So I buy WWE games annually, have done for years. Upon on hearing the reviews for this year's game I waited for Black Friday.

I am glad I did, while I enjoy playing this (really ever play universe mode) it is really buggy. The game is not an improvement on previous in a sustained a d meaningful way.

It is fun now there are patches a the roster does make this a good game, if u are a fan of the women's movement in wrestling. As large number of new faces are included this year.

DLC is a joke however, I feel short changed. With the inclusion of WWE originals. I feel that either 2k and visual concepts wanted to make quick buck or hit a wall in development. Yes I got Chyna and Hogan. However the rest of the Originals content seems like an acid. Who needs demonic Finn Balor or wasteland Samoa Joe. I get what they went for. Turning the wacky of wrestling up to 11.

However with no new characters, this just feels lazy. Why not include legends like LOD and Warlord in the wasteland DLC or Boogeyman/ Gangrel in the Bump In The Night.

So overall WWE2K20 is not the worst game I have played. However it has made me question my devotion to the franchise, should it continue

the legend that holds up

I feel like this movie is one of those legends in a lot of ways. So many people love it, I've heard so many great things over the years and I've just never watched it. Not because I haven't been interested, but because I've never actively looked. Who knew it took a worldwide pandemic for me to watch.

I really enjoyed this film. I love Bill Murray - I think he is a phenomenal actor and so funny. I love his character in the movie. At first, he is so easy to hate, it's so clear he's just a bad guy. He's the guy that everyone knows in real life and you're just like, "really? you again?" and you end up feeling exhausted after talking to them because they're just the worst. But as you go through the film, you go through all the emotions and events and frustrations that he's feeling. You see the pain and the devastation, the breaking points, the good things, the bad things, the really crazy things (running into that huge groundhog after that car chase), and you feel it all with him. I don't think there are movies that often that make you feel that and I always love when they do.

I think, overall, the cast is great. I don't have any particular complaints about anyone, but nobody stands out to me as much as Bill because he just nailed it. I definitely think this is a film I'll come back to over and over again.

This is a genuine classic, it's often imitated never duplicated.

So many movies & shows have pinched the idea to create another success.

**BOOK SYNOPSIS**
From Jodi Thomas, New York Times bestselling author of Mornings on Main and Indigo Lake, comes this heartwarming new novel set in Honey Creek, Texas—a small town where family bonds and legends run deep, and friendship and love are always close at hand . . .

Piper Jane Mackenzie, mayor of Honey Creek, won’t let a major scandal rip her quirky hometown apart or jeopardize her dream of one day running for higher office. So she’s willing to welcome undercover detective Colby McBride, hired to help solve the mystery behind her wannabe fiancé’s disappearance. Colby’s cover? That he is an old boyfriend now begging Piper for a second chance—always when there are plenty of townsfolk around to witness his shenanigans.

Piper hardly knows whether to laugh or cry, especially when she finds herself drawn to the handsome rascal. He's not the only newcomer she has to deal with. There’s a new interim preacher in town, Sam Cassidy. Drifting from one assignment to another since his one love died, Sam isn’t sure he’s the right fit for Honey Creek. But as Piper knows, this is a place chock-full of surprises. And if she can keep her town—and her heart—from going completely off the rails, there may be a sweet, unexpected future in store . . .
