b.Young (97 KP) rated Creeker by Ryan Upchurch in Music
May 2, 2018
One great song after another!!!
Ryan Upchurch is a Rap Country artist with amazing talent!
He can literally perform every genre. While typically known for his Rap Country hits, he decided to branch out and explore the Grunge/Rock genre and has turned the genre on it's ear.
This album dropped 4/20/2018 and, in less than an hour, was sitting pretty at #3 on the US iTunes Rock charts!
Within 3 days, it was sitting in the Top 10 iTunes Rock charts in Australia and Canada.
As of last week, it was Trending in iTunes at #3, whilst Cardi B sat at #7.
Everyone needs to check this guy out!

Exclusively Gay Romance (3 more)
Good Character Art
HIgh Replay Value
Multiple Story Arcs
The Daddy of Gay Visual Novels
Coming Out on Top is a visual novel about Mark Matthews (who's kind of a weenie), college senior, newly out of the closet. Guide him through his last semester of school and through various sexual misadventures. There are several characters you can develop a "romance" with, and the storylines are not always obvious. You have to learn the characters motives to get them to like you. Other times, it feels more random. However, there is a good variety of characters for you to meet and romance.
(And the art is pretty sexy. Something for everyone, I think.)

Ability to keep player engaged (4 more)
Lots of cute pets/mounts
Cute and entertaining quests
Tavern Chat to hide from your dailies, or to ask questions
Parties and Challenges
Server delays (1 more)
I wish the app were as user friendly as the website. It usually takes a few extra minutes.
Great way to Level Up!
Habitica is great at keeping a player/person on top of their To-Do List. Completing tasks awards you experience points and gold. There's a rush to hearing that level up ding, and getting to buy new armor or new quests is very entertaining.
In terms of apps that help me stay on track and actually get stuff done, Habitica does it best.

Great film, better when it came out
Well acted, well directed, well shot and well written. The story itself leaves a little to be desired as it is too singular. I say that knowing it qom the Osacr for best screenplay. And to restate, it was VERY well written, but if the war wasnt ai fresh, it would have never won the Oscar.
But, as a standalone piece, not tied to a specific war, its overall well done.

Red Otter (340 KP) rated Codenames in Tabletop Games
Jun 3, 2019
Codenames is one of my top party games as it's one of the few that doesn't lose its lustre over multiple plays. Unlike games like Cards against humanity, there's actual skill involved with its clue choices. Two teams face off with one member from each team acting as a clue giver. The cluegiver aka spy master tried to come up with a word that can relate to selected phrases in a 5x5 grid. First team to guess all of its card wins. There definitely can be a skill difference between cluegivers, but the mind games of tryung to guess what your team will associate with your clue can result in hilarious moments.
Maris (8 KP) rated The Cruel Prince in Books
Jun 10, 2019
Absolutely stunning! magical, mystical creatures, and a dark truth. I loved this story and is one of my top favorite reads of 2018.
Are main character Jude is a mortal living in the Fey world with her twin sister. They are bullied from other creatures. Holy Black did a wonderful job writing this story were I could visualize the whole story in my head like a movie.
This lovely gem is such a dark, twisted story that the ending had me shocked. I can not wait for the second book as I need to have more from this story.

Movie Metropolis (309 KP) rated Jaws (1975) in Movies
Jun 10, 2019
Steven Spielberg’s first true blockbuster is one that has been copied but where those films tried and failed to replicate this formula, Jaws remains at the pinnacle of shark attack cinema. Filmed on a tiny budget, this iconic classic had people absolutely terrified of swimming in a pool, never mind out in the open ocean.
The special effects are crude by today’s standards but the cleverly positioned camera means the shark is rarely seen on screen for more than a couple of minutes and John William’s excellent score remains a cinema highlight for many. For films set at sea, Jaws just can’t be eaten.

Movie Metropolis (309 KP) rated Mamma Mia! (2008) in Movies
Jun 10, 2019
Cheesy to the very end but immensely successful and spawning a sequel, Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again this very summer. 2008’s Mamma Mia was one of the most profitable musicals of all time with an all-star cast including Meryl Streep and Pierce Brosnan. With the entire wedding-themed movie set on an idyllic Greek island, it was inevitable that the ceremony itself would be absolutely stunning. It was, with a church perched high on a hill and a lovely reception in which Amanda Seyfriend’s Sophie could relish in the love of her friends, mum and (spoiler alert), her three dads.

Movie Metropolis (309 KP) rated Horrible Bosses (2011) in Movies
Jun 10, 2019
Horrible Bosses is a film that features an all-star cast with the likes of Colin Farrell, Jamie Foxx, Charlie Day and Jason Sudeikis to name but a few. It performed incredibly well at the box office and didn’t fare too badly with critics either – it was awarded a decent 69% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Aniston’s performance is tongue-in-cheek to say the least as she plays a hyper-sexed dentist. She’s funny and engaging in the role, losing the girl-next-door persona she had become criticised for overplaying in the past. Horrible Bosses and its sequel are well worth a watch.

you got a fiend in me
What really happens when we aren't playing with our toys when we are out. In this Pixar movie they come to life and live among each other and are like a family. Woody is the head toy and Andy's favorite but, when a brand new toy gets given to Andy for his birthday is there a new king of the castle. Toys are always evolving and just like the new hot girl transferring to a new school and taking over the roost from the current popular one there is competition for top dog. Will Andy's toys get along or does one get discarded for newer additions.
