Jayenkai	It's that time again!! Let's open up the box of delights, and see what wonderful things are within > Reveal 🔎 Shirt : Playing with Power [flickr]31548657675[/flickr] Niiiiice Arcade Score : 0/10 - Nintendo might occasionally be Arcadey, but these cartridges, consoles and controllers definitely aren't. Lanyard : Pacman [flickr]30707867434[/flickr] A lovely little Pacman gift. I wonder who might pinch it..? Arcade Score : 10/10 - \o/yeay\o/Pacman! Mum's already pinched it, for holding her glasses!! Book : Diablo III [flickr]30739303143[/flickr] tsk Oh, goody.. Another notebook. Nice design, though. > Reveal 🔎 [flickr]30707866474[/flickr] Holy bloody actual Diablo hell.. It's actually a proper actual bloody book!!! Lovely, and well designed, and gorgeous. Bravo!! Price on the back says $35.00! Jinkies!! Arcade Score : 0/10 - Such a poor score, for such a lovely item. Tea Infuser : Zelda [flickr]31548657155[/flickr] I'm sure my cousin Ryan will love this month's Zelda item! ... ! Arcade Score : 0/10 - Zelda isn't an Arcade game. Shot Glasses : Call of Duty [flickr]30739302283[/flickr] What a lovely item. Will be used over Xmas, I imagine. Kewly! Arcade Score : 0/10 - No Arcade for Call of Duty. Group Shot [flickr]31510544186[/flickr] Total Arcade Score : 10/50 Not a bad haul, this month. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

rockford	Oh dear; a pretty ropey selection IMHO. Shame that Diablo III book is a notepad and not an "Art of" book. It wouldn't be any more arcade related than zero, but it would at least be a nice book.

Jayenkai	Spoiler on the Diablo book...

rockford	Ah, I missed that. So, yeah, that makes it instantly betterer(tm).

Jayenkai	Arcade Block January 2017 One of, if not the, last Arcade Blocks As of next month (or will it be the month after?) Arcade Block is no more. Instead, they're splitting the box into two, and rebranding them as "Gamer Block E for Everyone" and "Gamer Block M for Mature" I assume that I'll much prefer the E for Everyone, but for the purpose of trying things out, I've ordered both for a few months. We'll try them both out, and in a few months time when I've collected a pile of utterly shit FPS characters, I'll probably cancel the M for Mature block! Meanwhile, the E for Everyone block promises to have a Parappa goodie in the first box, so Woohoo if it does!! (And it'd better not be that same sodding magnet they already gave us) -=-=- Meanwhile, let's peek inside this month's block. > Reveal 🔎 TShirt .. Um.. [flickr]31491859173[/flickr] Hmmm.. Let's take a closer look, shall we?! > Reveal 🔎 [flickr]31925834150[/flickr] Hmmm... ...Nope.. Let's see what the card says! > Reveal 🔎 .. Oh. Arcade Score : 0/10 - It might have an Arcade Mode, but that doesn't count! Plushie : Assassins Creed [flickr]31491860833[/flickr] Nice enough, I suppose, but not something I'll be holding on to. Arcade Score 0/10 Disappointing Keyring : Gameboy [flickr]31925833550[/flickr] Mangled and smooshed, and .. it's just a light! Compared to the Street Fighter keyring we got a while ago, which was nice and blocky and plastic and pixelated, lit up, and also went "HADOOOOKEN!", this is just a shit piece of crappy material with a lightbulb. (If you remember those kid's waterproof books from the 80s.. It feels like that..) Really quite disappointing. It doesn't even go. .............................buh-ding! Boooo! Arcade Score 0/10 - Slightly tempted to give it a minus figure for being so shit.. Glassware : Zelda [flickr]32302581505[/flickr] For Candles.. Goes to cousin Ryan, as do all Zelda things. Arcade Score 1/10 - Because people whinge if I don't give Zelda an arcade score. tsk Book : Megaman [flickr]31491860113[/flickr] Inside : > Reveal 🔎 [flickr]31925832340[/flickr] A nice book full of robots! Would be nice to have similar Sonic and Mario books, to go with this. Really quite a nice book! Arcade Score 1/10 - Megaman gets what Zelda gets! -=-=- Total Arcade Score - 2/50 - A sad score for what is probably the last Arcade Block And there we have it. Possibly the last of the Arcade Blocks. Unless they're sending them out a month ahead, in which case next month's will be the last one. I suppose I'm going to have to come up with a new metric for these. Hmmm... Might actually have to rank items based on how much I like them. Then when the score carries on being 0/50, it won't be quite as easy to defend buying the bloody things!! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

rockford	I think you were particularly generous with your scoring this month Jay. Hopefully the Gamer blocks will be better...
