Entertainment Editor (1988 KP) rated Russian Railroads in Tabletop Games
Mar 7, 2018
Russian Railroads
Russian Railroads is the train duo’s first major foray into the world of European game design. Set in Imperialist Russia at the end of the 19th century, the Tsar has ordained a major project: construction of the Trans-Siberia Railroad. To help usher Russia into the modern world, several lines on this railroad must be constructed. As these railroads progress, improvements are made, new industries arise, and brilliant engineers add their expertise, all helping the railroads to expand at an even greater rate. Russia will not be left out of the industrial revolution that is sweeping the world!

David McK (3194 KP) rated Hellboy, Vol. 1: Seed of Destruction in Books
Jan 28, 2019
The inspiration for the Ron-Perlman led movie(s) of the same name, Hellboy - like the lead character - is sort of a strange mix: in this case, of the occult with the medium of the graphic novel with a very Cthulu-like monster at the end of the tale.
I also have to say that this is proof that Marvel and DC aren't the only two publishers in the world able to produce compelling and enjoyable reads!

GameCritics (290 KP) rated Pillars of Eternity: Complete Edition in Video Games
Oct 3, 2017
Pillars of Eternity is worth looking into for any RPG fan. The game has a great plot and world to explore, and Obsidian has given players enough options to ensure that anyone can see the end of the story, regardless of skill level.

Acanthea Grimscythe (300 KP) rated The Ocean at the End of the Lane in Books
May 16, 2018
The Ocean at the End of the Lane is the first work I’ve read by Neil Gaiman – and I love it. This short novel tells the story of a young boy. He discovers a sort of magic in the world around him that blends in a delightfully haunting way. The real star of this book isn’t the boy though. It’s the Hempstocks.
This piece of fiction is a quick read and harbors elements of fantasy and horror in a world much like our own. The house at the end of the lane is a bit removed from the rest of society and, to a homegrown, country girl like myself, oozes a rural familiarity. This house, being the home of the Hempstocks, is the source of everything surreal in The Ocean at the End of the Lane and through the little boy and his friend Lettie, we see an entirely different side of things. A place where a child learns morals (such as lying, obeying, etc.) in the most horrifying ways.
I found The Ocean at the End of the Lane nearly impossible to put down – in fact, I only paused long enough to shower and take a brief nap. I refused to sleep until I had turned the last page. It’s nice to see several elements of fiction in play, especially with how Gaiman foreshadows and references certain odd incidents that take place in his story. My next Gaiman read will be American Gods, which I received as a gift from Dad.

David McK (3194 KP) rated 2012 (2009) in Movies
Apr 6, 2021
2009.
That's now 12 years ago, and 3 years before the setting of this big-budget disaster movie.
2012 is also when the Aztec calendar 'ended', leading to lots of conspiracy theories and some hysteria around the time that the world would end.
Which is what this movie is about: cue lots of earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis and the obligatory family-reconnecting that is de rigeur for this type of movie!

Vastly open world (2 more)
Lots of crafting
Slaying monsters has never been more fun
Very good fantasy series
I love the book series and I am saddened to see the video game itself come to an end. I nevertheless am planning to fully enjoy this game.
