    Movie

    Three people from different walks of life find themselves trapped inside a stalled elevator. What at...

[After The Darkness Omnibus:Episodes 1-6] by [SunHi Mistwalker] is set in a dystopian world where it is always winter. There are some people of privilege who live fairly comfortably but that can be taken away from you for saying anything bad about the government. Those people are often killed or turned into mindless puppets to serve the higher classes. The story follows the entwining lives of one young girl and the "hunter" with a conscience who capture her and her young sister. The way they fight for life and what is right changes throughout the story. This was an enjoyable read with interesting setting and characters.

I have never laughed so hard at a simple card game. It is very similar to Cards Against Humanity, however in this game, you are playing to make the perfect punchline to a 3-frame comic strip. We played with four people and in about 2 hours, we played through all the cards available. I can see how playing with more people would make the game faster and also a bit repetitive. I'm sure with expansions, there will be more cards to play, however at this time, I'm not sure there is a lot of "re-playableness". Once you see the cards and how they interact, they lose their humor.

Vivid characters
A fantasy world with a mix of its own mythology and steampunk science.
Beautifully written. Poignant, flawed but full of hope and wonder.
I really enjoyed this book. Its different but beautifully written. The characters are flawed but they all have a part to play that makes you want to keep reading. The author created an interesting world of mythology, ancient wondrous, unreachable lost cities. Magic and science co exist in a steampunk like culture, but also highlights the social and personal struggles of the people who live in it. Apathy, addiction, corruption, revolution and hope. Some people say it's slow, just keep reading, its worth it.

This is why you should always look for alternative exists at clubs, theaters, concert venues, bars, stores, etc. This place was engulfed in 5 minutes and 100 people died, many more were injured.


This video is in real time.

If there is ever a need to evacuate a building, whether due to fire, natural disaster, terrorist attack, stampede, etc., you need to know how to get out safely and quickly.

Most people head for the main doors at the entrance of the building. That area can bottleneck and you can get crushed or trapped in the doorway and never reach safety.

Everybody, stay safe and get out alive.

Maybe this book works for people who are interested in the Victorian era and are easily pleased by drab events happening to drab people on a drab landscape. For me, this book was beyond ridiculous!

Heath was the only character I liked, the one I wasn't supposed to like. He was the only character who had any redeeming features and who I actually had some feelings for. Cathy is just an over-the-top fruit loop with a stick up... well, where the sun don't shine. Yeah she didn't have the best upbringing or the best family but she didn't need to become so self righteous.

Dull, dull and dull.
