Ever since I decided to stop buying any PS5 games aside from Wolverine, I have jumped ship to the Nintendo ecosystem and the first game from this switchover (No pun intended) is none other than Star Fox. Star Fox isn't just a remaster/remake of Star Fox 64, it actually has added features that weren't available in the original version like co-op in Campaign Mode aka. Story Mode. It also has 4 vs. 4 online multiplayer and much much more! So, it isn't just Star Fox 64 with a fresh coat of paint. It's its own standalone game. I'd highly recommend you to check it out if you have the chance.

BeamNG.drive version 0.39 marks the start of a new era for BeamNG.drive. This version has given BeamNG.drive a complete overhaul and has also added a new car. The Cherrier Ardente is the new addition to BeamNG.drive. It is a French sports car that uses the FCV platform. This update also give users the Forest Audio Editor and much much more! This might be the most extensive BeamNG.drive update yet. Who knows what the devs will cook up next for version 0.40?

The main reason why I got this Google TV Stick in the first place is to stream content on older TVs to complete the whole retro futuristic vibe. I first used a converter box that I got off of Amazon and it didn't work as it was not unidirectional. So, I went on AliExpress and made sure I got one that said "Output" on the AV side and "Input" on the HDMI side. And yeah, it's fun to watch YouTube on a old tube TV. I might also play modern games on it!

Same teams, different drivers and, two great races. While not much went on at the Brickyard, we got Carson Kvapil's long awaited first win and Corey Heim's 2nd win while holding off Christopher Bell. So yeah, miles ahead of the IRP race in the NASCAR Truck Series. As much as most NASCAR fans including me want to see the NASCAR Cup Series at IRP, it still proves that you can still have some good racing on a track that is hard to pass and not designed for stock cars. It's also a great way to start the NASCAR off weekend.

Even though a lot of fans want IRP to be on the NASCAR Cup Series schedule, this year's Truck Series at IRP was anything but exciting. As usual, Layne Riggs dominates nearly the entire race and takes home another win in a race that became a literal snoozefest. Also, the Hungarian Grand Prix will be included as a bonus!

Unlike last year, this year's Music City Grand Prix is not the season finale. It instead takes the place of the Honda Indy Toronto weekend as that race got moved over to August because of the FIFA World Cup and I have no plans to go to Markham either as I'm saving up for another race next year. But anyways, you would never expect Alex Palou to win at Nashville and yet... He did! He also won while Spain won the World Cup! So yeah, another unexpected win. Only couple of weeks left until we go to Portland. Will Alex Palou keep up his momentum at the Pacific Northwest? Well... Tune in to find out!

This year brought us the first points-paying North Wilkesboro race since 1996 only for it to be ruined by a Joey Logano win. Neither races were great. But, the Truck Series race at least didn't have one of the most hated drivers in NASCAR history ruin one of the most hyped races of 2026. Hopefully, the Brickyard 400 will be better than this disappointment.

Yes, Kimi Antonelli is finally back on the podium! After losing a couple of races, AK Antonelli is back where he belongs, in the lead. But anyways, this year's Belgian Grand Prix went without problems which is more than what can be said for the other two races. *Coughs* Music City Grand Prix... Only one more race to go before the Summer Break begins!

Alongside the two NASCAR races at Lime Rock Park is the summer races at Atlanta Motor Speedway. No, I am still not calling it EchoPark Speedway. Both races were filled with excitement. Justin Allgaier won an attrition heavy race with four red flags and Ryan Blaney won an epic ran-delayed night race. Next weekend, the NASCAR O'Reilly Series will be taking a break. So, it's just Trucks and Cup that will be racing at the first ever points paying North Wilkesboro race since 1996. Also, Formula 1 and IndyCar will be having races that weekend. So stay tuned for NASCAR's first points paying North Wilkesboro race since 1996 and IndyCar's first Nashville July race!

We head back to Lime Rock Park this year and it is the last road course on the NASCAR schedule. Thomas Anunziata was also planning to run a Kyle Busch throwback scheme. But, it was rejected by the Mars candy company themselves. So, that was disappointing. What wasn't disappointing was Grant Enfinger's win as he broke a 40 race losing streak! Hopefully, the 2nd set of Atlanta races will be just as exciting.

Even though this car only appeared for a few seconds in the movie itself, LEGO still decided to make a set out of it. This pink car is Suki's Honda S2000 that appeared in 2 Fast 2 Furious. It is the 2nd car in that movie that appeared in the LEGO Speed Champions line. This car is modified with a Comptech supercharger and is also one of the few vehicles that survived the first scene. Suki's other vehicle, the Mitsubishi Eclipse has yet to appear in LEGO form. Stay tuned for when I will get to the iconic Toyota Supra Mark IV driven by Paul Walker's character, Brian O'Conner.

LEGO Speed Champions gave us a newer version of the DeLorean Time Machine which appeared in the movie that made the car itself iconic. The DeLorean DMC-12 already had some fame to it. But, nobody wanted it until the Back to the Future movies came out. And, then all the sudden... Everyone wanted one! So yeah, the Back to the Future movies are responsible for making the DeLorean into an iconic car. It's amazing what the power of movies can do with a car that was deemed a failure. A failure can be turned into a success and gain a fanbase.

This might be one of the hardest Speed Champions sets I've ever built. It was finicky, frustrating and, there were a lot of fumbles and fails. But, it was still worth it for one of the best Speed Champions sets ever made. It's as close as you're going to get to a modern day LEGO Racers set. It is a sleek and futuristic car that is unlike anything seen in Speed Champions ever since. It wouldn't look out of place with the Exo Raider. For a line that focuses on realism, it is refreshing to see a futuristic concept car that looks like an F-Zero machine on wheels.

One of the things that I got for my birthday is a YoloPark model kit of Megatron from The Transformers aka. Transformers G1. Despite not being able to transform, it is still a good model kit to build and it is really quick and easy. Although, I did mess up on the arms. But, that's only because I've never built these YoloPark kits before. So yeah, it's good if you are into collecting these things.

NASCAR has not raced at Chicagoland for 7 years and people begged NASCAR to return to the track that's just 30 minutes away from Chicago. Their wish was finally granted this year. While the Truck Series did not host a race there, we still got two good races for the price of one! Brandon Jones beats Chase Elliott for his first Chicagoland win and Chase Briscoe wins with a patriotic paint scheme to celebrate America's 250th birthday! So yeah, turned out a lot better than I expected. Will Denny Hamlin claim another win at Atlanta? Well... Tune in next weekend to find out!

Last year's British Grand Prix might be disappointing in the fact that Lewis Hamilton didn't win. But, at least it turned out better than this dumpster fire of a race! As if Kimi Antonelli's mechanical failures weren't bad enough, the race ends under a safety car due to a software error. The 2026 Honda Indy 200 on the other hand was better. But, I'm not a fan of seeing Arrow McLaren win again. Hopefully, things will turn out better in Nashville and the Belgian Grand Prix.

Ever since I got my Hisense TV from Value Village, I wanted to see if it would stream content as I got a Google Streaming Stick on clearance in Walmart for this exact purpose. The streaming stick will work with any TV with an HDMI port. Even ones from long ago. I will also be testing it out on old CRT TVs and my DVD recorder. So, stay tuned for those videos!
