Been playing since Tuesday so far not bad game will be as good as odyssey was for me earlier days yet anyway so far I've explored quite a bit of Norway and the people u meet so hopefully I will reach England part of the game next week. But there's a but after playing the first two hours of the game started getting problems with certain quests were playing up not letting me complete them so I went on Google to find out why what the issue was and there answer was the game had bug issues and I should restart the game which I did which was a pain and had to redo everything I had done up to that point and the problem is no longer there. That was a relief to me I thought I did something wrong. Anyway going to keep playing hope it gets good

Album Favorite

"An almost perfect album. Apart from one mistake – there's a joke song on it. I think jokes should never be on records, they just don't last. The record is such an incredibly serious record, it's one of the most grown-up records ever made in that the things she's talking about and thinking about are such serious and complicated emotional situations. It's one of the only records where I actually care about the lyrics. I really listen to the lyrics and think about what she's trying to say. I've always said that country music is grown-up and she came more out of country than out of pop. Whereas pop is always about the problems of adolescence really, hooking up with someone and whether she really likes you or not, when you get to country music it's about mortgages and divorce and things like that [laughs]. It seems to me to be about real-life, grown-up issues and so seems much more interesting to me lyrically."

Speaking of scripting problems… a fun game to play when watching this Netflix exclusive flop is to count how many lazy, generic lines are said in all the right places. Even better, try pausing it before a character is obviously about to give a pithy reply to someone and guess what they will say. You will be right most of the time. This game is far more fun than actually watching this ploddingly predictable tale, that is a half decent idea ruined at every turn by inept film-making. Any tension is consistently drained by the awful directing and editing, and every time someone speaks my sphincter tightened in embarrassment for the actors. Charlize Theron tries, bless her, but ultimately her earnest expression just makes her look constipated – I guess if you were that old you would be! Almost nothing here to recommend that you can’t find in dozens of other places done far better.

Broken Beasts ( Xoe Meyers book 3)
By Sara C. Roethle


Xoe had hoped that after the events of the last few months, things would finally slow down. No such luck. The werewolves are out for blood, and so are the vampires apparently. Let's not even get started on the problems her own friends are causing. Regardless of the danger, Xoe and her rag-tag entourage are in Moab, facing the werewolf coalition. Their final ruling will change Xoe's fate, and the fate of her friends forever.

Here's hoping that's a good thing.
I got the first 3 books in a set and I have to say I’ve really enjoyed them! They are the new Scooby gang a mismatch of supernatural friends! This one was a bit of a slow burner but still kept the story going! I’m looking forward to more demon action as you don’t get it as much as the usual vampire and werewolves! A good start to a decent series!

THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE tells a fast-paced story about what it is like to be born special, even amongst the different. Kassia had problems keeping her emotions under control. This is a bad thing because she is able to cause pain, and even death, just by thinking about it. She has her own little support group in her BFF Mira, Noe, Auralee, Zane, and her love, Daxton.

The title of the book sort of gives away the main part of the story, but like most good books, the fun is getting to that part. This IS fast-paced so you need to read it carefully and not skim, otherwise a month has passed and you missed the reference that told you so.

I found this to be a gripping story that engaged my emotions. It was incredibly well-written and I loved every word. This book is concluded nicely with a small teaser that will definitely leave you wanting more. Absolutely recommended by me.

The favorite book of the year so far goes to this one! What a rollercoster that was but I didn't want to get off,I want to know the next years! I love this book, I know I say I love alot of books but this one I think has taken a massive imprint and stamped it across me. It was real,it wasn't just happy happy lovey dovey fall in love no problems. They made mistakes that is what happens in life and although these mistakes and these things that happened made me scream (and I mean scream,and cry and possibly tantrum a little) it felt it wasn't just a fantasy. Her writing kept me hooked,I kept waiting to know what was going to happen next and I still do. I feel a book hangover coming on I am just not done,even if there are no more pages!
