Friday Five – Random 90’s Non Sports Card Boxes
This past Saturday was the “It’s a Toy Show” at Farpoint Toys. Me and The Hunters drove half way to the shore on Memorial Day weekend like a bunch of lunatics to buy old toys. Here is how I decided to spend $55 by buying sealed boxes of ancient non sports cards no one else in their right mind would ever actually want.

Friday Five – Spider Man Villains
So this weekend is the big release of Amazing Spider-Man 2. It looks like it might be pretty OK, but I’m not running out to see it immediately like I was with Captain America. Regardless, in honor of the new film, I’m picking my favorite Spider Man villains this week.

Friday Five – Favorite Video Game Consoles
Well, this ought to we a easy week, as I only ever had 6 consoles in my life. I’ll leaving out my Wii, as I haven’t turned it on in 3 years, and all I ever did with it was hack it into a NES emulator to play Bad News Baseball.

Friday Five – Favorite TV Series Finales
Why is it so hard for a TV show to stick the landing and have a satisfying finale? Endings are tough, and contradictory by nature. It should provide enough closure, yet still be open ended to give the sense that these people have their own lives, and possibilities still await for them in the future. A good conclusion should reward us, the viewer, for choosing to spend our time with the characters of a show and give a meaning to our shared experience. A good finale should show that the people we first saw in the pilot episode have grown and changed, along with us, as we watched them. And most importantly, while it should show that characters changed, don’t change them fundamentally just for change sake. Any changes should be organic, and not an attempt to be clever.

Friday Five – Celebrity Crushes
Ok, so in a bold move, I’ve decided to jump from same sex celebrity crushes to. . . opposite sex celebrity crushes.
I basically already did this in the Zombie Apocalypse list, but I’ve made some slight adjustments.

Friday Five – Same Sex Celebrity Crush
Ok, this one is inspired by from Troy’s (Donald Glover’s) last episode of Community. It was a pretty forgettable moment in the show, but I couldn’t forget it and decided to run with it this week.
Really, this list could just be all the male members of the MCU. But I’ll try to vary it up a bit.

Friday Five – Favorite Space Ships
Who hasn’t dreamed of flying through the stars? If you’re here reading this, probably you! Space is too majestic to not want to explore. It is the final frontier after all! There are plenty of games, movies, shows, and books that help us feel like we’re there. While they may not always be accurate, space exploration is the dream! This is my tribute to my favorite space fairing ships.
