The first at something isn't usually the best at it.

There are much better versions out there now. This was the first of it's kind, he invented the genre, and it's a great genre. But I would bet if he attempted this again he'd change a lot of things. The theme is barely there, as far as deck builders go, I much prefer Lewis and Clark which has an amazing theme and multi use cards which is amazing as well. Clank is also a much better version. My wife likes this game much better than I do.

Aww. But this is my favorite! Maybe it' a sense of nostalgia for me? It was the first deck builder I played.

Terrible ending

So this started out interesting, and had it's funny points. Some parts got fairly slow by the middle of the film, but it was still entertaining. However, the last 30 -45 minutes were pretty bad. The ending was horrible- it just stops, like the main part of the ending was left on the cutting room floor, or the writers just gave up on trying. I would recommend watching it just to entertain the idea of downsizing. It made for a good thought provoking conversation afterwards.

Not worth watching

This film had a lot of promise looking at the synopsis but it really was one of the worst films i have seen for a long time. The convoluted plot did not add to any excitement. No empathy could be felt for anyone because you never know what has happened or to be honest care. It trundles along and t was only on just over 75 minutes and to be honest this was an hour too long. Sorry but this film was bad, really bad

Not the best memoir I've read

This is a memoir about the author growing up in a working class family in Glasgow. I read this as part of my dissertation on memoir but was deeply disappointed. The childhood language and the adult language are disjointed, the transitions from the adult self and the child self are awkward and the story (for me) was flat. That's not to say its a terrible book. Some of the memories are sweet, vivid and well put together.

Mothergamer (1652 KP) rated Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 in Video Games

I have a hard time playing FPS games, but I took a lot of breaks so I was able to play this game at my own pace. The story is good and I found it interesting. I feel like the game missed out however on not having a campaign. The zombie aspect was cool, but it wasn't anything groundbreaking. If you are big into COD games, you'll enjoy it. It's not a terrible game and I did enjoy playing it for what it was, but I feel there's other games out there that offer a little more.
