NGP Loot Crate Review - Fear - October 2014

NGP Loot Crate Review - Fear - October 2014

Halloween is right around the corner and as the end of the month approaches, it's time for this month’s Loot Crate review! The month of October brings FEAR as our crate theme, featuring items from Dead Rising 3, The Walking Dead and more!

Starting at a base price of $13.37/month, plus shipping and handling, a new Loot Crate arrives at my door on or around the 20th of each month, valued at over $40, with discounts available for pre-paid 3 and 6 month subscriptions.

This month’s FEAR crate was a bit lacking in my opinion given the strong showings from months past. However, aside from The Walking Dead, horror isn’t really my thing but I digress.

To see crate reviews from month’s past, be sure to check out my breakdown of the August HEROES and September GALACTIC crates!

01| Death By Kitten T-Shirt - Kittens in the form of a skull. On a T-shirt. It’s a Loot Crate Exclusive design, but I’m not a fan. No thanks.

02| Toxic Candy Waste - Growing up, I’ve always loved Warheads as a kid, but these Toxic Waste candies blow those out of the water in terms of taste and sour level. Candy shouldn’t get me more excited than an exclusive T-shirt - but it does.

03| Sledgesaw Hammer Pen - Easily the best item in the crate, Capcom comes through as the savior of the crate this month with this exclusive Shedesaw Pen. Exquisitely designed and crafted, this is a BIG win in my book.

04| How To Survive A Sharknado (and Other Unnatural Disasters) - What do you do if a tornado touches down in your city filled with vicious sharks? How would you handle a Mega Python or a Manticore? This book has you covered.

05| “Oh, Brother” Art Print - A fun little print inspired by the events of The Walking Dead TV series on AMC.

06| The Walking Dead (Issue 132) - An exclusive Loot Crate Variant of The Walking Dead Issue 132 with art by Charlie Adlard (Batman, Judge Dredd)

07| Slashes & Bites Tattoos - The perfect addition to this years Halloween costume.

08| Smite Gift Card - I’m honestly not familiar with Smite, but this month’s crate has a code to unlock a Jack the Reaper skin.  

Check back next month for the breakdown of the November’s TBD crate featuring what will (hopefully) be a collection of exclusive and never-before-seen geek swag we can all be thankful for.

Until next time True Believers,

Shark Week, Ooo ha ha!

I have never quite understood the hype over Shark Week, why do sharks need a week? Someone must have done something right over at The Discovery Channel though because Shark Week is longest running cable television event in history. Shark Week is in its 26th year, debuting on July 17,1988 and is now broadcasted in over 72 countries.

In honor of Shark Week I am going to provide you not only a list of some of the more popular movies with sharks but also a list of some interesting shark movies. 

Obviously the Jaws series is at the top of the popularity list among the latest cult classics Sharknado (available on Netflix Streaming) and Sharknado 2. There is also Deep Blue Sea and Open Water on the popular side. And for the more ridiculous titles out there: Mega Shark v. Mecha Shark (available on Netflix streaming), Jersey Shore Shark Attack, and wait for it … Sharktopus. Let's not forget about the family friendly shark movies too: Shark Tale, Soul Surfer, and Finding Nemo ("fish are friends not food"). There are many more shark features out there, a small list can be found here: http://www.omgsharks.com/shark-movies/index.htm

I won’t be watching any of the documentaries that The Discovery Channel has to offer this week, but I may just unplug my brain and watch  Sharknado to see what it’s all about.

Oh and flashback, what ever happened to that awesome 90s cartoon, Street Sharks?

Jawesome!

Here’s the trailer for Sharknado:
