The Chase is on...
Hackers.

They sound both cool and scary.

When most people think of a 'hacker' they think of someone in a dark room filled with old pizza boxes, totally focused on their computer screen, tapping away frenetically.

In this book, that is exactly what a hacker is!

I was not a fan of this docu-series based on the pizza bombing in PA. It wasn't engaging, and it was pretty boring. I didn't feel any sympathy for any of the characters, and the back and forth was irritating to me. Was the victim a victim, or part of the whole thing? Honestly, I didn't care, and I found it hard to watch until the end.

Evil genius? Yeah...ok.

"The second one is Bicycle Thieves, by De Sica. That was the most moving film I’ve ever seen. The scene in there where the dad has lost his bicycle and he takes his kid out for a pizza in 1948 Rome, and the kid is eating it but he’s not ’cause he can’t afford to pay for it, is one of the all-time most moving scenes I’ve ever seen in a cinema. It’s an amazing film."

A slice of romantic heaven. (Cheesy line necessary). This book is nothing like I expected, combining hockey, pizza and an old enemies to lovers type of romance. For me the most intriguing part was the tension between the main character and her parents. The idea of following in their footsteps just because it's a family tradition was relatable. It helps those trying to make their own way feel like it is possible.
A great read for those who love romance, hockey, and finding yourself through unexpected means.

One of those movies I watched many times as a teen!
A guilty pleasure, I cannot lie. If I watch this movie today for the first time ever, I wouldn't rate it this high. It's a bit cringy, let's be fair.
But I watched it many years ago, I re-watched it so many times that I know most of the lines, and even know the easter eggs, and I will definitely enjoy watching it on a random Friday night whilst eating pizza - so there you have it - my honest review!

This was a little like an after story; a continuation of Kou and Yoshioka but also showing the relationship between two other characters that had been a long time coming--I wish I could remember how to spell their names!

There were also two other chapters in here: one showing a pizza sharing scene between Kou and Yoshioka and one that showed Kou when he was younger during/after the divorce when he moved to Nagasaki.

Nice ending to the series. Recommend to people who like romances and comics/manga.

Super mario blows
Contains spoilers, click to show
Super Marios Bros- begins the trend of movies based off of video games. What a start. This film is not even close the game. Mario last name is mario, what? Mario is luigi's father but also his brother? What? Instead of peach, its daisy why? Bowser favorite food is pizza. Goombas look like shit. Toad is not toad. A great cast, wasted on this shit. All of the actors who were in the film, hate the film. Lots of injuries on the set. Super mario Bros. More like super shit bros. Also daisy's father is a alien???

Mario's last name is actually Mario. That's the ONLY thing that film got right

"New York is where I go in my head a lot when I’m writing. I have deep imprints of the city in my backbone: sounds, smells, music, pizza parlors, Chelsea Hotel, TV, fire hydrants oozing, the Lower East Side, people everywhere living their lives inside-out, on top, and through each other… maybe there is something even more in the memories old New York in the ‘70s—unpolished, unclean, lived in. It’s all there in this coming of age story of a young Puerto Rican boy/man. I feel this story all around in my memory bank."

Adorable design
A Fun Fast Game
PuPaiPo Space Deluxe is a fun, fast paced game in which you battle wave after wave of enemies, shooting and dodging in order to survive and continue to the next stage. Each stage has it's own unique design which come with their own unique looking NPC's for you to dodge and shoot.

From developers BolHut, who also made the challenging yet entertaining game 'You Died But A Necromancer Revived You', have brought their adorable sprites to Nintendo Switch once again with their remastered deluxe edition of their very first game PuPaiPo Space.

You have a choice of characters to play as such as a rocket man, a pink octopus, a wooden character and a star man (not their official names), and with the choice to gather your friends and all play at once, you can enjoy a challenging battle to find the legendary space pizza. So gather your friends for a fun head to head co-op and see who can get the highest score and reach the pizza first, or play solo and take every slice for yourself!

The bosses of this game are challenging and fun to battle, as each loss is a learning curve in order for the player to learn each bosses move set, so that the next time you face them you can beat them with ease. Each sprite whether it's a common NPC, a boss, or the player themselves, has it's own unique personality that makes each design stand out from one another on screen, meaning you shouldn't get lost whilst flying around the armada of bullets and rockets fired.

The backgrounds for each stage give every level it's own personality as well, as each one comes with it's own types of enemies from fish in the deep water levels, to the fiery asteroids and bombs of the space levels. This keeps the game play interesting as there isn't much you can do with a shoot and dodge game, so each stage has to feel fresh and BolHut have managed to do just that with their retro art style and unique designs.

Among the battlefield, you'll also come across a variety of cool little power-ups that will aid you in your quest for the space pizza, from bigger bullets, to faster bullets, to a simple shield that helps add a little extra life to your character as you do your best to dodge the incoming dangers.

Overall the game is a fun and fast paced experience that you can either jump into to kill some time, or set up for a group of friends and challenge one another to see who can reach the pizza. It looks amazing on the switch and the sprites are adorable and unique to BolHut's style. I hope this company continues to bring more games out onto the Nintendo Switch because their designs and game play are always challenging and unique, which allows them to stand out among the ever growing library of indie games on the market.

PuPaiPo Space Deluxe is available on PC and will be available on Nintendo Switch on Thursday 23rd January 2020, but is available to pre-order now at a discounted price. However, talking of price, the release price of this game is £3.99 and any game that's this fun for under £5 is worth every penny, so go get this game, select which character you like best, give them a name that's better than any of the names I've given them in this review and find that delicious space pizza!
