6 Things On My Bucket List (Now That I’m 40)
Happy Birthday, to me! A whole bunch of coincidences came together for this moment: it’s a Wednesday, so there’s a new List of Six on this blog that I do, and it’s also my birthday, and it’s my 40th birthday. How about that? I’m 40! As of today! I’ve been writing this blog all through my 30s and let me tell you…life just keeps rolling along. I got no life lessons, people. Nothing. I’m still as interested in comic books and LEGOs as I was a decade ago.
So what to do for my List of Six on my 40th birthday? I thought about doing a fun list, like what comic book characters I hope to write someday. But I did that list last year and forgot that I did. Oh well. So I thought up another idea: what are things on my bucket list? I’ve got maybe 40 more years on this planet — if I’m lucky — and what am I going to do with those years? Hopefully, these six things, at some point.
Join me after the jump for six things on my life’s bucket list that I will hopefully complete before I die. And they’re all pretty surface level. Nothing silly like ‘fall in love again’ or ‘make a million dollars’. Just dumb Sean stuff. Also, other than the #1, the entries on this list are not in any particular order. They’re just in the way they came to me as I was writing.

Sometimes, all you have to do is wait for everything to fall apart. At long last, after years of the Krakoa-era of the X-Men comics, obscure Brotherhood of Mutants villain Phantazia has finally made an appearance. She’s never been a popular character or a major character. But she’s got a damn cool look, and it’s surprising nobody uses her more.
Not that she’s being used now.
Still, we’re in the Fall of X crossover now, with Krakoa falling apart. And only now has Phantazia appeared. Was she on Krakoa all along? What’s she doing now? Did she play a hand in the fall? We’re…probably never going to find out.
Join me after the jump for Phantazia’s brief return!

It’s Monday. I’m on vacation. How about some Super Mario gameplay to pass our time? The next 2D, side-scrolling Mario game is going to be Super Mario Bros. Wonder, and we’ve got a full, 15-minute video about the game. I love Mario games as much as the next person, so let’s check it out.
Yeah, looks like a fun Mario game. Nintendo rarely fails in building new Mario games, so I’m fully on board with what they’re producing here. Who doesn’t love new Mario levels? With new power ups, hidden secrets, collection challenges; these things are always fun and rewarding.
Super Mario Bros. Wonder comes out on Oct. 20, so we’ve got some time.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 9/2/23
Another week of not many comics, and that’s totally on me. Maybe I just need to read more comics? Hopefully I’ll get the chance, because I am on vacation! It’s also a good week for the new Ms. Marvel revival series.
Comic Book of the Week goes to the awkwardly named Batman/Catwoman: The Gotham War: Battle Lines #1 for an interesting kick off to yet another crossover and yet another war in Gotham City.
Meanwhile, Baldur’s Gate 3 continues to go well, though I still remain hesitant to sink any more playthroughs into my life on the off chance they improve the game down the line. I won’t be playing Starfield anytime soon because I don’t have an X-Box and I don’t think my PC can handle it. So that stinks. And in a few days it’s my 40th birthday, so that’s a thing!
Comic Reviews: Batman/Catwoman: The Gotham War: Battle Lines #1 and Ms. Marvel: The New Mutant #1.

Once upon a time, Five Nights at Freddy’s was a very popular video game. Is that still the case? I have no idea because I never played and have no interest in playing. I don’t want to play jump scare games. But it’s a Thursday and I finally have a movie trailer to share. I need content!
Looks fine! There have already been some knock-off films taking advantage of the delay in getting this one made. One of them starred Nicholas Cage! But this one looks solid. Spooky, probably not too gory, and it’s a horror film that’s actually coming out at Halloween, so I bet that’ll be nice and popular. Good on them for scoring that weekend.
Five Nights at Freddy’s comes to theaters on Oct. 27.
