May 2016 Geek Fuel

May 2016 Geek Fuel

This was the most disappointing box, but that’s not saying too much. August likes the Geek Fuel subscription boxes each month and there were still things in this box he liked but overall this one for the most part missed the mark.

Let’s start with the shirt. It’s a Game Of Thrones shirt, which doesn’t do anything for my 13 year old son who has not read the books nor watched the television series.

The game looks interesting enough but it isn’t something he had heard about.

Uncharted was featured with two generic postcards and a ring that would mean more if August had played through any of the games. It’s a good piece, especially how it is housed, but it seems awfully expensive for a limited appeal – unless I’m missing something and the Uncharted series has sold exponentially well when I wasn’t looking.

Deadpool was featured again this month, and August rather liked these items.

And finally there was the favorite item, a Geek Fuel pint glass.

Thankfully August knows that not every month’s box is going to be filled with items he will love. he also understands that “geek culture” is wide and far-reaching with a lot of different facets. Geek Fuel attempts to appeal to as wide an audience as possible every month, and while there were things August liked, this just wasn’t the month for him. He is already looking forward to next month’s box.
