November Hauls and a Festive Teaser!

Happy Holidays, ya'll! Busting out a rare Lazy Shell update that takes less than two months after the last one! Today's agenda is the stuff that I procured in the month of November...and a little something special at the end.


South Park: The Fractured But Whole (Switch) (Amazon)

This Fall, I randomly decided to marathon South Park, as I had always enjoyed the episodes of it I had seen, but never really caught more than a stray random one before. I now tune into it every week. So, you can see why I purchased the Stick of Truth game when it came out on the Switch...and finished it within a week...and wanted more, so I eyed the Fractured But Whole Amazon listing like a Hawk until it was lowered to less than half-price. Then I bought it and here we are.

Been playing it and already enjoying it even more than Stick of Truth. There are more areas to explore, taking selfies is super addictive, and I get to dress like a Shark/Spider-Man hybrid named after a ridiculous Yu-Gi-Oh! card. It's good.



Ralph Breaks the Internet Domez Blind Bag Figure - Yesss

My family surprised me with THIS on Black Friday after the holiday rush had taken its toll on my sleeping schedule and I was left in kind of a crabby mood. Thankfully, I got more than a bit of rest following that and now I can look at Twitter without wanting to hurt things. Anyway, there's an 8-Bit Ralph and Felix in this blind bag series, so I think I need to buy more of them.



Arcade Classics - Fix-It Felix Jr.
Ho-Oh and Zeraora Codes (Gamestop)
Ralph Breaks the Internet Ticket Stub

Speaking of surprises to try and lift my unfortunate mood from being sleep-deprived, my Sister handed THIS to me right after we got out of Ralph Breaks the Internet the Saturday after Black Friday. Needless to say, I was elated. It's SUCH a cool piece of merch for a HUGE Wreck-It Ralph fan like me and I thank my lucky stars every day that I have a family who choose to bestow THIS MUCH kindness upon me just because I'm feeling a bit off. Love you guys more than you'll ever know.

Also included are some Pokemon codes I had my Sister pick up for me (She lives closer to a Gamestop than I, so whenever there's a new 'Mon, I give her a little mission) and my ticket stub from the previously-mentioned showing of Ralph Breaks the Internet. (Loved it. It was great seeing my favorite pixelated knuckleheads back together on the big screen and there were a ton of laughs, Easter Eggs, and even tears shed.) 


64-Gig MicroSD Card

Because downloading both Stick of Truth and Fractured But Whole's MASSIVE update had my Switch's space gasping for air.

Now on to that something special I mentioned!


THIS bad boy is the Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG Advent Calendar, filled with festive trading cards of all sort. I have NO IDEA what's in this thing, so how about we find out together? Yep, since I love Christmas and Yu-Gi-Oh! more than any mentally stable 27-year-old probably should, I've decided to open up one box on this Advent Calendar every day in December leading up to Christmas, complete with any trivia I can dig up on the cards within. It's kinda like the Advent Calendars Matt of X-Entertainment and Dinosaur Dracula fame used to do, only not nearly as ambitious. Anyway, get ready for the most wonderful time of the year and be back here TOMORROW for the first ever installment of "Astral's Advent Observations!"
