Dark, gritty, realistic
A great mini series centred around the opium trafficking that originated from Pakistan. Various characters including business men and politicians become embroiled in a very complicated and convoluted plot that seeks to stop to stem the flow of opium being trafficked.

I am seriously in love with these books. They AREN'T supposed to be word for word movie adaptations of the movies .those already exist in various forms mind you. These are special, delightful dark takes on Disney, not unlike the Twisted Tales I only wish they would number the spines.

It wants to be the very best, like no video game movie ever was. To watch it is the real test, to review it is my cause! Pokémon Detective Pikachu (2019) #Review
The story is decent enough and although its main twists and turns are predictable enough, it still has a surprise or two up its sleeve and the whole thing is just a bundle of fun. The real delight, of course, is in spotting all your favourite Pokémon in the background, populating the neon-drenched yet conspicuously London-like streets of Ryme City and there’s plenty of humour mined from the various quirks and abilities of various Pokémon....

Can get clogged up and reduce action potential
Scoring can be weird
Kami-sama is an adorable area-control game all about putting shrines down in certain patterns to score. Each player has a spirit with various Powers that range from blowing shrines around to flipping a coin to get a special effect. Easy to learn and the various spirits makes every game different. I found this game plays best at 3 as at 2, it requires an automata and at 4 the board can get a little crowded for some spirits. The spirits are mostly balanced, but some definitely feel weaker than others.

Some good action scenes
Cracking Thriller
Finally got around to watching one of the most talked about TV shows of last year. It centres around the Personal Protection Officer to the Home Secretary. The first few episodes were very exciting with some great action scenes. The later episodes concentrating more on investigating various plotlines and conspiracies. It's interesting as we get a look into how the Police, Counter Terrorism and Intelligence services work. It all feels very realistic in terms of how the various teams work for the Home Office. There are plenty of twists and turns, the tension will have you gripped to your seat. Perfect for a short tense series.

Last of the PSOne Final Fantasys
Great story line, multiple hours of game play. The mini-games (Choco Hot or Cold) are actually fun and not to terribly monotonous. Average game play story and various mini-quests and side events can easily top out over 100 hours. Good replay value.

Tons of expansions
This is a great deck building game where the goal is to acquire the most victory points. You build your deck by purchasing various cards, actions, victory points, attacks, monetary cards, and so on. You need to buy victory points to be able to win
