    Lego The Incredibles

    By Myr,


    Gaming
    So, I thought I'd bring up another Lego game, as they are great for mindless entertainment.  There is an absolute ton of these things too.  Today's Lego game is Lego The Incredibles, based off Pixar's The Incredibles.  (Probably the best theme music for an animated flick too). 
    This game is narrowing in scope of something like Lego Marvel Superheros 2, despite having super heroes being a common thread.  The story follows both The Incedibles and The Incredibles 2 and is an enjoyable romp through the highlights of those movies.  The city, New Urbem, has lot of different superhero activities to stop crime.  The races in the game are mostly manageable and the flight races are a LOT better done than Lego Marvel Super Heroes or Lego Batman anything.  I'm almost done wrapping up the achievements, which has been considerably less tedious than some of the other Lego Games.  Though the 75 hit combo is tough since the AI often gets in your way or kills the guy you need to complete the combo.
    Fun game and a great distraction from stress. (mostly)

    Summer Break 2018

    By Myr,


    Life
    Wow, with summer here in the Northern Hemisphere, we are definitely seeing a drop in people online.   Even I'm getting more sun.
    I'm going to cut back on the number of blogs I'm doing for now and pick up again in the fall.  It'll give me more time to do these silly summer homeowner things I'm suddenly stuck with. lol.

    Jurassic Park World

    By Myr,


    Movies
    I enjoyed this movie.  I was a big fan of the first Jurassic Park.  It was a definite classic.  Of course, that was before Steven Speilberg nuked the fridge...
    Jurassic Park 2 kind of sucked as the only character they kept was Jeff "The Annoyance" Goldblum.  Jurassic Park III, well... it was better than 2.  The kid was less annoying too.  So yeah... this is better than 2 or 3.
    Have you seen it?  Where does it rate for you?

    I have mentioned before that I enjoy Tom Clancy's epic length novels.  He had three intertwining series all set in the same world.  This is another thing I like.  Having a created world where you can do different series of books and the characters bump into each other.  Without Remorse is where we meet the major recurring character of John Clark.   This is a good solid book that is a pageturner.  It's been entirely too long since I've last read it, so it is back into the queue for the next time I'm devouring books.  If you like political and military stuff, or Tom Clancy's stuff in general, this is a good book to read.

    Percy Jackson the Olympians

    By Myr,


    Books
    Rick Riordan has become a juggernaut through Greek, Roman, Egyptian, and Norse Mythologies with his interlocking series of books.  They all started with Percy Jackson and the Olympians series.  (Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief being the first book)
    I've read this 5 book series and I have the other 15 or so books in the interlocking series, but I haven't read them yet.  The man is just cranking these things out.
    They are aimed at teens, so they make a great light read for those that like modern fantasy, a la Harry Potter.

    Immortals Fenyx Rising - Impressions

    By Myr,


    Gaming
    I finally sat down and played Immortals - Fenyx Rising today. It's on sale digitally and on various sites. I put links to Amazon USA below (they are affiliate links, Gay Authors gets a small cut if you order the game from the link)
    This game has a nice gameplay loop.  The narrators are entertaining and the world is very colorful and beautiful. I am playing on Xbox Series X and the game plays great and I have not encountered any bugs so far.  (Unlike all the other games out at the moment...)
    This game is was clearly inspired by Zelda Breath of the Wild.  If you play it, let me know what you think.  I'll post more on it later.

    Writing Books - Dazzling Dialog

    By Myr,


    Writing
    I picked up this book recently in my never ending quest to improve my writing skill set.  It's a short book that is a very quick read.  I'd recommend it as it targets a weakness that a lot of stories have and it gives practical tips on how to spot the problems and how to fix them
    Definitely worth the read.  It's available on Kindle as well if you like to keep your library digital.
