Little brings out the child in me like the term Glow in the Dark. Instantly, I am a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle loving, Captain Planet theme song singing, G. I. Joe playing, Hulkamaniac rooting, baseball card trading kid with absolutely certainty that I was going to be the world’s first Astronaut Forest Ranger. Life was easier back then. We may not have had the internet like it is today, but we also didn’t have the TSA groping our wiggle bits and an addiction to text messaging. In the Starlite review, I already disclosed my experience with Glow in the Dark retail items when I was a young adult so now I am going to delve back farther. When I was a kid, if it was Glow in the Dark, it was a must buy. I remember how it started. I was going through some boxes in the garage when I found a boxed version of the old text based game called Wishbringer. Wishbringer was a branch off of the text based game Zork, and Zork back then what World of Warcraft is today, except not online and no graphics. The game also came with a small glow in the dark “Wishbringer” stone. This was my first exposure to GITD items, and you might have thought I stumbled across the answer to life, the universe, and everything. It went to school with me, to church, on my nightstand, and soon my room was covered with glow in the dark stars and black lights. I was one Pink Floyd poster away from the swat team busting in to look for drugs. Over time the stone got dirty and glowed less and less. Just like my obsession with glow in the dark items, overtime it faded out. When I look at the “GlowNasty” and see how bright it is in even dim light it instantly takes me back. When the GITD Die-Nasty showed up in the review package from YoYoFactory, it was the first thing I showed to my daughter. Immediately I could see the wheels turning in her head. She thinks its “really cool” and since I have two, she wants one for “her room”… and the cycle starts anew.
