  • Plucky Loot

    Plucky Loot

    Ah, impulsivity is such a monster. Zombie and I went to our favourite pawn shop but didn’t see anything compelling. So we swung around the corner to EBGames and… well…

    The Plucky Squire has been on my radar since it came out last fall. The art style and concept really caught my attention. So when I saw the new copy marked down from $45 to $35 with only one copy left on the shelf, I grabbed it.

    Sept 7th – thought I’d drop some screenshots to give you an idea of how endearing this title is.

    Thanks for reading! (wrote this a while ago and left in drafts…. oh the shame)

  • Kunai

    Kunai

    Today’s run was impulsive. I found a Switch game published by Limited Run. A cleaned-up version of an 360/PS3-era game, BloodRayne Betrayal.

    Then, as we’re doing our final scan around the shop, Zombie spots Kunai knives from Naruto. So now we have one to go with our cosplay weapons.

    Short and sweet today. As always, thanks for reading.

  • Amazon Impulse

    Amazon Impulse

    Yet another Loot Run round up. This one is brought to you by Amazon impulse purchasing. You know, when you check Amazon for deal and then manage to add multiple items to the cart? All in the name of free shipping, right?

    Recently picked up a 3rd-party Lego rose bouquet and accidentally added a couple of Switch games. All under the guise of a birthday gift for Zombie Fish. A birthday that’s 3 months away. 3. Months. Yeah, so I gave them to her yesterday. What?

    Ni No Kuni I & II

    She’s a big fan of Studio Ghibli animation and they partnered with Level 5 to produce the first title. This was originally released on the PS3 and I’ve started it but never dove deeper. The cut scene animation is as good as any of the studios best such as Princess Mononoke. And a real tear-jerker too, you’ve been warned. The sequel is not as highly rated (although still good) and is a separate story much like Final Fantasy’s releases.

    I’ve also done a rare thing and pre-ordered a game. It’s not often I’ll do this but I’ve been waiting for a physical release of this title. Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered has been released digitally and finally getting a physical release in July. At $45 CDN I easily convinced myself I deserve it.

    Finally, Zombie’s love of Kinder Surprise eggs has got me hooked on these tiny Marvel characters.

    That pretty much wraps up the last couple of weeks Loot. As always, thanks for reading.
