Mothergamer (1574 KP) rated Soul Calibur VI in Video Games
Apr 8, 2019
I am a big fan of the Soul Calibur series. Soul Calibur VI is fantastic. There is a great story mode where you can play as the different characters and see their origin story. There is also a mode where you can create your own character and do various quests to move the story along. Arcade mode is in the game too of course so you can play matches with your friends. The game controls are excellent and the graphics for the game look fantastic. The voice acting and music for the game are great also. Soul Calibur VI is a lot of fun to play and very well done.

I'm very much enjoying how Sweterlitsch combines Sci-Fi and mystery in very engaging thought provoking ways. I've read, watched, and consumed a lot of time travel stories. There are tons of bad ones, but this is an excellent take and surprisingly takes care of a few plot hole problems inherent in time travel stories. As someone who has been trying to write a time travel story for over 8 years, I really appreciate good stories that help to revive my passion for the genre.
I'm really excited to find out what they do with the movie adaptation, and I'm really enjoying Sweterlitsch's work. I look forward to his future projects.

Marvel strikes again!
Contains spoilers, click to show
Don't get me wrong, I am not the biggest Marvel fan in the family (step forward, my daughter), but I really enjoyed this story, which was strong and involving. Usual great action scenes and funny bits to keep you entertained, I am seriously considering a DVD purchase when the time comes. Only gripe is the excellent soundtrack does not seem to be available with all the great 90s tracks - and the orchestral soundtrack is only on MP3? How am I meant to play that in the car??

I cried!
Carrie was a lovely person, a wonderful writer, and the honesty and courage with which she tells this story are commendable! It’s hilarious and self-deprecating humor are both refreshing and depressing. I couldn’t help but feel for her. She will be missed on screen and off. Her willingness to speak so loudly and often about her mental health struggles did SO much for others with similar issues and she rarely is credited for those advancements her frankness gave to the field of mental health study. A haunting read so close to her death.

I am a completest with this podcast. I have listened through all of the available episodes twice. Even the original shows, though they had not nailed down the format yet, were excellent.
There is something about the connection between Walt, Bry and BQ that is unmistakably good and makes for great podcasting. Also, I don't know who I enjoy hearing going off on a rant more. Add to the connection the games, the contests and the side-hustle and you have a show that makes me laugh every time.

That comb-over!
Great cast does a great job with this interesting story of two decent con artists recruited by the FBI to take down even bigger corrupt individuals and the mob.
The script and acting are both excellent and really engage you in the story and get quickly invested in their lives. The 70s fashion and music are also two more interesting characters in the film.
When you look at Christian Bale (who gained 40 pounds for this role), it's hard to believe he's the same actor who played Batman and was in The Machinist where he was skin and bones.
Highly recommended.

Recycled Science by Tammy Enz and Jodi Lyn Wheeler-Toppen is a book about recycling. The book aims to reuse common household items to become useful items such as lava lamps, flashlights and speakers. The book is filled with excellent pictures during the different stages of the experiment.
This book contains some interesting science projects. The book is geared toward upper elementary or middle school students; however, it is important that the projects are completed with adult supervision because of the potentially dangerous items required. These projects should be completed at home or outside as they would not work in a traditional classroom environment.

A Wild & Fun Adventure For The Whole Family!
This a very creative adaptation of the Jumanji series. This time around, the characters are transported inside the game. The writers did an excellent job of portraying the film as though the characters were actually in a video game universe.
The film is packed full of humor. Especially Jack Black's portrayal of a modern teenage girl trapped in the body of a middle-aged man. There are even some jokes designed for the older audience to get a chuckle, making it not only a good film for the family, but fun for adults as well.

Nothing cruel about this excellent book.
I don't have much bad to say but i have read much of Holly Blacks work and very much enjoy how and what she writes. The Cruel Prince is nothing cruel at all it's a quite fantastical and adventurous read.I can't wait to see how it will all pan out in the next book.
