Fred (860 KP) rated What Remains Of Edith Finch in Video Games
May 11, 2019
Walking simulator worth playing
Been waiting a long time for this game to be cheap enough so I'd get to see it. And this month, it's free for Playstation Plus subscribers. Well, I'm happy I got to play it because it's one of those games that really touches you. Gets inside you & leaves you feeling blue, happy, mad, hurt & thinking about life itself. The game puts you in the body of Edie Jr. of the Finch family, returning to her family's home, where she grew up. She wanders around, finding diaries of her family & reading them. While she reads them, you get to play their stories, finding how each of them dies. Most of them, not so peacefully,
The game is short. Only 2 hours or maybe 3, if you take your time looking around at the beautifully rendered world, which I did. The story is well written. Each member's story can hit you differently. The hardest one is where you play as an infant. I won't spoil it, but when it ended, the sound of a frog came through my controller. It was like getting kicked in the chest.
My only complaints are the short game time & the slow speed of your walking.
I highly recommend this game & if you're a PS:Plus subscriber, you'd be crazy not to try it now.

Very little happens (1 more)
What does happen is anything but scary
Terrible
It's not very often that I consider walking out of a movie. It's only happened on a handful of occasions and I usually try and stick it out, just in case I miss some huge U-turn which turns the movie from a 2 out of 10 to an 8 or a 9. The Witch was a movie I found myself hating early on. I stuck with it, hoping for that U-turn, but it never came. What people saw in this I'll never understand. But then I liked 'Blair Witch', so maybe it's me!
Suswatibasu (1703 KP) rated Rendezvous with Rama - Rama Book 1 in Books
Sep 14, 2017
A little bland and clinical, more for hardcore sci-fi fans
I struggled with this book, mainly for its mechanical nature and rather bland storyline. For hard-core fans of 2001: Space Odyssey, this may be more of an interest given it's the same writer, but for a sci-fi rookie, it was like reading an engineering manual as they clinically detail the climate and condition of this astral being named Rama. And not much else happens apart from them walking across this horizon. It may require reading the entire series of books to see the full picture, but as a stand-alone book, it doesn't seem to work.

Contains spoilers, click to show
A very feel good movie about an octogenarian widow who was in an unhappy marriage wants to fulfill a long desire to climb a Scottish mountain, so off she goes. It was filmed on the side of the mountain and the surrounding areas and the scenery is fantastic, no doubt tourism will go up in this area. Sheila Hancock plays the widow and a big round of applause to her for actually walking up the mountain. She start off being a (excuse the language) a crappy old cow but you just fall in love with her at the end. Everyone should go watch it.

Shows pace and where you are going
Keeping Track
A good little app for using if you are needing to keep track of walking/running/cycling as it monitors where you are going, the pace and the time and also the elevation if you have gone up or down a hill.
Really impressed with this app as it is easy to use and doesn't use up all of your battery when on the move. It keeps track of all your activity through out the month so you can then use this to motivate you to doing better than the month before.
