Pandemic Legacy: Season 2 Review

Everyone wants to make a legacy game these days. After the wild success of Pandemic Legacy: Season 1, there seemed to be an explosion in campaign style games where the rules and mechanisms are changed as the game progresses.

Thus far, nothing has really been able to capture the magic of both engaging gameplay and story that Pandemic Legacy gave us. But now Season 2 is here, flipping the game on its head a bit, but promising to give us a similar experience. So, how does it stack up?

Original Rating: 5/5

Satire

I Slept On The Horse

If you love fantasy/medieval stories, musicals, and satire then you need to see Galavant. For those who like authors like Terry Pratchett, I recommend this show whole-heartedly (can we also just appreciate our leading lady was in Color of Magic STP fans?). It's got some really great moments and amazingly fun cameos. Do yourself a favor and at least make it into episode two with John Stamos, (from which you'll understand the title).

In short, if you like to have fun you are going to love this show. It's about the only musical I can sit through and I hum songs from it/rewatch them constantly.

Dean (6927 KP) rated Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1 (2010) in Movies

Mar 9, 2018

A good film, well made and with good actors. I've not read the books to be honest but have seen all the films. This one does really feel like half a film....all slow pace, moody and brooding for what is too come in the finale. It is dark and menacing and a lot more grown up than the other films, some will prefer this others won't. For me this was just average, I prefer the action, Hogwarts, the humour and creatures of the other films. This is largely the 3 main characters on the run and hiding with very little action. Let's hope the final film doesn't lose the Potter magic!

Sweeping Saga

Contains spoilers, click to show

This is the first book of a sweeping saga that catches the reader and holds them to the very end. You will find it hard to put this book down. I won't lie, it's a slow read at the beginning while Carey builds the world upon the books are based, but it soon captures you into this world. You find yourself holding your breath waiting to see what happens next. How one girl can go on to save a nation in peril and the loves and losses she suffers along the way. Carey builds this fantastic world full of intrigue and a bit of magic from the gods. A must read.

It's one of a kind

It has some seriously catchy music

Not enough people have seen this!

Not many people I know have seen this so I tell everyone to give it a go.
A kids film, completely off the radar, as it's not branded (not pixar or disney etc) it's a German, Danish and Irish creation, about 3 children that take get into all sorts of problems. It bombed at the box office but it definitely didn't deserve the bad press, it's about family, loyalty, the importance of intelligence and a hint of magic.
It has funny, scary (for young kids anyway) , tense, lovable scenes that everyone can enjoy.
