POE Detonate Necro - 95%

 


One of the most tanky builds I have ever had!

Not the best single target.

Fantastic clear speed. 

My biggest complaint about this build is that it seems near impossible to scale the damage. 
Almost all the damage comes from the percentage of life damage of detonate dead: 
Explosion deals base Fire Damage equal to 6% of the corpse's Maximum Life

And there are only a couple of ways to increase corpse life, and that is all through the passive tree. There is not a single item that increased corpse life so almost every skillpoint and item is defense. 







POE Cyclone Chief - 95%


Fantastic starting build!

Items scale so well as currency drops. i.e.
Does well with crap gear, amazing with good gear, and crazy with crazy gear. 

Great single target DPS, not the fastest clear but good enough. 

So easy to keep the flasks up all the time while spinning. 

Great league so far. 







 

The 100 S7 - 95%

 


What a great ending to a great show!

This show has just the right amount of campy jokes, action, and plot. 

There were lots of great lines, especially liked Murphy's
"Lasers and invisible people I can but what is going on with Bellamy?"

I was a bit thrown that they went back to earth.. I thought it had blown up.. 

Bellamy converting was a bit goofy 

I grow tired of Clarke's role being so self absorbed but the ending made it all great.
So great how Madi decided not to come back. 

Fun how they killed off so many main characters right at the end.

Such a funny ending. 

I feel like most people wouldn't like this show, my wife didn't really care for it even though she stuck with it and watched every episode but I really enjoyed it. 


Wonder Woman 1984 - 15%




Whew, awful movie. 

If I could make a wish it would be that I hadn't bothered to watch this movie. 

I watched it on the plane on my phone. If I had brought something else I would have given up... 

Felt like torture watching this.

Robot Hedgehog - 90%

Fun build!

  • I didn't have the right tools because I haven't put together much plastic cut out models
  • Lots of cool gears
  • Instructions were mostly clear and I liked the comics
  • It often doesn't respond to my claps 
  • The flip only works half the time because it fails to catch the gear
  • Still a great build and great price. 
  • My wife got it for me for Christmas
  • Felt like the suggested age was a bit low








Sometimes it gets a bit stuck like this

Lego Bonsai - 99%

 Another fantastic set!

Wish it was much more involved like the ideas set

Felt like it was a sad coincidence that the idea set was in review when this was released

Cool that they used pink frogs as the blossoms instead of making a whole new piece






Lego Vintage Car - 85%

 

Fantastic promo set! 

The biggest disappointment is that the side panels look like surf boards and keep falling off.  

Lego Bookshop - 100%

Fantastic set! 

  • So many amazing details! 
  • Great colors and front.
  • Love the chameleon!, The Clock, The book shelves! So Much!
  • Cool mouse trap in the basement 
  • Built this set together with my wife
  • The tree is a little off with the way the leaves hang from it but not a big deal
  • This set is so amazing that I am now hooked on the modular town series! 

 











Mob Psycho 100 S2 - 88%

 


Good, but not as good as S1. 
  • Great first episode catching back up with the series
  • Felt a bit disjointed
  • Great fight sequences but felt a bit overpowered 
  • Struggle didn't feel real
  • Main villain didn't seem like much of a villain 
Overall it was pretty good

Mandalorian S2 - 90%


Great Star Wars action!

  • Didn't care for Episode 7 with the conversation about its OK to compromise standards sometimes
  • Boba Fett was cool
  • The female Mandalorians were a bit goofy 
  • Good ending to the final episode

Dragon Ball Super 83-131 - 92%


  •  They did what Dragon Ball is best at... Epic Martial Arts Tournament
  • Always that the bad guy fights for strength or whatever twisted "Justice" and gave up everything to get it.. and the good guys keep enduring for their "friends"
  • More fun DBZ time dilation, every 2 minutes in the tournament is an episode
  • Why no Buu? 
  • Frieza was an interesting wild card
  • Hit was the best
  • Lots of good music
If you are a DBZ fan this will not disappoint!
