Father’s Day is sneaking up faster than a cat after a can opener. Yeah, it’s that close. So, if you haven’t grabbed a gift yet, it’s time to panic-shop (like I did last year, oops). Anyway — wait, where was I? Oh right, deals. Let me ramble about some cool stuff you might want to snag before they’re gone.
First up, something about magic and cards — Magic: The Gathering has a Final Fantasy thing going on. Now, I’ve never played, but I heard it’s super popular. The Starter Kit’s perfect for beginners stepping into the world of spells and weird fantasy creatures. Think a mash-up of wizards meeting chocobos, or whatever they’re called. Yet, here I am, talking about cards like I know them. Maybe it’s just that glorious art that gets me.
Switching gears (like suddenly deciding you need ice cream at midnight), if you’re into gaming, that Indiana Jones game — what was it? Oh yeah, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, a premium something-or-other. Save twenty bucks. That’s the price of a pizza — depending on toppings. DLC’s included, which is cool if you’re into added game flavor. Speaking of flavor, did I eat today? Ah, forget it.
Now, if you’re one of those folks who missed the boat on the Nintendo Switch 2, fret not. There’s this OLED model going for a decent price. It has colors that could probably make rainbows cry with envy, if that makes sense. I stumbled upon it on Woot — sounds funny, right? Woot. That’s the name, not the sound I made when I won bingo… just saying.
Oh, and speaking of deals, earbuds! Apple AirPods Pros are discounted. I mean, dads love music, right? Perfect gift. Although it’s quite hilarious how easily those things get lost. Father’s Day tie-in, achieved.
I can’t forget the LEGO fans — the LEGO Star Wars set caught my attention. Was it Ahsoka Tano or something? Eh, I don’t know much about space operas but LEGO’s got this duel thing going on, and who doesn’t like building stuff? Anyway, it’s twenty percent off — better than nothing.
Blending back into anime land (a favorite detour), “Dan Da Dan” on Blu-ray’s a steal. Pretty sure my younger self would’ve adored it. Aliens, spirits — the usual animated chaos, or so they say. Takes me back to the ’90s cartoons where nothing made sense, but you loved every minute.
Last note, promise: pre-orders! “Trails in the Sky” is heading to PS5 or Switch. I hear it’s about time travel or some epic journey, but don’t quote me. Seems like a good entry point if you’re new to the series. Waiting and anticipating a new game is almost half the fun, isn’t it?
Okay, wrapping up my ramblings here. Yeah, Father’s Day is right around the corner, and these deals are a goldmine (if you dig through my chaotic spiel here). Happy shopping, or should I say, good luck?
