Enter the KREO Transformers

Few months ago I got a buzz from my editor telling me there is a new short term offer to feature KREO transformers instead of the  run-the-mill Brick Gamers. After a few back and forth about the pros and cons it was agreed I will do a few strips for them .... so enter the transformers!

Now a lot of you LEGO fans/users might be wondering how is KREO's bricks compared to our beloved LEGO's, well I have been building and shooting using KREO's bricks and I gotta tell they are on par in terms of feel, texture and quality.

Last but not least... both brands' bricks are compatible, meaning you can mix them up and build! KREO has some variety of their own unique bricks which opens up new building possibilities for you builders out there... if you are not a 'purist' so to speak.

What do old / retired gamers do in their spare time? Well, personally I have a few friends who kinda reach that stage and instead of playing, they watch online play through videos of their beloved video game franchises latest titles.

Hi folks, those of you who followed my blog will undoubted noticed lately I went completely offline. Well, a few months ago I was doing the usual midnight surfing and was hit by an excruciating headache. I went to bed and next thing when I woke up, half my body was numb...in a way, getting an arrow to the knee might have been a better deal.

Cyber gold mining can not get any more serious than this: it is reported North Korea finances its nuclear ambitions with the proceeds of an MMO-gold farming operation.
