Alongside gaming, my gaming buddy and I watch some cheesy TV. Last month it was Thunderbirds, and right now it's Ultraman Returns, the 1970s Japanese TV show that revived the Kaiju craze in Japan. The show is in subtitles, but it is really fun. Just like Thunderbirds, there are tons of real model sets, vehicles and planes for the special effects. And then there are the wrestling matches between Ultraman and the Kaiju of the day. Each episode shows off another kaiju, and the Blue-Ray collection has a Kaiju Roll Call booklet. Here's the first batch we been watching. 

It's almost July and I'm going to focus on the 80s in gaming for a month. Here's what I'm interested in for 1980. 

Got a late start, so I'm moving fast through what I played this last week. 

Only three games this week as I played EDF 2025 to the point of exhaustion, but I'm done with that for now. 

In my year-long project, June is 1970s month. In video gaming this means Pong, Atari 2600, arcade games and various LED handhelds. 

Oh, the 2-pagers. I love these.

I played a little bit of several titles, but what I mostly played was Earth Defense Force 2025 with my friend and an assortment of randos. 

Went to Fan Expo in center city Philadelphia on June 3rd with a friend of mine who was after celebrity signatures. I met several, plus comic creators and a lot of cosplayers. 

Games played or just visited over the last week. 

I briefly touched on a handful of games and then my friend and I got back into Diablo II for a good long time. Finally, I dug into Horizon: Zero Dawn on my PS4.
