Young Sheldon - S2 - 98%

 


Paige seems like they are trying to hard to play the wasted potential angle. 

Veronica staying at their house was odd, like it never happened at the start of the next episode. 

Still enjoying the series. Still better than I expected this to be.

Lego A-Frame - 100%

 

Wonderful set! 

Trees are great. Hammers in the front are cool.

So much detail! 

Built all of it together with my wife. 

Good colors. Really like the geode and the furnace. 










Lego Jurassic Breakout - 100%

Great set! My daughter almost made the upright car all by herself. 

Great effect of the broken fence.

Like the bottom platform with the footprints.

Lego Ornithopter - 95%

I really like this set... but... the wings don't wiggle like I feel they should.. 

I took it apart and double checked everything and everything was right.. 

The landing gear is amazing, the wings folding back is great. 

The overall look and size is wonderful.

Minifigures are great. 

Would have given this a 100% if the wings wiggled better.

Young Sheldon - S1 - 98%

 


I was surprised at how good this show is!

Really like the family dynamic and how the dad is a decent person. 

Great connections to Big Bang!

Really really liked the episode with Elon Musk about the rockets landing!!

Sheldon's twin sister is a cool actress.

DD Chieftain - 80%

This is the big magic find build.. It is nice and fast but the single target is sooooo bad. 

Single is so bad that I couldn't even complete the last wildwood ascendancy.. 

I tried swapping to an Annihilating Light staff for single target but that didn't work either. 

Leveled fast and watching everything explode is pretty satisfying... 

Biggest con is that by the time you have the gear to make this build work... I was rich and done playing.

Mageblood - 100%

Kept playing the SRS Guardian because it was such a great build and such a big currency league.

So, I decided now was the time to save up for a Mageblood!! 

I managed to get about 10 divine per hour.. So, it took about 15 hours!




I also decided to trade for a +1 spectres armor. I was very happy with this armor. I traded ~4 Divines for it, it wasn't linked and had 1 empty prefix and suffix. I crafted the damage reduction and slammed it with an exalt and got the +52 dex! Very satisfying. 


The picture is dark on the Mageblood because I failed to mouse over it before clicking print screen...

Lego Insects - 100%


Fantastic set! The Chinese Mantis is the best by far! The pistols for feet is great!

Wife got me this for my 41st birthday!

House S7 - 85%

 



So House and Cuddy finally get together. Not great. 

All about the downfall of House and how he ends up in the slammer. 

House's reason for falling off the wagon seemed weak.

More of the theme of Everybody Lies

Cuddy's kid is soo convenient. Wish I had her babysitter... Always available to stay late. 

Cuddy's mom was meh.

The serial killer episode was pretty good. 

Masters was super annoying.

Woah! Fantastic! Amazing fight scenes! Crazy good graphics.

The big reveal of Geto Suguru being controlled by some brain thing was a bit dumb.

Toji Fushiguro was cool.

Sukuna's big fight was fantastic. 

Mahito's voice was amazing!
