Welcome to the project I’ve been looking forward to all year! Back in November ’23 I got the ball rolling on cobbling together the most screen-accurate pieces to assemble the ultimate 1978 Michael Myers life-size display just in time for Halloween! From the mysterious tex green coveralls, to the Vietnam jungle boots, the knife, the mask and even Nick Castle’s eyes…. this is truly a ’78 Michael Myers display come-to-life!

 

Happy Spooky Season!!! 🎃

 

My F*CK USPS Story

Reading Time: < 1 minute This is the cut clip from the “Building The Ultimate 1978 Michael Myers Life-Size Display” video where I tell the story of how USPS nearly lost my $858 NAG/JC 75K Castle H1 mask. Was definitely not a happy weekend after this thing got overnighted after being finished by James Carter.

Grail piece! After 13 years I finally got my grubby hands on this gem from 2011! Best Jason statue, hands down! Full unboxing and assembly. Also, you’ll notice there’s a bit of a transition taking place. ‘Thought it was time to move these product reviews away from the dining room and into a space that’s a bit more aesthetically pleasing. Not that the horror posters aren’t cool. But, this new set-up offers a fresh vibe with heavier nostalgia. ‘Hope you dig!

 

A terrible visage to behold, the Jason Voorhees – Friday the 13th Part III Premium Format Figure brings to life the legendary horror icon of the Friday the 13th film series. Complete with a hand-tailored fabric costume, each piece is hand-painted and finished, each with its own unique quality and detail that is the trademark of a handcrafted Sideshow Collectibles Premium Format Figure. The Jason Voorhees – Friday the 13th Part III Premium Format Figure is the perfect addition to any horror collection. An intimidating killing machine, Jason Voorhees has slashed his way through eleven Friday the 13th films, rising again and again from his watery grave to inflict brutal revenge on any hapless teens, camp counselors, or poor souls who dare trespass the cursed and haunted shores of Camp Crystal Lake.

 

In Friday the 13th Part III, Jason Voorhees returns after the subjects of his most recent killing spree tried to fight back, leaving Jason with a nasty wound to the shoulder. Wielding some seriously brutal weapons, Jason takes a hockey mask from one of his victims – the accessory that would hide his mangled face and become his eerie trademark.

Countdown to Autumn Equinox 2024

Reading Time: < 1 minute One of the most frequent questions I get asked in my life is “why do you hate summer?” (Laughing) In my world, that’s like asking me why I hate ticks, traffic, houseflies, allergies, sinus congestion, insomnia, fireworks, humidity, yard work (you see where this is going).

AUTUMN EQUINOX 2024
Sep 22, 2024 8:43 AM (EST)


Well whaddya know, it’s summer again….

One of the most frequent questions I get asked in my life is “why do you hate summer?” (Laughing) In my world, that’s like asking me why I hate ticks, traffic, houseflies, allergies, sinus congestion, insomnia, fireworks, humidity, yard work (you see where this is going). Summer brings all of it in spades, relentlessly, and refuses to let up as it unabashedly overstays its welcome like an annoying relative until this little amazing event called the autumnal equinox.

Yes, it’s that time again. The annual countdown to the demise of this dreary, dismal stretch of miserable heat and humidity the Ohio Valley seems to love so much. Once again, I’ll be cozily tucked away in my personal igloo, sheltered from the sun’s cancerous rays and all the nuclear fallout they bring with them. ‘Got everything I need right here: A/C, food, home gym, A/C, cold water, A/C, A/C…

Lookin’ forward to Fall as always. Can’t wait to get back out on the trail in cool weather, feeling leaves crunch beneath my feet and seeing pretty Halloween décor everywhere. They say the best things in life come after a degree of suffering is had…. Or maybe they don’t. Maybe I just said it because it sounds nice. Either way, only 11 more weeks of the summer hell at publish time. We’ll get there.

MGS3 Beating The Pain in 48 Seconds on E-Extreme [Non-Lethal] [No Damage] [Metal Gear Solid 3]

Reading Time: < 1 minute 48-second obliteration! Nail him with the AK-47 immediately at the start of the fight to stop him from throwing his hornet fart gas at you, just enough until he stumbles. Don’t knock him completely off his feet, as this will waste time and mess up the attack pattern. Quickly switch to the Mk22 and go right for his head.

Reading Time: < 1 minute

 

NGL… This one was a PAIN. There’s a reason I skipped over him for a while and focused on some of the other bosses. Took me an entire evening to work out the strict timing and get the feel for the pinpoint aiming on The Pain’s head with his strange, sometimes-cooperative, sometimes-not hitbox.

Nail him with the AK-47 immediately at the start of the fight to stop him from throwing his hornet fart gas at you, just enough until he stumbles. Don’t knock him completely off his feet, as this will waste time and mess up the attack pattern. Quickly switch to the Mk22 and go right for his head. When he walls up in hornet armor, select a grenade of any kind (other than stunners) and slightly long-press to overhand throw it at him to knock the armor off, then immediately switch back to the Mk22 and resume attacking his head. The goal is to drain two stamina bars and get to the second part of the fight before he “makes you feel the real pain” and covers you in hornets. When you reach the second round, rinse and repeat the pattern until you put him away. You must be as quick and efficient as possible and expect to need several (putting it lightly) tries to pull it off in under 1 minute. This one’s not for the faint of heart.

Timer begins the moment I gain control of Snake.

Counting down till MGS Delta! 💥🐍
