Wish death's voice was more grandiose (0 more)
Fun show witty and humorous. I am a huge fan of Terry Pratchett and Niel Gaiman; I was excited to know that Niel helped with the TV writing. If you're a fan of the book or not, hopefully you enjoy it as much as I have watching it as I. The only complaint is that I wish Death's voice was a little more grandiose, the hollowness of it was great but it wasn't as large as I thought it could have been, as Terry Pratchett's Death is one of my top three favorite Death Characters in more than a bit picky about it; his acting was spot on.
  
8 Out of 10 Cats Board Game
8 Out of 10 Cats Board Game
2014 | Quiz / Trivia
A highly entertaining party game
It's not often that you find a fun trivia game that isn't actually based on what you know, but 8 out of 10 cats really pulls it off.

It manages to replicate the tv show in an easily understandable and fun format, that can be played by all the family. It's not reliant on how smart you are but rather concentrates on your opinions and common sense. It's a great party game to play with multiple teams, it involves everyone and it isn't very long either. The final round (to complete before you are crowned the winner) is quite difficult, but thankfully not enough to make you want to give up in exasperation. Such a fun game.

Every player thinks they need an armoury
Brilliant AR Game
So... an AR game, featuring your favourite characters from The Walking Dead tv & comics. Powered by GoogleMaps so even the street names show up! Headed up to the main high street & took out walkers in AR mode between the drunks on the street with Daryl at my side... 3 of my PoGo friends instantly downloaded this & have been glued.
Save survivors, take out outposts of hostile humans, take out waves of walkers in infestion missions.

Downside is out of the 4 building types everyone builds armoury to upgrade weapons & forgets everything else needs upgrading too.
This causes lots of grinding to upgrade instead

From looking at the poster and trailer, I wasn't sure whether Carnival Row would be 'up my street'. However, after the first episode I was gripped. One of the main things I look out for in any TV show or film is the sincerity of the acting. Cara Delevigne shone for me. I was pleasantly surprised by her as I have only known her as a model. Orlando Bloom also showed great talent, as always. If you like crime and fantasy, this is the perfect blend of both worlds, and I would highly recommend giving it a go. It deserves all the praise it has received. I am very much looking forward to the second season.

Hemlock Grove is about a family of Upirs (vampires), a werewolves and witches, all trying to keep their identities hidden from the rest of the town. Each season has a different ‘story’: mainly murders.
I watched Hemlock Grove not really knowing what is was about, therefore, it didn’t have my full attention to begin with. However, after the first couple of episodes, I was completely hooked and loved it so much.
My only problem is that they kill off all the best characters; a couple of my favourites were killed off.
Overall, I 100% recommend this show to anyone with access to it.*

*It can be found on Netflix (UK, don’t know about other countries).
