Great creature design
You'll be afraid of the dark
Simple and effective Horror, the story might seem basic but it works well. It has some good set piece scenes and an overall creepy feel to the film. The character development is good helped by a good cast. Worth checking out for old school horror fans and newcomers alike, just leave the light on!

uperbly judged atmosphere and controls (1 more)
Deceptively deep upgrade and combat system
Outrageously high price (1 more)
No option for original graphics.
The biggest addition is to the price tag, but Cave Story itself is still a masterclass in minimalist video game design.

The Greatest Showman
I love this movie so much. From the first downbeat it never stops. The dancing and singing is superb. Hugh Jackman has never been better. And Zac Effron is amazing. Keala Settle as Letty is a force to be reckoned with. Her voice is award worthy. This is a must see family film for musical lovers.

The relationship between Jameson and Candace continues to grow in the second By Design novel. I really love good series that develop the characters and their relationships and this one does not disappoint. Is everything rainbows and sunshine in all the relationships? No. That is what makes it real. The growing as a family is what this series seems to be about and it makes it awesome.

No real story
Well this is so low budget you would think this could have been made by anyone who thought let's make a horror film. It's a real let down with almost no story or dialogue that has any meaning. Just gory kills but the effects make them look silly rather than scary. At least the clown does look creepy.

Wow. Just, wow. This is an incredible movie. It is brilliantly made and it has so much blood and sweat and tears poured into it. This movie is cinematic perfection. From the directing, to the acting, to the cinematography, to the sound design, to the practical effects, to the costumes. This is a beautiful movie. I cannot recommend this movie enough. Go watch it.

I've played a few wargames in my time, both of the digital variety and of the 'analogue' kind (I prefer the latter).
I've never come across what is, essentially, such a comprehensive collection of design notes before.
Which is pretty much what this is, with Philip Sabin providing rationale for any of the rules used in his game (or 'model', as he calls it).

I love the Animal Crossing games because for me they are a lot of fun. I really enjoyed Animal Crossing: New Leaf, but I didn't like some of the time constraints that were involved. Plus that Tom Nook really has a racket running the town. I was pretty excited for Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer the more I read about it. Then I started playing it and I absolutely loved it because there are no time constraints and it's so much fun to play. In the game you are an employee of Nook's Homes and design homes for the various animal villagers based on their interests and suggestions. You can also decide where to place a client's home when the map pops up. A mountain home, a beach house, or a desert oasis are just some of the choices. You don't just design homes however. You can also design a variety of buildings for the town such as restaurants, shops, and a school. Dragging and dropping items is a nice change from the pushing and pulling items to move them. This also makes it easier to fix mistakes or undo something. It's also easier to customize colors and patterns and as you progress you can unlock even more items for your designs.
Oh, a cute little cafe design!
You can also decorate the outside of a client's house, choosing a variety of roof colors, house colors, and items for their yard like gardens and swings. You can also revisit clients and do things like a house upgrade or even redecorate their home for them. Another cool thing is the Happy Home Network. You can upload any house or building you've designed and you can visit other people's homes and rate them. You can take pictures of your designs and post them to social media as well showing off your creative skills which is pretty neat too.
You can design an awesome yard for your clients.
There are also themed contests via the Happy Home network such as a candy house or a Halloween house. There are also Amiibo cards which look like Pokemon trading cards and they work exactly the same way that the Amiibo figures do without all that extra bulk. The Amiibo cards work exclusively with the New 3DS and New 3DS XL. If you want to use them with the old 3DS, 3DS XL, and 2DS you can use the NFC Reader/Writer accessory.
After you've designed a couple of homes, you'll get the whole introduction to the Amiibo cards and how to use them as well as having an Amiibo phone in the Nook's Homes office. You'll be prompted to use an Amiibo card and when you do you'll be sent to the client's home where you can design to your heart's content. Each Amiibo card has different characters that you can design for. Another cool feature with these is if you have friends who have Amiibo cards, you can share furniture simply by visiting a client by tapping the Amiibo card to your friend's screen and if you do it twice the character will remember all their furniture. It's a fun way to socialize and get more items for your designs.
A forest of books!
I do wish you had your own house to decorate as all the designing only happens in town or in a client's home. That's not a big deal though because you can design the buildings any way you want and I put a lot of my own personal touches in things like the school and a concert hall. There's also lots to choose from with the designs and items making for a unique and entertaining experience. This is all about creativity and just having a good time with it. I'm still playing the game, trying out all these different things as well as checking out other people's awesome designs. Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer overall is a great game full of endless fun.
