My family has officially started making LEGO part of the holidays. We have Christmas-themed sets that come back out every year LEGO Advent calendars have become a thing in our house We even have certain LEGO flowers that come out around Valentine’s Day So when I started looking at Halloween LEGO sets, I realized these actually make a lot of sense for us. Build something together in October Put it out with the rest of the decorations Pack it away after
I have a love/hate relationship with horror games. They’re amazing content because apparently watching me freak out is entertaining. Unfortunately, that requires me to actually play them. And jump scares get me every single time. I can handle creepy environments. I can handle something slowly building in the background. I can even convince myself I’m fine while walking through some horrible abandoned building. Then something jumps onto the screen and all of that goes out the window. With October here,
I’ve always liked LEGO, but I didn’t have a massive collection growing up. It was just one of those things I enjoyed whenever I got the chance. Then I had kids. We started buying sets for them, I eventually decided to pick one up for myself again, and somewhere along the way LEGO became one of my favorite ways to completely shut my brain off for a while. If I need a hard reset or just want to get away
The PS5 Pro is better than the PS5. There. Saved you some time. The real question is whether it’s $900 better, especially if you already have a perfectly good PS5 sitting in your house. I own the original disc PS5, not the Pro, so I’m not going to pretend this is a hands-on comparison. Instead, I wanted to look at exactly what that extra money gets you in 2026. And there are really two questions here: “If you already own
I’m Team PlayStation. I’m pretty sure, like a lot of people, I was gifted my first console as a kid and apparently decided right then and there that this was my hill. I’ve stuck with PlayStation ever since. PS1. PS2. PS3. PS4. PS5. They’ve gotten better every generation, I’ve always liked PlayStation, and at this point there’s a familiarity to it that would make it really hard for me to suddenly jump ship. I’ve also never owned an Xbox. So
I mentioned wanting this set a long time ago. The kids and I had started getting into anime together; we watched quite a bit of One Piece, and I thought the Going Merry would be a fun LEGO set for us to build. Plus… Pirate ships are awesome. That’s pretty much all the justification I needed. Apparently my family remembered, because the Going Merry showed up for my birthday! Some links in this article may be affiliate links, meaning I
Some days, I genuinely believe ChannlerG is going to work. Other days? I’m just laying bricks. That’s kind of where I’m at right now. I’ve been doing this long enough that I thought I’d have a little more to show for all the work I’ve put into it. Not that I necessarily deserve some massive audience or a website making thousands of dollars every month. I don’t. But when you’ve spent this much time writing, streaming, making videos, learning SEO,
Some of my favorite gaming memories have absolutely nothing to do with winning. They’re the moments where everyone is laughing because someone accidentally drove off a cliff. Or burned the kitchen down. Or forgot to grab the objective while everyone else was yelling. Gaming together just feels different. Over the past few years, I’ve played co-op games with my wife, my kids, friends, and family, and I’ve realized something. The best co-op games aren’t always the biggest games. They’re the
When I started setting up my gaming area, I thought buying a desk would be the easy part. Find one that looked cool Make sure it fit my room Done A year later… There are a handful of things I’d do differently. Some of these mistakes cost money Some cost desk space Some just annoy me every single day If you’re building a setup in 2026, hopefully this saves you from making the same mistakes I did. Some links in
Some days… I don’t want to write a blog. I don’t want to edit another video. I don’t want to hit “Go Live.” I just want to sit on the couch, play a game, and not think about: Analytics Affiliate links Google rankings Or whether this week’s content is “good enough.” And the more I think about it… The more I think that’s normal. The Motivation Myth When people picture someone building a business, they imagine this person who’s constantly
