Bully is an action-adventure video game set in a fictional boarding school, Bullworth Academy.
In stereotypical fashion the students are divided into groups, nerds, preppies, jocks etc

The game follows newcomer Jimmy Hopkins, an aggravated teenager with an attitude problem who's about to discover what its like to be on the receiving end.
Filled with errands from both teachers and students & classes to pass like maths, geography, science & Gym and a GTA style gameplay and control system, bully has overtook its original canis canem edit pre gen console release with new characters and additional missions, with an array of costumes & weapons aswell as a perfectly annoying antagonist named Gary and a beautiful ending.

Bully created a gaming cult.

Hilarious cast of comedians. Decent D&D adventure. The “brought to you by”s from Blaine Capatch! (0 more)

Warning: not for kids. Damn it’s funny!
If you want serious D&D...if you want strict adherence to the rules...if you want comedic references only from the millennial standpoint...oh baby this ain’t for you.

This is a group of comedians/comedic actors who have been playing D&D together and separately for decades. Their cameraderie shows. The jokes are great even when they’re dumb. The laughs and action are non-stop. (Well, one or the other at least at a time.)

The DM’s stories are always fun. Hell, they even make reading thanks’ to Patreon supporters a laugh. (Thanks, Skeletor’s Dick!)

Seriously, if you like fun and know at least a little about D&D, and are into lowbrow humor, this podcast WILL NOT FAIL YOU.

RIP, Amarth Amon.

2019 | Adventure, Drama
Not-really-based-on-fact balloon-centric drama turns out to be predictably lightweight. A meteorologist (historical character) and a female balloon pilot (fictitious) embark on an expedition into the sky to see if the weather can predicted.

Two people get into a balloon; they go up, they come back down again. There is a bit of jeopardy along the way, and moments which may give people with a fear of heights a funny turn, but it all feels oddly low-octane and polite. The film is given extra ballast by extended flashbacks to what led them up to this point, but this is quite ordinary bonnet opera stuff. You do wonder what kind of film this is meant to be: not enough depth for a genuine drama, not enough action for an adventure. Works hard to tick all the diversity boxes, naturally. Looks great and the score is impressive, but I came out wondering what the point of it was.

So i found this movie really intresting. I like the sci-fi future post apocalyptic setting, it was really intresting. Im not sure why alot of people didnt like this movie, cause it was really good.

The plot: Hundreds of years after a cataclysmic event destroyed civilization, mysterious young Hester Shaw emerges as the only one who can stop the city of London -- now a giant predator on wheels -- from devouring everything in its path. Feral and fiercely driven by the memory of her mother, Hester joins forces with Tom Natsworthy, an outcast from London, and Anna Fang, a dangerous outlaw with a bounty on her head.

Peter Jackson produced it and he also wrote the screenplay. It feels like a peter jackson film. I feel like he should of directed it.

Anyways its a really great post apocalyptic movie that has sci-fi, action, adventure and is in the future.

Definitely an underappreciated gem.
