Weird gameplay aspects like riding rockets across the map
Still kind of Beta
Fun 100 player survival game
This is a very fun title with a good selection of game types and random ones appearing every other week as special modes.
The game is still kind of in its beta phase as the single player side of the game may only just have been released or still be on the way.
There are other games like this but with the rapid defence building and crazy gameplay this does stand out on its own.
I have not played the single player side of the game but will buy it soon and possibly update this review at that time.

My Precious Gem
This is Adam Sandler's best performace of his whole career, thats saying alot because personally i dont like him as a actor and hate his comedy, but i like his drama roles because their are so different from his comedy roles. His drama roles are not with his best friends and just not taking a anethor vaction/road trip.

The Plot: A charismatic jeweler makes a high-stakes bet that could lead to the windfall of a lifetime. In a precarious high-wire act, he must balance business, family and adversaries on all sides in pursuit of the ultimate win.

The whole cast in this movie are excellent and fantasic and outstanding.

A must watch if you havent seen it yet.

Good book. It was a little hard to follow at first, but once I got into it I did enjoy it. The main character (Colleen) is very much like a lot of people. We all want to be different, always looking for the next adventure, never quite satisfied with life the way it is and God uses that quality in us to put us in the path of being able to minister to other people. Just like Colleen is able to do to Grace ( the secondary character). I liked this story and would reccomennded reading it. It will most definitely not be my last by this author.

I was given this book for free. The opinions expressed within the review are my own.

As somebody who is currently alive and breathing, take this with a grain of salt but: I think this may be the closest thing we have to know what dying feels like. Full-tilt, three hour nonstop mindfuck that features the single scariest piece of horror movie imagery I've ever seen. Went through shades of loving, hating, and being indifferent towards this but ultimately fell head over heels and appreciated everything altogether in retrospect - just needed to experience the whole thing first. Dern is beyond fabulous, only Lynch is capable of cooking up something *this* fully committed to scrambling one's brain. But most importantly of all, it didn't drag for a second. What being way too high feels like without actually being high.
  
True Blood  - Season 4
True Blood - Season 4
2011 | Sci-Fi
This is one of my favorite seasons of True Blood. At the end of season three, Sookie disappears, and think she's only gone for a few minutes, but it's been months.
I mostly like this season because there's a ton of Alexander SkarsgÄrd. I like the addition of witches too, Jesus is one of my favorite characters. I love witchiness, so it was perfect for me.
Of course, as with other seasons, there's something about Sookie that every dude can't ignore, and it really doesn't make sense, but you just pretend it does. The cliffhanger at the end of the season shows what's to come, and honestly, I didn't watch beyond the fourth season for my True Blood re-watch event.

This has left me wanting so much more. And I really want Tarrick to be lying about not caring for Matthew. You can't make me want them to be a couple and then break my heart like that. I mean, I know Tarrick was a bit of an arse in how he treated Matthew but come on..?!

I have to agree with some other reviewers about having M/F sex scenes when I thought this was going to be M/M. I don't really like it happening but I didn't mind it too much.

I also can't wait to read more of this series and might have to splash out on book two just to see what happens next.

Keeps you guessing
Brilliant cast
Not your usual storyline
Absolutely brilliant, could not recommend more!
I find with a lot of shows that it's easy to predict what the story is leading up to, but not with this one. It is unlike any other series I have watched and keeps you on your toes. Multiple times I thought I'd figured out where it was going but OH NO, another twist gets thrown in.

I cannot wait for the next series after the cliff hanger series 1 ended on. I'm sure it will be just as thought provoking and exciting as the first.

(If you like to read, I think people who like Manifest would enjoy reading 'The Three' by Sarah Lotz)

Animal Planet: Animal Bite, Baby Animals by Dorothea Deprisco, Animal Planet is a book about various animal species family life. It talks about live and egg birth, how long babies stay with their parents, what they eat, where they live, how they travel and more.

The photos in this book are vibrant. They are close that you feel as if you can touch the animals.

There are some special sections on that side of the page that that include cool animal facts, simple infographics, and illustrated maps of the Earth and the habitats as well as the short bits on "All Grown Up". The special sections will invite discussion and further investigation. They even have bits on "Just like Humans" where they show how human families interact in some of the various topics.

On the top of the page there are activities, further resources and an extensive Glossary.
