Nintendo has a rich, reliable and long history of selling off a bunch of excess plastic sitting around by way of “special edition” consoles. You’d see this much more frequently with the portables (endless iterations of the DS and 3DS in particular) and every so often with the home systems. Typically these essentially just repaints would hit store shelves during sales slumps or toward the end of a product’s life cycle. So it’s no surprise that as we near the Nintendo Switch’s 8th (!) birthday and have a successor looming on the horizon, it’s happened again. Only not with some fancy new System Dock or colorful Joy Cons, this time it’s a “Hyrule Edition” of the portable only Lite variant. Never could I have predicted the day where I’d be singing the praises of an in name only “Switch,” but here we are.

I love it.

Join the Nerdman Rob Van Brunt and Ray Gabriel as they boldly go deep into the life and times of the one and only Captain Kirk! It’s a joyous Thanksgiving celebration of all things Star Trek and true lovefest to the man himself: Denny Crane William Shatner.

If it wasn’t already fairly obvious, Halloween is a big deal here at the Dorkside. But even as someone who sure gets excited for this particular holiday, this year was perhaps the most excited I’ve ever been. Our daughter Alice turned 2 back in September, which means that she was 2 months old for her first Halloween and just over a year old for her second. This October 31st would be the first time where she could actively participate in the festivities, take in all of the costumes, walk up to doors for trick or treating, y’know really experience the whole thing. Our evening turned out to be a truly memorable one, transporting my wife and I back to as close to our own childhoods as we could possibly get.

Let’s take a look!

Well now, time sure does fly doesn’t it kids? We’ve finally arrived at the last installment of this year’s Friday Night Frights and we’re gonna wrap it all up with none other than the one that started it all: Wes Craven’s original A Nightmare on Elm St. The timing worked out perfectly as we’ve been counting down the mainline series from Freddy’s Dead leading up to the release of a special 4k blu ray which landed on my doorstep just the other day. That’s right, this year marks Mister Krueger’s 40th anniversary, the ruby anniversary if you will. And as I’m sure you all know, the ruby is a gem which is said to symbolize passion, loyalty, and devotion.

I’d say that sums up Freddy pretty well.

While it may still be September for the average citizen, around the Dorkside here there have been signs of Halloween creeping in since mid-August. And now that we have arrived at the last Friday the 13th before the big day, I’d say it’s time to watch Jason Voorhees get his spooky groove on. This year marks the 40th anniversary of the fan favorite 3rd sequel subtitled The Final Chapter, so that’s as good a choice to throw on as any. You remember, it’s the one that slammed a corkscrew into the franchise and ended it forever.

Oh wait nevermind, they made like 8 more after this. Hey where the Hell is that corkscrew anyway?
