Are you a Watcher or Player?

A cool, fun, sexy and visually slick thriller. I hadn't heard much about this before seeing it but found it very enjoyable. It's a new spin on the truth or dare game, this time with the Internet community choosing to be a Watcher or Player. People film themselves doing a few dares as watchers pay them to complete the dare. Soon though the dares escalate and become very dangerous.
I like the visual style of the film, bathed in neon light a lot of the time, which makes it feel more like a game. Also makes a slight point about how people behave online compared to real life. Overall not that original but still an entertaining film nevertheless.

Star Realms Review

As a seasoned, dedicated Magic: The Gathering player, Star Realms really hits a home run for me. It’s certainly not Magic, not in terms of complexity, cost, design, or artwork. But the feeling of direct combat, me versus you, to see who wins is something that hasn’t existed in a deck builder before. It scratches a competitive itch that I’ve always had in a very similar way to Magic, and a way that other games fail to do. While everyone, myself included, draws the obvious comparison to CCGs, there is a lot to love here for most gamers, regardless if you’ve played CCGs before or not. Star Realms is a great two player deck builder.

After one random hook up at the wedding of Mia's sister and Matt's brother, two years later Mia can't help but still want him. A well known player, Matt had never been into the "dating" thing yet something about Mia has him unable to stay away.. and once he's had her... there is no going back. Mia attempts to play the player and let their secret affair continue.. but can she trust him? How do you trust a man who is known to only spend one night and move on? These two are adorable together and hot as hell. The book was funny, moving and brought me to tears. A close-knit family that would do anything for one another, characters that you have to love and a fabulous storyline. Highly recommended - another incredible read!
