Not sure what to buy the person who has everything this holiday season? Why not a keg of ranch dressing?

The real question is why don't all baby goats wear luchador masks?

Trailer for Gotham by Gaslight movie.
I'm not a big DC fan to begin with and I'm honestly sick of Batman and Superman both. However, I've seen some of the animated films over the past few years and they've been knocking them out of the park.

I bought a PS4 and the first game, and I don't regret it at all.
I have been treated to a flurry of games that just blow my mind. Horizon Zero Dawn is horridly addictive.

A PS4 is certainly on my 'buy when I can afford' list. Last of Us and Horizon Zero Dawn are two of the top two reasons. And with a new Last of Us... I guess I gotta get my ass caught up soon.

Posting to MSB because, you know. Reasons.
