Secret World Legends is re-released and is free to play. It has been simplified. The combat is streamlined. The story lines and acting is still engaging. A player can advance in level with a minimum of grinding and most quests are appropriate for solo players. Funcom has just released a end game raid for New York. They have been committed to releasing new material.

Haley Mathiot (9 KP) rated The Elemental Journal: Composing Artful Expressions from Items Cast Aside in Books
Apr 27, 2018
The Elemental Journal was really interesting. The journals were pretty advanced, and even though the instructions were clear they would have required a lot of materials. I would use this book for inspiration more than step by step instructions. This book would be great for any crafter who saves everything and sees potential in random pieces of "trash" like tree bark, scraps of fabric, wire, old plastic game pieces, door knobs, etc.
Mind you I loved it: it was wild and cool and exciting: it's just slightly more advanced and a little intimidating. Recommended for experienced crafters.

An extremely amazing film with an ending they tell you is gonna happen from the beginning, yet you don't believe it. Characters that get the most development are Thor, Vision, Scarlett Witch, Doctor Strange, Gamorra, Thanos, and the Hulk, which, when you think about it, is still quite a lot.
The ending makes you really feel like something has changed in the world. The acting is great. The special effects are really good. This is the first time I have ever noticed the score in a Marvel film. Go see it as soon as possible in theaters. This is an actual cultural event.

Unoriginal
I'd heard a lot of good things about this film, but sadly it didn't live up to expectations.
Its very much a case of having seen this type of film before many times, and done better. This is just your average run of the mill boxing film that follows a similar story to those that have come before it. Jake Gyllenhaal puts in a good performance but I think him and the rest of the cast are vastly underused. The film itself is very predictable and seems to be lacking in any sort of emotion. Its watchable, but sadly instantly forgettable.

Interesting but a little too ambiguous
This is a strange film. For the most part it’s a very interesting gothic drama, and creates a lot of intrigue as you try to figure out what’s going on. Sam Claflin and Rachel Weisz do very well, but I found the film and the goings on a little too ambiguous. The ending left me a little unsatisfied and it wasn’t exactly unpredictable either. For me, the most frustrating thing was how quickly he fell for Rachel’s charms. Literally within minutes of her arriving he seemed to lose all of his prior hostility - not exactly realistic.

Amazon Kindle for PC
Easy to use and very customizable, I love my Kindle for PC. I have had it for about thirteen years. Each time I have to buy a new computer because my old one died, I download my Kindle off of my Amazon account right away. My books are in the cloud, and I have safely downloaded them to my new computer with no problems.
Lori Forrest (0 KP) rated Netflix in Apps

Netflix is, of course, a dominant force in entertainment. The original series and movies are awesome. It's great to be able to binge my favorite shows like Friends, and they are uploading shows as soon as they end on air quicker and quicker. The only real downfall is that they don't have agreements with several networks still, so a lot of shows that I love aren't available. I would love to completely cancel cable and every other subscription I have, but I can't until things like Modern Family and Food Network's best can be seen on Netflix.

While the book had a good plot and kept you guessing as to who done it, I found the chapters a bit choppy. There didn't seem to be a transition from one scene to another, which made me have to re-read sections to see if I missed a page somewhere. There were also a lot of characters to try to follow and no real introduction to them. This is the first book in the series and I am told that they get better, so I am willing to read the second in the series as the first one wasn't totally bad.
Jessica Cashen (1 KP) rated The Girl and the Grove in Books

I think this book has a little bit for everyone. The main character Leila has a whole lot going on. She has grown up moving from foster home to foster home. She has just been adopted, which she is struggling with. She has one of the more common forms of depression, seasonal affective disorder. She hears voices in her head calling out for help. Mixed in with her troubles is her love for the environment. Overall it is a well written book, and I enjoyed reading it. I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book from NetGalley.
