Text of the page (random words):
great job as old king graham the voice work overall is quite fantastic with impressive performances from tom kenny wallace shawn josh keaton and zelda williams our adventure takes place in daventry with graham having journeyed far for the competition to crown a new ruler he must pass difficult challenges that involve puzzles in classic king s quest style and defeat strong challengers to prove his worthiness this game is about graham making choices in his story the lessons he s passing down to his granddaughter through his successes and mistakes there are consequences for your actions and these carry over episodes changing how things play out one of the biggest strengths of this game is its heart you can tell that the developers care about this game and its past they show great respect for the previous games with subtle references to the history of king s quest the characters shine because of this they feel real and you care about them you can also tell that christopher lloyd enjoys voicing older graham as his performance is heartfelt and genuine minor annoyances include not being to skip through some dialogue options and a few irritating quick time events but the positives far outweigh the negatives there are quite a few the princess bride references and they respect the source material with nods to the previous games there are numerous choices that impact the story and change it slightly for example you can choose a hard loaf of bread a shield or a tabletop to replace a wheel on a wagon the prologue of the game is linear but after about an hour the game opens up into a rather big sandbox with plenty of ground to cover each and every character is a delight and they shine through great performances from their voice actors this is a lovingly crafted game and it delivers on all fronts with fantastic humour intriguing and colourful characters and a brilliant first chapter of an episodic game king s quest a knight to remember delivers on its premise i ve already played the next four and i cannot wait to review those i rate this 8 10 march 19 2017 0 among thieves review this is douglas hulick s debut novel and its a great beginning filled with intriguing twists engaging characters and a story that moves a mile a minute this is a fantastic first person perspective novel and the protagonist drothe our thief and saviour walks a fine line the book opens with a torture scene and if you can t handle descriptions of brutal torture worry not this is the only bit of torture in the book he gleans one name from this tortured man and that s when he becomes embroiled in a criminal conspiracy that sets the stage for the story this story takes place in the city of ildrecca our protagonist and anti hero drothe is a criminal a nose specifically a wide nose an information broker he works for one of the cruellest crime bosses in ildrecca nicco an upright man as they are called in thieves cant drothe also has side jobs wherein he locates rare magical and restricted artefacts one of the standout areas in this book are the characters it feels like each and every one of them has history with the intriguing lives they ve led drothe and degan thief and swordsman friend and partner in crime they watch each other s backs it s a mutually beneficial arrangement degan prevents drothe from being stabbed while on the job and gets paid to do it drothe is smart and capable but he s no fighter he s an adequate fencer but most of the time he has to rely on his wits and other talents to survive fortunately he has degan around to help when cleverness fails and he s over matched by another swordsman drothe as a nose reports on some of the shiftiest thieves and criminals in ildreccas underworld this makes him quite unpopular with certain folk because sometimes he has to break a few fingers to get information i would liken hulick s style to scott lynch and joe abercrombie fast paced great characters who operate in darkness and shades of grey there s lots of action and deals and betrayals nothing is sacred in a thief s world even those you profess loyalty to thieves cant is peppered throughout the novel and it adds to the atmosphere some of it realistically historical and other parts that are adapted it makes the world feel solid and real there are names for all kinds of kin arms latchkeys oaks long noses wide noses ildrecca is filled with life and hulick has made it an intriguing place to begin his story this is one of the best first person debuts i ve read and the author makes his cast of characters shine the pacing is a little fast and i think the world would benefit from some brief pauses to take in the scenery and explore more of ildrecca but otherwise i don t have many complaints about this one hulick has created a wonderfully dark world and i cannot wait to see what he does with drothe next i rate this novel 8 10 december 8 2016 0 words are powerful everyone reads words appear on your books televisions ipads kindles computers words are everywhere and that s a good thing words are important and they have power the power to heal to help to hurt words evoke startling images of emotion through varying ways of communication we use words in every walk of life thus they are of immense importance words influence the way we think and feel on important subjects the things that come out of that hole in your face yes your mouth can sometimes determine where your life takes you and what path you walk words are powerful words can change people s opinions feelings and hearts a single word said at the right time can change everything the thoughts you express through your words shape your life this is usually done unconsciously as few realise this and take the time to pay attention to the words they say while thinking words originate as thoughts and through that they have an impact on our attitudes and relationships and even our mindsets once in a while you come across amazing examples of writing writing that shocks you have you ever put down a novel stunned by how much it affected you and made you feel how you are an utter wreck after experiencing that story have you ever lost yourself in a fantastic fantasy world this is the magic of creativity and fiction and the written word it captivates the imagination holds it hostage and takes you to a whole new place it makes you feel it makes you care about these fictional characters that exist in their own little worlds those unique bizarre characters that draw you in with their personalities and charm you into reading about them and the lives they lead words are everywhere take the time to notice them and be careful when you use them words have power november 26 2016 2 the aeronaut s windlass review this novel written by jim butcher is what i ve come to expect from his writing well developed and quirky characters great action and fantastic world building now he s thrown his hat into the steampunk realm and he pulls it off this is more in line with his codex alera series as it is written in third person with multiple characters having chapters to themselves the aeronaut s windlass follows several protagonists as they attempt to foil the encroaching darkness this world called cinder exists high in the sky humanity lives in indestructible spires with the use of crystals to power the majority of their technology the world below seems monstrous and inhabited by many dangerous creatures it is shrouded in heavy mist and humans have ceased to live on the surface of the world because of this humans cannot exist on the surface and the planet itself seems hostile jim drops little hints about the world s current state and i m curious to see what comes of this the main cast include captain grimm gwen lancaster bridget benedict feris folly and rowl captain francis grimm is an intelligent no nonsense man who leads his men with experience and pure will his ship the predator is his pride and joy and he cares for every member of his crew gwendolyn is a young noble from the lancaster family she oozes determination and stubbornness willing to blow a hole in her family home to get her way to joining the spirearches guard she is similar to grimm s personality just not as far along the road as him rowl is a cat and he would doubtlessly say he needs no introduction but i ll do it anyway rowl is the prince of the nine paws kit to the leader and arrogant and proud as you might expect rowl considers bridget his human his friend and personal attendant rowl brings most of the humour to this novel by being a cat and acting like one bridget is incredibly strong from years of physical labour she seems naive and gentle but she knows her duty and is fluent in cat translating for rowl and operating as his mouthpiece benedict sorellen lancaster is gwen s cousin and a warrior born he is a soldier in the spirearches guard the warrior born seem to be gene spliced half human half cat gifted with immense strength and durability folly and ferus are etherealists the magic users of this world each of them seems to be broken in a different way they take in the energy all around ether and have the ability to channel it in various ways ferus is folly s master and teacher the aeronaut s windlass is a fantastic novel and another great addition from jim butcher this isn t a steampunk novel per se it has a dose of sci fi and all round thrill ride but i would struggle categorise this as steampunk as most of the technology runs on crystals electricity the pacing of the book grasps onto you and doesn t let go i can t wait to see what he does with this series and where the characters go i rate this book 8 5 10 november 7 2016 0 howl s moving castle review this is my favourite studio ghibli film it has a warm place in my heart and i always remember it fondly howl s moving castle is a gorgeously animated fantasy film suitable for children and adults alike with breathtaking visuals and intriguing characters this film is based on the british fantasy novel written by dianna wynn jones the film begins in a european esque town focusing on its protagonist sophie voiced by emily mortimer which is appropriate sophie is 18 and works hard in her father s hat shop after an incredible encounter with the charming wizard howl a cruel witch known as the witch of the waste curses sophie and she is transformed into an old woman voiced by jean simmons she spends the remainder of the film in this form her journey made harder by the fact she now has creaky bones and aches to follow her eventually she finds her way to a peculiar castle with the help of a living scarecrow it s the eponymous howl s moving castle of the title said to be home to a mysterious and powerful wizard the titular castle wheezes and puffs as it moves along on mechanical spidery legs the castle literally breathes magic and inside more wonders are found in this vast creaking building the door serves as a portal into different cities and realms it s in this strange wonderful place that sophie meets howl a charming handsome petulant young wizard with a helping of vanity she cleverly negotiates to be the cleaner and her life in the castle begins she is introduced to howl s incredibly young apprentice markl and calcifer a powerful fire demon bound to the castle that powers the entire thing and enables it to move sophie begins her new life by tidying up the incredibly cluttered with an iron will seriously you would need a flamethrower to get rid of all the spider webs inside this weird home the master of the castle proves to be a complex rather strange man who comes and goes at odd times taxing his magic and exhausting himself howl is an exceedingly vain man who believes himself to be the most handsome man demonstrated after an incident in which sophie accidentally causes his hair to be dyed orange and he sinks into despair but sophie does more than simply clean up she helps them through hard times and shows them the way forward similar to most of miyazaki s movies the visuals set the scenes and tell what kind of story this is the animation and visuals are fantastic with a more vibrant colour palette than in most of miyazaki s films with green grassy knolls and kingfisher blue skies filled with pillowy clouds the castle of the title is lovingly hand drawn and wondrous this is old fashioned you won t find any digital effects in this movie every single environment and character is beautifully hand drawn howl s moving castle is a magical heartfelt film that makes you feel it doesn t have the subtlety of some of miyazaki s other films but it soars in all the other categories a strong female protagonist a host likeable characters intriguing villains this arduous journey of self discovery and truth is quite entertaining and strange the overall story is good and the characters develop quite well and change in intriguing ways throughout the film the voice cast do a great job with the stand outs being christian bale as howl and billy crystal as calcifer i rate this 8 5 10 october 12 2016 0 dark souls 3 review the fire still burns strong in dark souls 3 even if the flame is fading this game from japanese developers fromsoftware is the last of the soul games and it delivers appropriately the bleak oppressing atmosphere of the souls games has always been one of the big drawing points for me the way the world feels and the hopelessness and the plight of the undead and all who inhabit this forlorn world the little scraps of lore left behind are there if you delve deep enough into the history of lothric and its lords if you enjoy ferreting out information and gleaning its every meaning continuing in dark souls tradition exploration is incredibly important and you genuinely want to explore these beautiful environments and settings you travel across a wide variety of locations toxic swamps cursed libraries and diabolical dungeons all to fulfil your solemn duty as an unkindled your quest is to return the lords of cinder to their thrones and link the fire to the first flame firelink shrine operates as the hub with various npc s selling items and andre the blacksmith is always there to reinforce and repair your trusty weapons with the added addition of weapon arts that change up gameplay each individual weapon has a specific art take the uchigatana for example you sheathe this katana and quick draw in an iaido like technique or the bandit s knife which allows you to quickstep around opponents with its weapon art boss soul weapons have different more powerful arts as well this adds more depth to the already deep combat of dark souls 3 to utilise these new weapon arts you must use focus point otherwise known as fp each and every weapon in dark souls 3 can be used in a multitude of ways in my experience the dark souls community is one of the most honourable ones out there even when another player invades your world with the sole purpose of killing you they ll give you a fair chance with honour rules on one occasion someone invaded me and i made a friend an...
