Suswatibasu (1702 KP) rated Reasons to Stay Alive in Books
Jan 15, 2018
Wonderfully honest and refreshing
Very rarely do we see such an honest glimpse of depression, a hideous and insidious condition that affects a large part of the population. However, Matt Haig's self-help book crosses over into the memoir genre, in which he speaks about his journey through the depths of his anxiety.
It is brutal at times, especially when he speaks about contemplating suicide, but it is ultimately hopeful. Although not everything will resonate with everyone, the main factors are similar across the board, and it allows you to gain insight into other's experiences of the illness. A surprisingly good read.

The characters they chose
Nipple batsuit need I say more (1 more)
The acting was so overboard.
Fun and awful at the same time
I don't care what anyone says I've always enjoyed this one no matter how cheesy and terrible it was I loved all the actors in it hand while the nipple batsuit was a terrible decision all across the board. There will always be something about this movie that I just enjoyed and I still enjoy to this day.
While they had a great cast the whole movie is so terribly overacted I have no clue what anyone was thinking.

At this point, my daughter is still too young to actually read. I've been using this book more to get her in the habit of handling books than I have as an actual learning tool.
The pages are sturdier than the other board books she's gotten, so she can actually flip from one page to another on her own, and the pages don't dissolve when she chews on them. Bonus points for that!
I can see that this book would work nicely as a baby dictionary, to teach children to associate words with pictures of everyday things - from colors, to clothes, to animals.

2 points for plastic dinosaurs.... the rest is useless.
Use the pieces to to come up with your own board game, it would be better than the rules provided anyway. This is your classic (boring and uninteresting) roll and move, but it takes 5 bites to kill a person? T-Rex is usually a one biter, maybe two at best with a puny human. Or at least it should be. Someone make some good rules and post it here. Any aspiring game designers want to take a crack at this one?

Great Family Fun Game
A brilliant strategy game suitable for people of all ages and abilities. Have played with many people, family and friends with many going on to purchase the game themselves. Easy to set up and the aim of the game is straightforward. A well built game with a sturdy board and strong solid tiles, a game that will survive even the most reckless and be enjoyed for many years.

Entertainment Editor (1988 KP) rated Twilight Struggle in Tabletop Games
Mar 7, 2018
The Struggle Is Real
Generally when someone in the board game community talks about a “thematic” game, there is a particular archetype they’re referring to–the science fiction or fantasy themed game with minis, elaborate artwork, and the promise of action, narrative, and adventure. Twilight Struggle does not look this kind of game. It’s set in the Cold War, has a functional but not flashy art design, and provides cardboard chits instead of plastic miniatures. However, Twilight Struggle is perhaps the most thematic game ever made.
