Last week, Warner Bros. PR in Toronto, Ontario, sent over a bunch of Ninjago play sets for LEGO Dimensions. Over the past few days, my six year old son Logan and I have been building the sets and exploring the Ninjago world.

If you have never had the pleasure of playing a Walking Dead game, and you have some interest in the television series, than you really need to get your hands on everything Telltale has published. While they are known for producing story centered games, the truth is that the Walking Dead series - Season 1, Season 2, and this latest miniseries looking at Michonne - are the best of their work. We recently got a code for the 1st episode of The Walking Dead: Michonne, and we really liked it!

Last week, Warner Bros. PR in Toronto reached out and let me know they had a number of Ninjago, LEGO Dimensions fun packs and character packs to send my way. They arrived yesterday, and my six year old son Logan lost his mind. Not only is Logan a big Ninjago fan, but he is also a big LEGO Dimensions fan.

It wouldn't be a complete week of news and reviews without another video from our good friend, @OMGitsJezy. Earlier this week, Jezy took a look at the Thrustmaster Y300X headset for Xbox One. For the most part, Jezy was impressed with this headset, although he wasn't crazy about the slightly heavier weight. Regardless, check out his review below.

Why? Time to discuss my Animal Crossing addiction with you! Everyone in my house loves Animal Crossing. My dad has been playing Animal Crossing since the Gamecube version.
