Scarlet Nexus
Scarlet Nexus
2020 | Action
The game starts with an interesting premise in the distant future and everyone has brain powers and advanced technology. People have abilities like electrokinesis the ability to control electricity. They can also send messages directly to each other's brains. The story has really cool sci-fi elements in it and you can play as either Kasane or Yuito, the two main protagonists. I went with Kasane and got to see how her story played out. You can do a new game plus playthrough with the other character and you get to see loose ends tied up from their perspective. Combat is fun and the story and characters are great. There's a lot of wild twists and reveals that add to the elements of the storytelling. There are references to global warming and time travel. Scarlet Nexus is really good overall and because it's done so well, it kept me playing until the end.

High Flying Murder
This year, the Destination Murders authors are taking to the air. Yes, we get some murders on planes, but we also have a zipline, hot air balloon, blimp, and a couple of fun ones I’m going to let you discover for yourself. We travel to Costa Rica, Las Vegas, Vermont, and Tennessee in these stories that find murder an unwelcomed traveling companion.

As always with these collections, the author lineup has changed slightly. For the authors who are returning, I look forward to catching up with their sleuths whether I’ve read books with these characters or not. I do have to remind myself these are short stories, so the stories aren’t quite as complex. They’re still fun, overall (one ended abruptly), and I’m glad I took the time to read them. These eight stories combine for the equivalent of a full novel, so you are getting your money’s worth. Pack this for your next vacation, but maybe read it when you are on the ground.

I remember. as a kid, watching 'The Muppet Babies' and even the likes of 'The Muppets Christmas Carol' or 'The Muppets Treasure Island', but I never actually saw the original tv show.

The Muppets Tonight (late 90s, I believe), yes.

The original show?

Slightly before my time.

Anyway, this - unlike Treasure Island or Christmas Carol - is an original plot, following Jason Segal character of Gary and his (muppet) brother Walter, as they travel - alongside Gary's long-term girlfriend Mary (Amy Adams) on their 10th anniversary - to L.A., home of the Muppets, and uncover a conspiracy to purchase and knockdown the old Muppet Theatre so a rich businessman can get to the oil underneath.

Only thing stopping it?

A new Muppet telethon, if Kermit can get the gang back together and raise the funds before midnight.

So a fairly formulaic plot, but that's really not why anyone would be watching this: more for the family-friendly good times, and the odd breaking of the 4th wall.
