Odds ‘n Ends > The Hunt for the Blood Orchid
ODD: I spent twenty minutes making a list of movie sequel subtitles before settling on this one. The things I do for you people! END: October is Halloween Month at PGPoA, and I am so not ready. The site’s design is prepped, thanks to the hard work of Webmaster OB1 (sounds like one of those [...]
Lego Batman
I’ve been running a bit short on toy-related topics recently (the oft-mentioned backlog of posts that I have require a significant amount of writing and photo-taking, and so I’ve been a bit lazy about getting to them), so instead, today you get a review of a toy-related videogame.
