Game Mechanix

Game Mechanix in Monroe and West Monroe is not only my favorite place to shop for retro games, systems and accessories, it is also a great place for repairs for all sorts of electronics. Steve, over at the West Monroe shop, recently replaced the cracked screen on my iPad Mini. Thanks!

Inside Out Movie Review


Pixar’s glorious return!

Back in 2014, Pixar had an unusual 1 year break releasing movies. Low and behold, we’re getting two Pixar movies this year - a first for Pixar! Their first production made it worth the wait…

Plot: Like with Big Hero 6, I’m not spoiling the plot. I will say this; it gets surprisingly deep and can feel sluggish at times IMO.

Characters: The characters are very well written and executed. They all fit their respective role perfectly.

Humor: Inside Out is, like other Pixar movies - very funny. There are jokes that adults and kids will laugh at.

Presentation: Technically, the movie looks fantastic. The voice acting is very well done and full of emotions. *Bud dum tsssh

Verdict: I’m glad Pixar has returned on a high note because Inside Out is amazing. It is a must see for Pixar and/or Disney fans.

Final Score: 9.5/10

The History Channel's show American Pickers has a new commercial. It is a tribute to the graphics and sounds of early video gaming - 8 bit style!

Check out this side by side comparison. Pretty cool, eh? Everything is better digitized!
