 Hey everybody, this could very well be the biggest haul of all time on this channel. You can probably guess what it is behind me. Let's do this. Hi everybody, welcome back to A Week in Geekdom. It's a little bit echoey. Don't worry about it. We'll fix that later. But what's important is that, yes, A Week in Geekdom 3.0, if you will, has officially begun this month of September. I hope you enjoy the next batch of, or the next phase of this channel. As we keep progressing, we keep moving forward. Of course, the whole hurricane thing, it was a confusing, absurd, ridiculous, frustrating year. But you know what? I'm just gonna say two things. Mother Nature will throw everything at you and you just have to survive because you can't really do much. And to put the blame on people, it's a little absurd because we're only human is what I'm getting at. You know, people make mistakes, we learn, we grow, we get better. It's that type of situation. So it upsets me when I see people complaining and fighting and arguing. Let's all just try to get along as best as we can because there's only one go at this, this whole life thing. So yeah, those are my two cents. I don't want to get too much in depth. If you know what I'm talking about, you know. If not, don't worry about it. This is the September haul of 2018. New shelves, you got that Kalex or Kalex, whatever you want to call them, action going from Ikea, as well as some billies and details and all that stuff. But that will be shown at a later time. But for now, you know, collection, the books are safe, collectibles, all that fun stuff so we can keep the ball rolling. I thank you for withstanding a whole, almost a year of me sitting on that old set, quote unquote, set, but it was just me sitting on the floor for a year talking about stuff. There was nowhere else I could shoot that I was comfortable with. So that was the only thing available. And hey, it worked. A lot of people came in and they probably said that is the most pathetic thing ever. But hey, it was, I guess it was fun in the mayhem and chaotic nature of it all. It was fun. And it's certainly this channel, I should say, certainly helped alleviate some of that frustration, pain, anger and sadness. And yeah, I will be forever thankful. I don't have a solid internet connection. So I cannot participate with the omnibros. I know a lot of people are waiting on that. I'm sort of that sixth guy that's never there. But I work behind the scenes in the channel. I maintain the channel going along with my friend Gabe Infinity Watch. We keep the Instagram running. I do the thumbnails and all that stuff. So if you've been wondering what my participation with the omnibus collectors network, that's sort of it. I work behind the scenes for now. Eventually, hopefully very, very soon, I can be on the show with the rest of the guys. They're like the brothers I wish I had because they are amazing human beings. And I will be forever thankful for their acceptance and their friendship and just the overall love that's in there. Even though they won't admit it, but it's just a fabulous time. There's also one thing I want to clear up and it's that a lot of people have arrived from said network, the omnibus collectors network, and are joining this channel as well. So thank you so much. If you're new to this channel, two things. One, every month I do a whole video and two, it's not, this channel is not a hundred percent about comic books. It's more about the geek life and the geekdom, if you will, hence the name of the channel. When it first started back in 2011 with my friend Brian, by the way, he was the one that gave this channel this idea a name. I wanted to call it something completely different. He suggested the title and I said, it's a little strange, but people will remember strange things, you know? Anyways, I made the channel with the idea of being a podcast and do like a weekly episode with a week's worth of information on one episode. That was my goal. Unfortunately, hosting and all that other crap is kind of expensive, especially when you make little to no money. So I had to quit it and turn this into a web show on YouTube. It was a podcast, then it turned into a web series or whatever. And a few people helped me out along the way. They eventually left to pursue other things, more important. But I continued because I enjoy entertaining you guys and talking about my favorite things and talking about movie reviews or books or comics, anime, video games, all that stuff. I love talking about that, collectibles. I love unboxing stuff for you guys, et cetera, et cetera. So when I started doing this thing solo, yeah, I couldn't get to the movie stuff for some reason, and I decided to focus mostly on books because that I could read and do like a cool little video for you guys rather quickly, whereas a movie, I would have to take the time to go to the theaters and see that movie and then write something up. And you know, this is more of a hobby passion project. So yeah, I focused for the last year and a half more on books than anything else. So maybe a lot of people, they went in expecting, oh, it's a cool comic book channel. It's more about the geek lifestyle, comic books, manga, anime, games, all that stuff. So yeah, that's sort of a little PSA because I love looking at the numbers. Whenever I put out a video that's not comic book related, a lot of people will leave. And then a couple of days later, I'll get back on the We Can Geek them hype train, if you will. I don't know if it's an algorithm thing. I don't know if it's just people that are undecided if they want to stay or not. It's OK. I really don't mind. But I am forever thankful for the loyal subscribers that have been here since day one. And the numbers keep growing. I'm very excited. It's a slow burn, but it's worth it, I think, in the long run. Thank you. Thank you so much. And for everybody that stuck around, especially for the last year, you are amazing. And I love each and every one of you. Thank you so very much. With all of that said, with that long ass introduction, let's do a haul. Book wise, I didn't really get anything, just two books. But for the they were late August, by the way. But for the month of September itself, none of the orders arrived. I think there were like three orders with some omnis thrown in there and hard covers and all that stuff. So next time I'll show you next time. Don't worry about it. But I did get some late August books that I wanted to highlight. One of them being Clean Room Volume 3. So I can finally finish the series and do like a proper series review on Gale Simone's Clean Room is the last volume. And I got this huge thing right here. Fantastic for Behold Galactus. This was a hilarious journey because the post office did not believe that this huge book and the box that it came in, it was pretty massive and epic. They didn't believe it was a book. So they're like, we're going to have to charge you for the media mail cost. I'm like, what are you talking about specifically? It turned out, you know, they were wrong. It was a book. I said, you know, they wanted to open it and inspect it because apparently media mail is reserved strictly for books and stuff. They didn't think there was a book inside. I'm like, whatever, just open the thing. It's a book. I don't care. They opened it and Behold Galactus. This thing is massive. It is beautiful. I did sort of like a quick little video on it on my Instagram for a week and eat them if you want to check it out. But what the hell? Open it. Here's the back cover. You can also check out multiple videos from other YouTubers. Can you? Yeah, it's too big, but it's awesome. It's all the Galactus stories in a massive, epic format. And as a huge novelty piece, it is excellent. A lot of people have Fantastic Four Omnis, the Stan Lee stuff with Jack Kirby, John Byrne, et cetera, et cetera. I have a few. I don't know if you can see them right there. That's me, the Fantastic Four cube. And yeah, a lot of stuff. It's old material, but it's the novelty factor, I guess, of a gigantic book with awesome Kirby illustrations, and they look beautiful. So that's it for books. That was a very small haul, the tiniest haul of books that I've ever done on this channel. But I did get some other cool stuff. Manga-wise, I got Ancient Magus Bride Vol. 7 and 8. I'm on Vol. 6, and the series is astonishing, beautiful, and just very wholesome. I cannot wait to finish all the material that's being published. I think Vol. 9 just came out, and then it goes into an infinite hiatus. I might be wrong, and there's like a guidebook or two guidebooks that are missing or encyclopedia or something. I want to get those so that I can do a series analysis, discussion, review something about Ancient Magus Bride, but it is really good. The other epic thing that I got, this box is empty, but I think you'll dig it. I have been wanting this for a while now, I should say, and I finally got it. It is a Nintendo Switch of my own, because when it first came out, I wanted to hold out on it. I wasn't sure the games looked amazing. I knew they were great, but I wanted to wait for some reason. And I told a friend of mine, I will not get a Switch until these guys announce a Metroid Prime 4 series game or whatever. Yeah, E3 2017, first thing I see in that Nintendo presentation, Metroid Prime 4, I'm like, oh, you getting a Switch now, son. So yeah, I've been playing around with it and it is fantastic. Got this as a birthday gift recently. And it's great. I love the Switch. I'm going to show you a couple of games as well that I got for set system. I did get Breath of the Wild. I think this is required if you own a Switch, this is the most own. And I got Sonic Mania Plus. Love me some Sonic and it's so nostalgic to play that game. I don't know. It's awesome. For the PlayStation 4, two games that people really like. God of War, finally on PlayStation 4 and this little indie title that people seem to be raving about. Spider-Man on PlayStation 4. So that's it. That is the haul for September 2018. Guys, thank you so much. I already said it at the beginning, but screw it. I'll say it again. Thank you so much. You are amazing. Thank you.
