Lootcrate Feb 2015 "Play!"

Hey guys, it's Lootcrate time again!

This months theme was 'Play' and it was a pretty good haul;

So i really quite liked this one, partly because I'm a nerd and can pretend that I like playign with people, partly because it announced to me that theres a Firefly Online game coming, but mostly because Ready Player One has been on my amazon 'buy this book and read it' list for about a year. Now it can just jump straight into the queue of books I have and want to read, right behind Reki Kawahara's Sword Art Online book 2 (which is behind my current read, Michael Crichton's Lost world) and just in front of George Orwell's 1984.

In general though, its a pretty fun box, I especially like the card game, Superfight, which seems to be the latest in a line of Cards Against Humanity style games where the players have fun with their words and imaginations rather than working from a very specific rule sheet.

Also in this box, you may have noticed I got my Lootcrate members card and I had no idea what it is, but having searched the googles a bunch it seems that it's a card that looters get on their 3rd-5th loot crate. You take this card to conventions and stuff and they will give you free things. I don't really know what, but one person mentioned Pop Bobble heads, other people talked about plushies. It all sounds like a cool group to be in, not I just have to find out about hteir conventions!
Looking forward to next months crate, the theme seems to be spies.

Lootcrate Jan 2015 "Rewind!"

Just recieved a new Lootcrate and I'm going to show you lovely people what we have!

The Subject of this one was 'Rewind'!

Something I didn't realise last month was that the box is even a bit of a toy. Last year you could unfold it to get a mini-cardboard batcave. This month:

I liked this Crate a lot more than the previous one. The tie, the t-shirt the little game cartridge. It was pretty cool. And so was the comic. Better than last month and I'm looking forward to seeing where it goes from here!

LootCrate Dec 2014 "Aniversary!"

Recently i signed up to the Nerd Phenomena known as Lootcrate. It costs a little more for me than our American cousins as I have to pay much higher postage, but it's still pretty cool and I just recieved my first one!

For those who don't know; Lootcrate is a monthly box of nerdy goodness. It can literally be anything nerdy. They have a theme and there will be things in the box that fit with a number of nerd franchises. They also do a Mega loot crate where one person a month gets a super badass awesome crate with a worth up in the thousands. But its unlikely you'll ever see that in the flesh.

So here is my first Crate:

So that's the contents of my first Lootcrate. Not amazing, but it's a nice indicator of what's to come.
I liked the tetris stickers. And I'm wearing hte socks right now. So it can't be all bad!

I'm going to keep buying them at least for six months. We'll see how it improves or deteriorates.

Cheers!
