Playing escape games were a past time for me, and I recently wanted to get back into them. In comes Escape Logan Estate. It is an escape style game with a story. You are at you grandfather’s house and are searching around it. Other than that, I’m a little confused about what is going on. You have to solve puzzles around the house, but it’s not to escape. It’s to uncover the story. The first chapter is free, but the last two are about $3.00 each. Someone might find the worth it, but I personally didn’t, especially when you introduce a story element that has no conclusion. If you just play the first chapter, you will understand. At the end of it, I had more questions than answers. Maybe you guys can explain to me what’s going on. Personally, I wouldn’t pay for this game, but unfortunately, I found that out afterward. If you guys still want to play the game, you can find it on Android and iOS.

Down the Rabbit Hole Pt 1
This book is severely weird in a hope that as soon as I mention the title of said book, you will get my point. I just read Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. I mean I watched the Disney version, as well as the first Tim Burton one, but it didn’t prepare me for how weird it was. There were sections that I had to reread several times just so I could get all of the facts straight. The way dialogue was written also threw me off but that is another story. And to be completely honest, I have no clue how the story ended. I think I understand what happened, but I’m still not 100%. I’ve asked other people who have read the book, and they are not too sure about it either. It is a short book so I could reread it again to try and figure it out, but I’m pretty sure it’s not supposed to make sense. I will be reading the second to embrace myself in the weirdness once again. Let’s hope I can get out of that one brain completely intact.
One to Save Them All: Pt 1
There are many times when you start to read a series, you get to the last update available, and then completely forget about the series until years later when that are about five more updates. This is one of those series. I have recently rediscovered a series known as The Fallen. I’m pretty sure that there are seven books in this series, but I only remember two of said books, so I decided to reread and finish the series.
It was just as good as I remember. It was fast-paced and didn’t waste a single scene. This series surrounds angels and religious symbolism. This means that if you are sensitive to this sort of things in books, this probably isn’t the series for you. But if you are okay with this sort of thing, I’m confident that you will enjoy this book. The protagonist relatable and well written. He sticks to his guns unlike many other characters in a similar situation as he. He is also a fighter. He is a genuinely a good character that you want to succeed.
I’ll be writing reviews for this series similar to how I am writing reviews for the Vampire for Hire series. Hopefully, that is an easy format to follow.
Totally Sober Things to Do
I have recently gotten into webcomics. The first one that I finished was a short one called I’m NOT Drunk. It is a short webcomic about the strange things people do when they’re drunk. This comic ranges from drunken singing to accidentally asking people out. It was adorable and made me giggle a couple of times. It is short, sweet and very to the point. It’s also easy to see who the drunk person is because they are colored in red. Each “round” is a funny scenario or reaction to a scenario by the characters that stereotypical of drunken people. I would recommend reading this if you want something to give you a little laugh.
If you know some good webcomics, I’m up for suggestions. I’m new to the scene and don’t know very many sources.
Every-bunny Needs Some-bunny
Recently, I have read the super cute book A Day in the Life of Marlon Bundo by Jill Twiss. It was sponsored by HBO’s Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, which is where I heard about the book from. I don’t read many children’s book, but this one was well worth it. I’ve read it twice, and it brought tears to my eyes both times. The best part about this book is that 100% of the proceeds go to the Trevor Project and AIDS United, two amazing causes to get behind. I would personally get this book anyway that you could. Even though this book was written with a political agenda, it is a good book. Nothing political is explicit, so if you want to read to this, they will only get the message of love. I’m not going to spoil anything from this book(except for in the tags), you are just going to have to get your hands on a copy. You can get it here.
Female Bounty Hunters
I recently finished the very short anime known as Gunsmith Cats. It was amazing. It was short and sweet. At three episodes long, it is a good way to spend the end of a night. It featured strong female characters who were not afraid to get their hands dirty. It also took place in Chicago, and it was kinda funny how some Americans were depicted. But the storyline was well done. I also found out that there is a manga for it. Happily, for me, the anime was its own little thing and was only using the characters and some of the references, which means that I can read the manga without having anything spoiled. I know what’s next of my to-read list.
Documentary on the Workplace
Recently, I watched the British version of The Office. No, I didn’t get every single joke, but I enjoyed the layout of the show. It wasn’t joke after joke, except from the guy who guininely thought he was funny. All of the relationships between the characters were believable and interacted with each other well. I believed the emotion, even though it was overlayed with this extreme awkwardness of nonactors pretending that they are not scared to be on camera. I felt that emotion, from every single character. Personally, Martin Freeman’s character was my absolute charcter. He was on point ever single moment that he was on screen. It was amazing seeing in action. I watched this version before watching the American version, because I want to be able to see the original version of these characters and see how they changed. I can’t say that I’m disappointed. I plan on watch the US version, but no promisings on when. The show is pretty long.
Old Homes in Waco, Texas
I think everyone had the point in life where they can’t understand the appeal of HGTV. I am officially past that point. Recently, I discovered that Hulu put Fixer Upper on its streaming service. Unfortunately, it is only three seasons, but I hoping that they add more later on. This is one of my favorite renovation shows on HGTV. Instead of doing something else for this blog, I’ve been binge watching these first three seasons. I’m a bit behind on my schedule, but I think it is worth it for the chemistry. Chip and Jo are one of the cutest couples that I have ever seen, and their kids are just so adorable. They should not be allowed to be that cute. It should be against the law. I’m a bit sad that they canceled the show, especially since they got pregnant again. I really want to see the new baby, but at least I know that they are doing well and are happy. But I can still hope that they bring the show back when the baby is older.
Failing in the Best Ways
I recently just finished binge-watching that amazing Netflix original Nailed It. It is based on the trend of ordinary people trying to create the masterpieces that they see on social media platforms such as Pinterest. It is three hours of your time, but what an amazing time you will have. The host is hilarious, and the main judge is adorable. What I love about this show is that no one truly believes that they are better than everyone else. Everyone is in the same place and are just having fun with it. It’s a fun little competition between beginner bakers. What I also loved, is that if the judges saw something go wrong in the process, they would inform the participants what they did wrong and how to fix it in the future, so it is fun and a learning experience all in one. I would definitely recommend watching this short little binge.
Not So Political Comedy
A show that I recently caught up on and finished, unexpectedly, was The Mayor. It was a short little show got canceled after 13 episodes. It had highlights here and there, but it was … cringy. There were many times that I paused the show, and walked away. For a while actually. If you are looking for a political commentary with some comedy highlights, this is probably not for you. Earlier on there were plenty of bazingas concerning current events, but they fall flat after that. All of the characters, in my opinion, were good but weren’t used to their potential. Also, when a protagonist makes the same, exact mistake over and over again, the conflicts become boring really fast. If the protagonist made new mistakes, I would probably understand the show not being canceled. To me, there was no growth of characters to make them rememberable. Any lessons to be learned were immediately lost, which was especially noticed by someone who binge-watches shows often instead of keeping up to date. It was just too much of a drag to even try to keep up to date. I honestly can’t say that I was surprised by the canceling of this show. I would say give this show a change, but I would not be surprised if you stop somewhere in the middle.
