Loot Crate, is a monthly subscription service that sends a box of 4-6 items, from collectibles, apparel, tech gadgets, art, and other geeky pop culture goodness with a monthly theme right to your doorstep. They have six monthly crates to choose from; the original Loot Crate, Loot Anime, Loot Gaming, Loot Pets, Loot Wear, and Loot Crate DX.

They also have officially partnered crates as bi-monthly subscriptions; the 'Wizarding World Crate' based on the worlds of Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts, plus 'Firefly', 'Halo', 'WWE Slam', 'Marvel', 'Sanrio' and 'Minecraft' crates.

They are asking bloggers to put together their 'Dream Crate'. There’s even a chance they’ll pick one lucky blogger’s crate theme to make into a future month’s crate! I'm a huge fan of the Sci-Fi genre, so here is what I'd like to see in a Sci-Fi Dream Crate.

Cool Art: 'Mass Effect Saga' by Sam Spratt

'Mass Effect Saga' by Sam Spratt is an 18" x 24" lithograph print on 100lb. paper, and is available for pre-sale at $25 from Bioware.

“I've been a big fan since it came out and really BioWare as a whole since I was young. 'Mass Effect' is one of the only series I've stumbled upon where the writing, characters, and art direction were cohesive and immersive enough to pull me into full-fledged video game escapism. It's incredibly ambitious, one of the most socially conscious and inclusive game series out there, and despite the occasionally overly vague dialog wheel that "tricked" me into accidentally killing characters I grew embarrassingly attached to on multiple occasions—it remains one of the best representations of games as art."
