Daze in the life

This collection of loosely-strung vignettes varies in quality. It happens, especially when you have half a dozen issues with as many creators.

The first story, "Loose Ends", offers a promising future foe in Kraven's daughter. It's a follow-up to a story told elsewhere.

Next is "Marked". It features a "D-list" (according to Spider-Man) villain going by The Spot. He should be upgraded to more of a threat seeing as he doesn't set off the Spidey Sense anymore.

Following this is "Birthday Boy". Pretty much a character-centric filler with Wolverine. It's not bad - none of these really are - it just feels like treading water.

The 2 part "Face Front" features the Fantastic Four. The story about dabbling in an alternate dimension's affairs is cliche, and the focus on a mindwipe about Spidey's identity starts to grate after a while.

Finally, we have the 3 part "24/7". This is the most entertaining of the bunch. Peter goes on a superhero spree for days, simply to annoy the newly-elected mayor. It also introduces an acid-spitting version of the Vulture.

I listened to Episode 11 on Spotify. This is just a side note that is separate from the content of the podcast but the audio wasn't synced up right between the speakers. I don't know if it had to do with my device or the medium but it made it very difficult to follow at first. The creators of this podcast certainly seem to know a lot and are very enthusiastic about lots of different fandoms. I know that they just go by the theme of the crate, but fandoms are so big they really could each use their own episode. I kind of skipped over the Rick and Morty part of this episode because I'm not a follower of the show but I really enjoyed listened to their commentary on early Westworld, having seen almost all the way through season 2. I also thought Robert's (I think that is his name) theory on Muggle-borns and the recessive gene was really interesting. Overall, it seems like a good podcastn especially if you're at the edge of the world of fandoms and want to dive in deeper.

Excellent game, though far too expensive!

A truly superb game that thoroughly surprised me!

At first I was a little sceptical about how Resident Evil 2 would translate to a board game, but the creators managed to capture the story and the horror perfectly, somehow making everybody involved absolutely terrified, just like the game!

The game is slightly complicated for those new to dice based games (me included), but I believe it to be an excellent starter for beginners.

The game is also unusually for 1-4 players, though I can't imagine it being much fun solo.

Another plus is the number of expansions, all enjoyable, but just like the core game, they are all considerably expensive for what's involved.

The cost is the main issue with this game, the core game costing between £60-80, and expansions anywhere between £15-30 each.

The expansions, with the exception of the rather good B-Files Expansion, contain very little, and add very little. They contain very little and still use the same amount of packaging, using a lot of plastic and wasting paper and cardboard.
