episode of Batwoman was a mixed bag for me because there were plenty of elements that I enjoyed but then quite a few that I am very mixed about. So without much waiting, here is my review for the newest Batwoman episode titled, "Drink Me." (Image Source) Related posts: Batwoman S01 EP12 spoiler review Batwoman S01 EP11 spoiler review This episode did do quite a lot in terms of pushing the relationships of the story forward, I will give it that, as several new pieces shifted that will definitely change up the status quo. The main plotline of the episode followed Kate as she worked to take down a new villain in Gotham called, Nocturna. I was very excited to see this character introduced as I found her a lot of fun in the comics, and the idea of vampires being fully added to the Arrowverse after being teased in The Flash was something I was also anticipating. However, by the end of the episode it was revealed that Nocturna wasn't a real vampire and had a di...

Ranking the Dark Souls the Board Game kickstarter exclusive expansions

Image
This is a post that I'm definitely behind on getting out there, but just today I managed to play through the kickstarter exclusive expansions with my brother for the Dark Souls board game by Steamforged games. I haven't talked about the game in a while, but I really love it and I have a blast playing it. I know a lot of people turned away from the game because of how long it has taken the expansions to come out, but I know they're trickling out eventually and aren't cancelled or anything so I just focus on other stuff in the mean time. I was very excited to get my hands on the kickstarter exclusive expansions though when Steamforged was selling them on their online store during an event, since I found the game after it had been funded and there I couldn't get in on the kickstarter backer exclusive items. I managed to get them though, and after playing through them I can say that this is my ranking of the 3 different kickstarter exclusive expansion sets for Dark So...

Top 5 most wanted Wizkids Transformers Unpainted miniatures

Image
This list is going to be about something a little different but something I find a lot of fun with a new product coming out. These unpainted mini models of G1 Transformers characters have started coming out by WizKids, and immediately I thought about the potential for these to be used in table top games like Dungeons and Dragons, and also just as fun things to have around and to paint. The first wave consists of Optimus, Megatron, Bumblebee, and Starscream of course (And by their unpainted virtues, Starscream can technically also be every other seeker aside from the coneheads!), and the second wave is slated to include Ironhide, Soundwave, Arcee, and a two pack of Laserbeak and Rumble (who, unpainted, can also be turned into Buzzsaw and Frenzy). I'm interested in this tangent part of Transformers merchandise, and here are the top 5 characters I hope to see in series 3 and beyond!

Remaining Lando Calrissians for Hasbro's Star Wars the Black Series line

Image
Lando is definitely one of the best dressed characters in the Star Wars franchise and at this point, not a lot of his outfits have been covered in the Black Series line! We've gotten his Bespin garbs, his Skiff Guard uniform, and his main outfit from the movie Solo, but aside from that our Lando representation is very low. So in this list I will be taking a look at what versions of Lando we are still missing from our collections, starting with one outfit I'm not sure we'll ever see!

Remaining Leia Organas for Star Wars The Black Series

Image
Leia is one of the best characters in all of the Star Wars franchise, and one of the most important as she carried the story in a lot of the scenes that she was in. Her actor tragically passed away in the last few years, but the character lived on for one last awesome appearance in the finale Star Wars movie in the Skywalker saga, solidifying her legacy as a strong character who helped bring balance to the Force. She is also one of the characters with the most outfits, it seems, and while she has had quite a few figures in the Black Series line, she still has many outfits yet to be realized in the Black Series line by Hasbro. So with hopes that Hasbro will soon give us many of these outfits, here are the remaining Leia figures for the Black Series 6 inch line!

Top 5 most wanted The Mandalorian Black Series figures vol 3

Image
The Mandalorian was a show I thoroughly enjoyed all 8 episodes of and cannot wait for season 2 to air later this year! I loved all of the new characters and designs introduced into the Star Wars universe thanks to this show, along with some existing designs and concepts that got to see further fruition in the show. The Black Series line of 6 inch figures by Hasbro has so far done a fair amount of characters from the show, but the conclusion of season 1 has got me wondering which characters I'd love to have figures of next, and here are the top 5 that I could think of.
