June 22, 2015June 22, 2015 Serpentorslair StaffStar Wars, The POP-EXPOSE, Train, Yoda0 comment

Today’s Story Courtesy of Serpentorslair Contributor ‘Train‘! Yoda’s Dagobah hut The other day I was driving and I went past a tree stump, and on top there was a small piece that had been missed or was re growing or something. I was going kind of fast and it caught my eye for a short period. Either way, it was very similar looking to Yoda’s Dagobah hut. I asked my 8 year old, who happens to be a bit of a Star Wars and Minecraft nut, how do you think…

G.I.Joe ‘Battle Force 2000’ Story by Mitchell Smith!

June 14, 2015April 9, 2022 Serpentorslair Staffaction figures, Battle Force 2000, G.I.Joe, The POP-EXPOSE, Train0 comment

Battle Force 2000 In 1987 the year 2000 looked quite a ways off, now it looks quite a ways behind. Never the less, the G.I.Joe Battle Force 2000 figures, vehicles, and the battle station that they could combine to make was quite a concept and if any one has ever had all the pieces, it does form a neat little base. As a kid I only had one vehicle and no Figures. The Dominator was a pretty cool vehicle. I got hours of playtime and enjoyment out of…

Today’s article courtesy of Serpentorslair Contributor ‘Train‘. Join in the Discussion after the JUMP! The Millennium Falcon In 1977 an Empire was in it’s infancy. Star Wars has grown to an enormous empire today. Many characters and quotes have been a staple in the franchise, but one of the most famous ships in the movie is the Millennium Falcon. As Han so eloquently put it, it’s the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy. The Falcon first came onto the scene shortly after Luke and Ben made a deal to…

Today’s Article courtesy of Serpentorslair Contributor ‘Train‘! Join in the discussion after the JUMP!

Barbecues, picnics, camping, and many other outdoor activities. We definitely should take time to honor those heroes that have fought…

Today’s article courtesy of Serpentorslair Contributor ‘Train‘. Join in the Discussion after the JUMP! Has the digital world stifled or enhanced the musical world? A few months ago I thought about writing on the topic of the digital world killing the album. People can just download their favorite songs and make play list and what not. By not having to buy an album to listen to their favorite songs, they eliminate all the songs that didn’t make the hit list but may very well be a gem that didn’t get…

Today’s story courtesy of Serpentorslair Contributor Train! Join in the Discussion after the JUMP! TIME TRAVEL Time travel has been a concept for many years. In the past 50 years or so time travel has been depicted in many movies and shows. I think this is perhaps one of the most desired dreams of humans that may never come to fruition. Over the past several years and perhaps decades time travel has been brought to life. Some of the most recent movies include Hot Tub Time Machine and Mr. Peabody…

So I am sure that most of you have heard the amazing news that the X-Files is returning next year for a 6 part mini-series event. I am beyond ecstatic over this news!
