A dark novel of love and revenge from the 1950's
An easy read that has you smiling one minute and frowning the next. Capturing the small town mentality from that era. Many personalities, a lot that would not easily nbe accepted. The child who is shunned and sent away has returned to ger her revenge on a vengeful town.

I like this game, but I feel like it depends on what roles you have when you are playing. There always seems to be a lot of "get all these things to one person so they can cure everything" and it is really mostly one person doing the work. As a cooperative game, I think this falls a little short in this respect.

Our favorite co-op board game! It's everyone versus the disease. What helps, too, is that the difficulty and characters can be changed to create a unique experience every game. Although I have not yet tested this game with children, every adult I've played with loves it!

Moderate cooperative game, providing great opportunities for each player to have a hero moment each game.

Soooo cringey!
I mean the show is hilarious and I like it be how light hearted it is. Rebecca is basically a stalker, but by telling it from her point of view it's so comical. I love that it's so musical, I probably wouldn't watch it otherwise. It makes me cringe a lot, but I can't not watch.

I'm not a huge gamer but know enough to have been able to follow this. I went in really not knowing what to expect and was pleasantly surprised! This was an intense movie with a lot of 80s and (obviously) video game references, likable characters, and a nice blend of animation/CGI and real life. Now I've got to get the book!

Maybe think about creating a section for trivia. Could do a lot with this. It would be fun if I could create a list or a question and then hide the answer similar to the way you hide spoilers in your review. That way you could answer without everyone else seeing it.

Could do contests and all sorts of stuff.

Soooo good!
This show! I read that a lot of the US medical professionals are up in arms over it because of the way the show looks at profit vs care. I absolutely love it. I love the character development, the storylines, the subplots.

The series finale had me on the edge of my seat. I cannot wait for season 2!

Will she, won’t she, who cares
I’ve read a lot of dystopian society and this one didn’t do it for me. Granted, I read it a while ago, but it’s always stuck with me as a flop for the genre. The world isn’t compelling and the main conflict is which boy do I want to be with: mystery or certainty.

Good morning Smashbomb peeps!
If someone comments on a video you get a notification. When you click it, all it does is play the video and you still have to scroll or go to the page to see the comment. Sometimes that's a lot of scrolling depending on how old it is. It would be nice to go right to the comment.

Good rauchy comedy, with some decent action and a lot of gore.
We went to dinner afterwards and spent 20 minutes quoting lines back that we thought were very funny. If you liked the first one this is more of the same.

Any chance of a fix to the image rotation issue? Whenever I upload a portrait orientated photo from my phone to the app, it always rotates it 90 degrees so it's not the right way round.

Even editing the orientation in my phone gallery before uploading doesn't help. And I know this happens with a lot of images that others post too.
