As safety standards and methods of production evolve, certain toys just aren’t made like they’re used to. They can’t be, nor should they be. Toys run their course. And just because you had a favorite toy from your childhood, there’s no reason that same item should be available until the end of forever. Did you know that the original old-school Lite-Brite toy was a fire/electric shock hazard? But sometimes the toys come back anyway! In fact, many toys from Yesteryear have in fact been resurrected in the form of total trash heaps that literally hardly functions, such as… 1) The…

I’m an Oldtaku. That’s a term for an anime fan that’s aging. As a thirty-something who is out of touch, I can’t latch on to the new, hip, more popular word Weeb, a phrase that’s assigned to people with an all-encompassing love with (everything) from Japan. Otaku was always the one I latched onto. It’s got a negative connotation, sure, but it refers more to fandom itself rather than sodden panties from the prospect of cultural imports from Japan. My anime obsession peaked somewhere around 2001, then tapered off so I could have a few years of sexing and partying…
