Fantastic read, I couldn't put it down. Fast paced, full of adventure, great world building. Well written, great plot and characters. Maggie Trent is fighting and next thing she knows she is in another realm, the Sirens Realm. She meets a nice man Bertrand Wayland and he tells her of the rules in the realm. I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book from Netgalley.

While I enjoyed reading this, it was one of those novels where the main couple butted heads all the time. It was easy and interesting to watch the two fall in love, and I often found myself laughing. The characters were filled with personality and fire, and I always love a romance novel with some drama. Other than the constant fighting, I can find nothing negative to say about this novel.

Lots of fun!
One of my favorite Game Cube games was Star Fox Adventures.

Certainly very Legend of Zelda in style and gameplay with story, fighting and puzzle type quests. Not very much flying like in other Star Fox games. This one focused more on Fox out of his ship conquering quests.

There was enough variety to keep me entertained for several playthoughs.

Movie Rating
A very cheesey action film based on the Street Fighter 2 game. Totally over the top, close to being a comedy, one for fans of the game. Just a pity that such a massive global cult game only has this as a live action movie offering. Very disappointed at the lack of fighting in this. Only the last 20 mins make up for the rest of the film.

"[Brackett] was my teacher. I imitated her, of course. She had those beautiful short stories in Planet Stories about John Stark, they were all Edgar Rice Burroughs par excellence. In other words, she could write better than Burroughs. She took the same sort of things he did: the fighting man of Mars, the gods of Mars, the Martian stories, but gave them that extra ambiance, style, and imagination."

I love this game for so many reasons:

The storyline is pretty engaging.
How they talk to each other in the scenes is crazy--hilarious at times.
Kirzu's attitude and fighting skills.
The fun little side stories.
The strange games included from darts and mah-jong to chatting up girls in the cabaret and online video chat.

This is one of those films where the trailers were better than the end product. Honestly, I barely remember G14, only that the title character doesn't show up until the end. At least Skull Island had some good Kong kicking ass moments and Tom Hiddleston in a tight shirt.
The main characters are uninteresting, basically, we've got Coach, that kid from Stranger Things, and the chick that's a relative of that American Horror Story actress. The movie did not make me care about them at all, I would have been fine with them all biting the dust. There's a little more about Monarch, but seriously, Thomas Middleditch was annoying.
Basically, I was there for Godzilla, and all the other monsters fighting. There wasn't enough of it, as far as I'm concerned. I guess it was worth seeing the action on the big screen. I'm vaguely interested to see Godzilla vs Kong (plz let Toby Kebbell do the mo-cap again).

I was so excited for this game, this franchise is my favourite.
There are only around 4 franchises that i have never missed a midnight launch or a ultimate addition,
But this game breaks logic unlike the others that created a beautiful landscape to tell stories, but this game doesn’t fit.
I’m all about stealth and planning my way through missions, but this game doesnt really let you do that, instead it cares too much about fighting,
I did like the bird, was a different unlogical but different idea that i did enjoy,
For me this is the worst of the franchise and i had to use so much will just to finish the main story so i could say i gave it my best try

I only got shudder so i could binge watch this tv show, at first i was a little weirded out because i had no idea what the hell was going on. reminded me of a cheesy zombie show. Boy was i shocked when it picked up fast as all hell.
I LoVeD how much Waka's character grew, insert sponge bob meme. ( the ending ripped my heart and i swear if i could reach into my tv to sack waka i totally would have)
The fighting was incredible and i loved how much detail was put into the show. Im so excited for the next season.
one thing i have to rage about is why the fuck did they not hook up. you CAN clearly see the sexual tension between them but nooo.
AND THAT ENDING, HOW DARE HE.
okay rant over
