Hey, guys. Today, we're gonna be talking about The Hidden Court by Vivienne Savage writing as Dominique Kristine.
I received this book for an honest review. So, let's get started.
The Hidden Court is about a girl, named Skyler Corazzi, who is a faerie attending the University of PNRU
While attending, Skyler meets new friends, including shifters or were-creatures, other faeries, mages, and vampires.
Skyler falls head-over-heels for the incredibly hot wereraven who is the sentinel of a
Godmother that she is shadowing for her first-year assignment. Skyler and her friends noticed some strange
occurrences during their very first year at PNRU, and they feared that darklings, or
creatures like them who have gone to the dark, are planning something huge.
With exams, psycho girlfriends, and the health of
Skylar's empathic friend Liadan to worry about, Skyler has her hands full.
But that doesn't stop her from
late-night training sessions with her favorite wereraven or
seeking answers about the mysterious Hidden Court.
My name is Sarah Kaider and you're watching Aliens, Clones, and Airships.
The Hidden Court was a very interesting read. Skylar's character is humorous,
realistic, and a very strong female lead. Kristine's writing style is fantastic,
including gut-busting humor, pop-culture references, and
realistic teenage interactions. In terms of writing style,
It reminded me a lot of The House of Night series by PC Cast and Kristin Cast. The characters in this book
reacted exactly the way you would imagine young adults reacting to certain situations and
the humor definitely fit the characters.
I found that the character that I could most relate to was Liadan, because of her empathic qualities, and I am extremely empathic myself.
When Liadan goes through her empathic shock after witnessing something traumatic,
she goes into full shutdown and I could relate to that situation. I really enjoyed all of the different mentions
of magical folk in this story regardless of whether or not they ended up being a part of the story themselves.
I really enjoyed the fact that there were different types of characters and that the
rarity of
becoming that type of character was mentioned in this book, as well.
I think my favorite type of creature in this story were the were-creatures or the
shifters because they ended up becoming sentinels.
Sentinels were very strong, and they were the fighters in this story, and that ended up being what
Skyler wanted to be, but couldn't, because she is a faerie, and the University doesn't approve of faeries becoming
sentinels. Skylar ends up breaking so many stereotypes down in this book. As a faerie, people
don't take her seriously and expect her to sing songs, dance around, do the "typical" fairy thing;
but that's not what she wants to be.
She wants to be a fighter and she doesn't want to be helpless while she goes on whatever excursions she has to go on.
So, she wants to train with her wereraven and
she ends up breaking down all stereotypes that people think of faeries.
She sets out to prove to the University that her abilities are not limited
nor defined by her race. This book tackles racism on multiple levels. The idea
that one's race is superior to others, the idea that a
certain race can only mingle with other members of the same race, and the idea that one's
aspirations and abilities are
defined by their race are all challenged in this book.
Not only by Skylar, but also by smaller characters on
different levels. So, I really enjoyed this book,
I think it's a very good read. People who liked The House of Night series would really enjoy reading this as well. And I am
so excited, because there is going to be another installment in this series, called The Scary Godmother,
and I'm not sure when it comes out, but I'm excited to read it when it does.
Anyway, this has been my review of The Hidden Court, and I will see you next time. Bye.

Elite: dangerous Federation Dropship Tactical paint pack review - Duration: 7:23.
Hey it's Ricardo and welcome to elite dangerous beyond yes I'm still playing I
thought I'd take a look at the paint pack available for the Federation
dropship a great old ship now this tactical paint pack does provide you
with quite a few cool colors personally my favorite paint job this entire pack
is ice white or tactical white I think it's great
adds a little bit of I don't know I just think the ship looks a bit gangster in
it you know where's the cutter the cutter is white generally by default
this is drab old olive green you know it's Federation it's a hunk of metal
it's built for sort of like a military usage but having that just extra car
that white just kind of brings the entire model alive in my honest opinion
I think it's definitely worth well a look if you are a federation drop ship
pilot now I flew this extensively earlier on in the main game when I was
starting out I thought it was great it did it for me it was quite good in
combat and then a decent cargo space and it was a great deal big lump of pig iron
I could throw around and escape most scrapes and sizes but let let's go
through the colors I got them all named as well let's play some music relax grab
a biscuit and let's go through this pink pack
so here we go straight up we've got tactical crimson now I like a bit of a
washed out dusty red or crimson you could say I think this there's add a
little bit to the model a little bit dark but again I do like the white as I
already mentioned the ship's looking pretty good in it you know I think it's
great the sort of the tactical colors are sort of rich but then dusty to lend
themselves that sort of a camouflaged affair
there's pick out the details of the model as opposed to some of the other
darker colours that we're gonna see as we progress through the video now
tactical crimson I would say that's probably second favorite what with white
being the first the ship does look good it does look really good now next up
we've got tactical khaki yes a car key depending on how you want to say it very
military looking you know very sort of Desert Storm Desert warfare good for
soft landing on those planets those sandy planets attempting not to be
noticed now it's one of these things like you know the camouflage it actually
did something can afford you some sort of in-game advantage then sewing having
you your ship painted sandy brown or sandy yellow depending on where you
stand with this would be an advantage at the moment it's all cosmetic and it
looks good lighter than tactical crimson blob see not like the tactical white
this has got to be my number three favorite all-round paint pack for this
ship now we've got tactical olive green that's what it is
olive green not even entirely sure olives can be that so darker color they
should have called it tactical tactical field or tactical grass or just tactical
green tactical olive hmm still looking very military if that's your twist on
the game and you're flying in a military win and you're packing one of these
things then this is the paint pack for you
this is I've got to say it the fourth favorite paint pack in the tactical
paint pack series for this ship just pipping the tactical khaki to the post
now tactical graphite or gray tactical gray this is what it is again light
makes it look a little bit boring enough for the ships within the elite dangerous
galaxy a gray and there we have it tactical ice or a tactical white this
for me is why it's all about I've said it a few times in this video already I
think it's fantastic really lends itself to the model and looks a bit bling looks
a bit gangster it looks like it should have a nice big set of flashing spinning
rims on it to go with its blacked-out windows perhaps even a go-faster stripe
but you can get those anyway can you so yes
tactical ice on this drop ship is by far my favorite pink pack and well worth a
look if you're in the market to buy a pink pack
now as with all these they come at a price and are pretty bright as well but
Czech Elks sometimes frontier does have some sales on now tactical cobalt what
can I say about this color it's too dark too dark all round and you know the
cobalt blue affair I get it I do I really do get it it's it's like well
we've got to have a blue involved you know what should we call it or we'll
call it cobalt and that sounds really good and tactical so we'll call it
tactical cobalt but it's okay because when you're out in in camera mode no one
else can see the ship hmm needed something to enhance it it just perhaps
my least favorite of all the tactical packs that are involved with this
tactical paint pack for the Federation dropship you know it's not it's not
abusive it's it's not hard on the eyes just doesn't really lend itself to well
to the model anyway I've been Ricardo it has been a leak dangerous and the
federation dropship tactical pink pack thanks very much for watching and check
out for more videos in the series

Nobel Royal from Rumoe Watches Men's Dress Watch Review - Duration: 7:33.
Nobel Royal - Rumoe Watches - Men's Dress Watch Review what is up this is Andrew with my watch addictions calm and today we're gonna
take a look at a new dress watch that I found from Rumoe watches so
if you haven't heard of rumo watches before that that likely doesn't surprise
me it's a relatively new watch brand out of Sweden and I happen to come across it
by just flying through social media a little bit but it's a micro brand that
was started by a group of watch enthusiasts that got together and
decided that they wanted to design a gorgeous dress watch that was based on
style and simplicity so we're gonna jump into this watch and take a look at it
here in a second and find out a little bit more about it but before we do that
guys do me a favor go down there in the right hand corner of the screen is that
subscribe button if you have not already go ahead and smash that guy so you can
follow us in the future so if we crack into this guy real clean box design just
black cardboard box outer box we open this guy up and on the inside tissue
tissue paper I should say protecting this black piano finish watch box very
very heavy-duty box we have a push button to open it up and inside we have
leather covered inside to this watch box and then there it is there's the noble
royal stainless steel so if we take this watch out and take a look at it with you
guys one thing I noticed right off the bat when I was looking at this watch is
it reminds me a lot of that ball enterprise that I
have just in that dial design with those stainless-steel indices at the our
markers very very clean design so here we zoomed in on this noble royal this
watch has a 40 millimeter case diameter with a case thickness of only 11 and a
half millimeters which from a dress watch standpoint that's really really
nice size fits under the cuff of a shirt this is 316l stainless steel and does
have a sapphire glass crystal the strap on this is a genuine leather black calf
strap with a butterfly buckle or the quick-release buckle right there with
rumo engraved right onto that buckle one thing that's really kind of interesting
about this watch is if you look at the back of this it does have an engraved
seeing right on that case back if I can get a picture for you guys there the
skyline the movement in this watch is a Japanese Seiko NH35 Automatic Movement now you guys
have seen a lot of watches that I've reviewed with that NH35 movement
very solid 24 jeweled movement 21600 beats per minute hacking and
bi-directional winding thanks to that NH35 this is a dress watch so the
water resistance is a lot lower on this then you would see in some watches this
is only going to be a 5 atm water resistance or 50 meters very solid
clicks to the crown on this watch you can see the hacking right there
this is not a screw down crown by chance but it does have that bi-directional
winding now rumoe watches when they started the brand actually originally
launched this watch via Kickstarter campaign yeah and it looks like this
Kickstarter campaign which incidentally I wasn't a backer of I didn't find this
watch until after the fact so I definitely missed out on this campaign
but the super early bird special on these watches which went to a hundred
and thirty-four backers these watches went for $199 in US and these guys
shipped in January of 2018 it looks like when these watches shipped originally
from their Kickstarter campaign they had 151 total backers to complete their
Kickstarter campaign now currently this watch is selling on rumo calm that's our
Rumoe.com this watch is selling for three hundred and ninety nine
dollars with that Seco and h35 movement and this watch does come in a number of
color combinations along with strap combinations so they
have a royal rose gold case they have the noble royal stainless steel with a
white dial as well as the rose gold with the white dial as well and then they
have a number of different types of watch straps that you can pick up to add
to this watch so that was a noble royal stainless steel from room o watches very
clean little dress watch that I definitely think it's gonna get some
wrist time from me I in my daily daily rotation if you want to see this guy and
my wrist don't forget you can follow us an Instagram slash watch addiction dot
us to see what's on my wrist on a daily basis anyway guys post up in the
comments below and let me know what you think of this watch do you like it d
hate it what do you think they could or should have done differently definitely
post up in the comments but oh and let me know what you think anyway
guys we're to get out of here have a great week stay safe and we'll see you

Bunker Punks Review - Duration: 7:26.
Yes!
Finally, this is what I'm talking about.
Bunker Punks is a first person shooter rogue-like with base building and it works.
It freaking nailed the mechanics of an FPS while adding in just enough rogue-like to
keep it interesting.
Mashing genres is always dangerous because if one of them is off then everything else
feels wrong.
Let me tell you about Bunker Punks and see if it's for you.
In Bunker Punks the goal is to raid other strongholds and tear down the corporate government.
The bulk of the game is spent inside these strongholds.
It's split up into multiple floors and at the start they have three and it expands from
there.
The floors are randomized with predefined rooms.
This way it's a little unexpected each time without getting too random.
The rooms are packed with enemies though, every room is dangerous.
The FPS mechanics are super fast and it reminds me of Doom.
Also not having to reload helps with that feeling as well.
You'll be peeking corners to see where the enemies are and trying to quickly dodge their
shots.
There is a lot of backing up and keeping line of sight with only one enemy makes things
a lot easier.
When you enter a room this full of enemies it's very difficult to dodge everything,
you do not want to stand still.
Pulling them into the doorway is a pretty good tactic.
However some of the enemies can get a little stuck on a corner which feels like cheating
when you can take pop shots without them attacking you.
It also feels bad when you can't see an enemy and they shoot you right as you enter
the room without you having a chance.
This is especially tricky in the final room which contains a boss.
If the boss is in a bad spot you're kinda screwed and have to peek super fast and try
and get a shot off.
In that close of quarters with the boss it's almost impossible.
The punks themselves are better at certain weapons and have a secondary skill.
It provides some variety when playing and you'll be almost forced to play with certain
weapons.
It's not a bad thing but the boost can be really significant when combined with gear
and upgrades.
I don't understand the secondary skills at all though.
Molly Pop's skill makes no sense to me and Cleopatra Rex's is a stun that doesn't
work on bosses.
I hope they can clear up what the skills do and balance them to be a bit more useful.
The stun is just too short to really matter.
The specials take chi to use which you build as you kill but you can acquire more with
combos.
The combo system is pretty cool and can be upgraded so it restores health.
One interesting thing about the strongholds is that they are filled with crates and exploding
barrels.
These can be used to destroy a bunch of enemies at once and sometimes contain items.
It's really fun to blow up a barrel and take an enemy or two with it.
I just wish that the enemy bullets would destroy the crates as well.
Perhaps that would make the game too hard but it would lead to some pretty fun and unexpected
gameplay.
Especially if the enemies could kill each other.
The strongholds are also where you'll find armor, weapons, money, and tech.
The weapons and armor you can equip immediately.
Money is spent between rounds and tech is used to unlock new punks and items for your
next run.
The drops from enemies expire after a short amount of time and this includes bullets.
You can definitely run out of bullets if you're not careful.
So Bunker Punks wants you to run into rooms to make sure to collect everything which puts
you in a lot of danger.
There's no way you're sniping anything from afar.
Between not being able to collect ammo and that damage drop off you need to get in close.
Anyway, from the start you only have one inventory slot and one gun slot.
So you have to be very choosy in what you want to bring back to base.
Good news is that you can upgrade these slots from your bunker later.
Speaking of the bunker it's incredibly important for being able to complete the later levels.
Of course it's a rogue-like so you'll be dying a lot.
The bunker lets you upgrade your punks into being better at weapons, health, armor, and
just about everything.
You have to build rooms like a gym, a shooting range, and an infirmary.
And then you can select what you want to fill the rooms with.
For example you can build a bullseye in the shooting range which increases damage for
pistols and handguns by twenty five percent.
They all seem to have five upgrade levels and it gets progressively more expensive as
you go.
Without these upgrades, you're not getting very far.
You can also visit the shop here for new gear and the doctor.
You have to spend valuable cash on healing which makes even the smallest hit in the levels
depressing.
The shop is fine but the text description isn't as helpful as showing the upgrade
percents which you can see during a level.
I don't get it, Bunker Punks has a great item comparison during the levels but while
shopping just a small text description?
You'll end up memorizing what items are your favorites because they all seem to drop
in the level anyway.
Selling items seems more important than actually buying and maybe that's the point.
Either way I hope they start showing the percentages on the shop screen.
The final part of Bunker Punks is where you can purchase unlocks for future runs with
your tech.
This includes new characters, extra beds, weapons, armor, and new rooms.
Pretty much everything that would help to get a little bit further on the next run.
For example, the bunk beds upgrade lets you start with two punks instead of one.
Essentially giving you another chance.
The game is not stingy with tech drops so I've been able to unlock a few things with
each run.
I like that, and the fact that I can choose between a couple items is great as well.
I can prioritize new punks if I want or that new gun that looks cool.
This is a solid progression system that will keep me playing for many runs.
It's definitely working because I'm still struggling with the later levels but have
progressed much further each run.
Side note, make sure to increase the mouse sensitivity as it's set way too low.
Firing quick is imperative and I can't understand why it's so low initially.
Also start on a lower difficultly setting than you expect because the game is hard.
I'm pretty happy with that.
Overall, Bunker Punks is a great indie game.
The shooting feels great and is incredibly quick.
The first level doesn't instantly become trivial either which can happen in a lot of
rogue-likes.
The way Bunker Punks combines all the elements makes for a complete experience, more so than
any of these ingredients alone.
While I do wish the enemies were a little bit smarter and they could interact with each
other it's definitely not a deal breaker.
Also the game could use a bit more weapon variety to start, even though I know the point
is to unlock it as you play.
If you like first person shooters at all this game is solid though and I highly recommend
it.
Thanks for watching.

Pear FlavourArt – Review & Recipe [A sweet and fruity flavor ] - Duration: 5:04.
Goodday and Welcome to another review.
Im john from diy eliquid recipes and today Im here to take a look at a very nice and
realistic fruit flavor and also give you a great recipe that goes along with it.
So this is pear from flavourart.
Pear is one of the staple fruit flavors in eliquid making.
Not only it tastes very true to the real fruit juice, but it can also help other eliquids
taste more juicy and fresh.
You can use it as the primary flavor to make sweet fruity eliquids or as an accent on the
side of other fruits to give them a boost or a richer taste.
A good starting ratio range to use pear as a base is from 5 up to 8% and as a side accent
it works well from 2 up to 4 or 5%.
As a side note I have to say that this is a very light tasting concentrate so if you
use it as your base try using only a very small amount of other fruits since they will
overpower it very easily.
Now if you want to make a solo eliquid to try this flavor alone, a good mild mix is
from anywhere at 6% up to 8 % and for a very strong taste you can use it starting from
8% all the way up to 12% maximum.
Solo this flavor is actually not bad.
It has a very light taste that definitely needs a little help for a full eliquid flavor.
Still though you will be able to taste the pear flavor a lot and it will have a very
nice and realistic vapor.
It is sweet enough on it's own but 0.5% of sweetener seems to help the flavor more.
if you are planning on vaping pear alone.
Also another tip, is to add 1% of an apple concentrate to it, it can be fuji or any double
apple or apple flavor.
This seems to add some extra depth to the pear taste without interfering or altering
the flavor.
And the third and last way you can use this flavor is using 1% of pear in any fruit recipe.
Since as I mentioned earlier this is a very light flavor,so when using it only at 1% it
will add extra freshness and juiciness to your eliquids and help bring all the fruits
a lot more forward inside the recipe.
This property is especially helpful if you are using heavy creams inside or together
with your fruit recipes.
Now I will move on to quickly show you a recipe I prepared including this flavor.
This is a twist to another recipe I released last year but changed to add more emphasis
to the pear.
This is a very fruit cocktail with a lot of flavor and a good amount of sweetness without
overdoing it.
So this is the recipe.
The pomegranate from capella even though its used at the same ratio with the pear, it doesn't
affect the taste much.
Pomegranate is a slightly weak flavor so here it helps to add a dark twist to the rest of
the fruits and help them all blend together better.
Same goes for the mashrmallow.
Since you will not taste it at all in this recipe, but what it will do is work in the
background to smooth things out.
The sweetener was lowered to 0.5% this time since most of the concentrates used here today
already contain enough ethyl Maltol as is.
So all together at a higher than usual total flavor of 14% you will have a
very nice and fruity eliquid to vape on.
All the fruits here work well with each other and none of them will stand out or overpower
the rest.
There will be a symphony of flavors all making one fruit taste together.
For steeping I will recommend only 3 days but you can experiment with that as always.
Now back to the review, Overall pear from flavourart is a very good and useful as you
can see flavor.
There is also an alternative which is equally good and that is the pear from Inawera, you
could try either one and both are excellent.
but if you want to use pear as a booster then in my opinion the flavourart version will
work better for that.
So that's all for this flavour today.
I hope this video helped you in any way.
Thank you for watching, and I will see you again next time.

BoAT Stone 200 Full Review - Duration: 5:58.
okay guys welcome to the review of the boats stone 200 Review unboxing so first of all if you
haven't seen the unboxing video just click on the I on the top or you can go
to my channel and click on the video let's talk about the build quality so
the speaker is very sturdy it has all four rubber corners and with some grip
on the side so that it does not move on the table so overall build of the
speaker is very rugged it has four buttons on the top then it has the aux
and charging port on the side of the speaker and there's a mount on the
bottom so if you want to mount your speaker somewhere you can do that the
looks of the speak speaker overall are very rugged and explosive it looks very
appealing when it comes to the portability of the speaker it is quite
portable comes with a rubber string which you can hold on to while you move
with the speaker you can clip it to something and just keep it hanging there
the speaker weights had 322 grams which is quite not that heavy but easy to
carry I got the speaker for a price of thousand rupees or whereas a mark is two
nine nine zero use the link in the description if you want to go ahead and
buy the speaker the Bluetooth range on this speaker is a little weak like when
I moved with the speaker to another room and my phone was in my room through a
wall it it started to lose connection but I think it will work fine within a
room the battery life on this speaker is amazing it came with a 70 percent out of
the box and after an hour of playback also at 80 percent volume it was still
at 70 percent I was quite shops and that the battery takes up 3 to 4 ash from
zero to charge up to maximum 100 and the speaker is also IP x5 waterproof
so that was all about the design and make of the speaker now let's get into
the functionalities and features of the speaker so first of all let's talk about
the connectivity it was easy to connect you just hold the power it does not have
any other like no one discoverable mode thing I don't know if that is thing and
then you can pair it with your device although if you have a device pair
already you need to disconnect that device before you can pair a new device
there's audio feedback which you get when you get connected to the speaker
although it's just beep and it's not a message spoken and like the board stone
thousand the speaker has aux connectivity which can be used to
connect your speaker to your phone or whatever device and the Chi Box cable is
included in the Box the speaker has one LED indicator on the front which is blue
when it notifies the power-on status and the connected status battery indicator
there is no battery indicator on the phone although my iphone shows me the
battery of the speaker on my phone the speaker does not come in with any NFC
you can only connect one device to the speaker at a time you cannot connect
multiple devices like like the JBL speaker you cannot connect two ports to
200 wirelessly but I guess you can connect two using the ox table which is
provided the speaker can also be used to take calls on the speaker directly we
just click the play button which also indicates that small telephone sign
you just click it and you can pick calls from it and from my experience the
calling feature was very clear the microphone does not take much of the
noise and the sound is very clear from the speaker now when it comes to music
you can change the songs you are holding the volume up volume down for next and
previous songs respectively you can pause the song which you want and that's
all for the sound control so that was all about the functionalities of the
speaker now let's talk about the sound quality of the speaker so if you want
some audio samples of the speaker you can click the link which appears on the
top right now it is the same unboxing video which also covers the sound
quality of the speaker so to do my review about the sound quality the
overall quality of the speaker is pretty good it is it gets pretty loud and fills
up the room very decently not too loud and it does not muscle too much when it
goes up to hundred percent volume the bass on the speaker is pretty good
excellent bass but there were some problems with the triple on the speaker
like the mids and lows they are not well separated from the bus they appear to be
like one channel which is not a problem if you're into hip-hop EDM music but if
you like listening to calm music and slow music
like country songs and the songs which involve a lot of guitars and normal
classical instrument then I will not recommend you this speaker one problem
with the sound is when you cover one side of the speaker it totally like it
blocks the sound completely so that's it for this video make sure you subscribe
to the channel and go check the unboxing video if you haven't seen thank you for
watching bye

Agorapulse Review 🔥 The all in one tool for social media management 😍 - Duration: 4:18.
- In this video, find out exactly what AgoraPulse does,
who should get it, why you should consider investing in it
and even maybe replacing some of your current tools.
Why it saves us a tonne of time
and also, why it blows Pete's socks off.
- I got cold feet now.
A wise old man called Ian Anderson Grey once told us
about AgoraPulse back in 2015
and we took his advice
and we got AgoraPulse three years later.
(laughing)
- And then we kicked ourselves for not getting it sooner.
- AgoraPulse is perfect for people that have social media
overwhelm and that was us, totally overwhelmed
because we have a policy of no tweet, mention or message
ever being left behind, but when you grow your audience
the right way, sometimes your notifications
can get a little cray, cray.
- Does that sound familiar?
Let us know in the comments.
- Now the problem with AgoraPulse
is that it does too bloody much,
we're calling it the ultimate social media tool
because seriously, it does freakin' everything
including feeding your cat.
- Mm Hmm.
- How do we cover all that in one succinct video?
- That sounds like a challenge.

Yoku's Island Express Review - All You Need to Know in Just 5 Mins! - Duration: 5:06.
hi everybody and welcome to get indie gaming and to our quickfire snapshot 5
minute review of yaku's island express that launched today may 29th across the
PC and all of the usual consoles as usual and for full disclosure we
received an advanced copy gifted to us by the publisher with the captured
footage here having been taken from the Nintendo switch fans of the channel will
know we're big fans of the metroidvania genre and there's no doubting we've been
spoiled for choice of late within the independent gaming world via the likes
of Al Boy steamworld thick - and Hollow Knight to name but a few while great fun
to play with each of these offering their own visual flair and artistic
direction and yaku's Island Express we have the delivery of a gaming mechanic
that's utterly fresh and unique that once again helps move the genre into an
entirely new direction villa gorillas trick with yokoo comes from the
implementation of a pinball inspired gaming experience where exploration and
boss battles as they can loosely be called come via the yellow and blue
colored flippers bumpers railings and tunnels that move you in your ball about
the playing surface from a story front you play as yaku a dung beetle recently
appointed to serve as postmaster on the idyllic island of maca Manu an island
you'll soon discover has a few problems that need taking care of
the controls are simple enough with a Nintendo switch version using the left
and right shoulder buttons to activate the flippers and the analog stick to
control your player character as you play you're constantly collecting fruit
which acts as the in-game currency to be spent unlocking hidden flippers to
enable you to gain access to new areas of the map luckily such fruit is
generally in plentiful supply and as you play your wallet expands to hold more
and more on the odd occasions where such items are lacking taking a few moments
within the game's more traditional static pinballing table sections is
usually all that's required to stock up on enough things to move forward like
every quality Metroid there are puzzle sections and areas of
platforming in this case via the pinball that are tricky and challenging
particularly towards the latter part of the game that all being said were not
talking a Celeste level of difficulty and in general the effort to challenge
ratio feels spot-on about 90% of the time one particular section involving a
number of ropes you have to chain together was one moment where the blood
pressure rose above what's comfortable in this area missing just one part of a
sequence has you falling back down the screen having to start it all over again
from the beginning which after a few attempts became somewhat tiresome while
for some the game might lack an overriding narrative for us that's not a
problem our time spent with yokoo while playing
alone or with others is perhaps best described as one long session of
wide-eyed smiles particular with younger players who seem to gel and find an
honest affinity with the NPC's and easy-to-follow dialogue one other thing
did we mention so far how cute this game looks and sounds the music is absolutely
fantastic ranging from a perfect Disney feature film soundtrack to the more
exotic jazz based sections we enjoyed perhaps a little bit too much oh I have
thrown some shapes across the living room while the on-screen action was at a
standstill aside from certain aspects on the
overall difficulty another slight criticism comes from having to go back
over the main routes to and from the island central hub which at times can
feel a tad stamie and repetitive unlike a usual platformer you can't simply make
your way through a complete exception here you need to replay the same table
multiple times and with some of the more tricky ones it can mean the game's flow
becomes disrupted as you fail to get the right angle off the flipper again and
again and again this slight issue is fully resolved once you unlock the super
wonderful beeline fast travel system this being yet another particular
highlight putting such small matters aside for us yaku's Island Express has
made its way into our top three games of the year so far while six or so hours
long there's room for more playtime if fancy going through the various sub
quests livering letters and opening all the treasure chests found throughout the
island i should be fairly clear we're more than happy to recommend this one to
anyone with an interest in the genre all those coming across this type of game
for the first time at its core we have a wonderfully
title that deftly execute against its premise with a wholly original gameplay
loop that remains fresh exciting and different right up until the endpoint
couple this with the aesthetic that's as cute as a button in yaku's Island
Express Villa gorilla have delivered a triumph that plays as well on the switch
in portable mode as it does while dr. your TV and for our money it's certainly
going to be one of the most delightful and enjoyable games of the year
and with that concluding our review here today we're really keen and interested
to see if you're planning on picking this one up if so please let us know in
the comments if you haven't already and want to see more of these type of snappy
5 minute reviews and why not subscribe and hit the notification bell to stay up

Isle of Dogs - Review (Spoiler Free) - Duration: 6:37.
Every so often, you find a film that you want to spread the word of so that everyone will see it,
even if they don't like it.
That's true of Isle of Dogs, but reviewing it feels especially futile.
I'm not implying you need to have seen some of Wes Anderson's films already,
though said fans should love it anyway.
No, the reason this review feels futile
in giving guidance as to whether the film is worthwhile or not is because the film is so weird, bizarre
and quirky that watching the trailer should be enough to tell you whether this is your cup of tea or not.
Still, it's not often we get an animated feature for adults that isn't of the Family Guy variety
of random, vulgar humour. Plus, if you watch these purely to hear
what I have to say, firstly, thanks very much, and second, you'll get what you wanted.
So, the scenario: in the near future, the Mayor of an anime-style Japanese city
uses a dubious outbreak of a disease for dogs to banish all canines to a trash island off the coast.
Within six months, not a dog's left on the mainland, and we get to meet a dominant pack of five,
all former household pets except their stray leader.
When the boy ward of the Mayor arrives looking for his own dog,
the leader is outvoted into helping him, and off they go.
This is intercut with subplots back in the city of a cure being found
alongside a transfer student uncovering the corruption you've probably already predicted.
This cannot be denied; it's a very busy film.
Sometimes too busy, and the material outside the titular Isle tends to sag in comparison.
It is tricky to say why this is such a weird, bizarre film, as so much of that comes down to the film's tone.
You've no doubt by now noticed how most shots are on flat planes, either directly behind, in front of, or
beside the characters. That exacting lateral camerawork is just the first Anderson trademark here, folks.
The film is as precise in its construction as can be, even if you normally never notice such things.
It almost makes the film an experiment in how completely every facet of a film can be managed,
and a very successful one at that.
None of this may seem that odd –
after all, everything in animation is precisely controlled and dictated to form the finished product.
The difference here is that this film calls attention to all that,
rather then using its construction simply as a tool to make art or entertain.
Not just in the images or cinematography either; this extends to the script and humour itself.
The humour is precisely controlled, and that means the film's comedy is absurdly bone-dry.
It's still funny, often so, just based more in patterns then absurdity.
This makes it more of a chuckle-inducer, though an excellent one at that, to my money.
Even if you don't care for dogs, simply knowing how canines and their society work,
and how they are raised, will get you there.
Now, all this precision does have a cost, which is that the film's emotional range is very limited,
based as it is on the close connection between a boy and his dog.
What I mean is thus: the world building in this film uses a lot of well-established cultural shorthands,
and the same applies for emotional shorthands to the emotional core.
So, dog owners will get a lot of subtext through minimal text.
Me, as a person who prefers dogs but doesn't own one, I was halfway there.
The effect is of a film that thinks it's touching, but isn't especially so outside of dog owners.
It's another example of how peculiar the film is,
for that to be a takeaway from a film whose title sounds like "I Love Dogs".
As regards the visuals, it's another stop-motion film that's very expansive and detailed
but not especially interested in realism, to its credit.
The humans have the feeling of wax carvings,
their skin showing their construction and manipulation in a way different from Aardman.
This is in direct contrast to the dogs, with the added realism of their fur gently whipping in the wind.
Any stop-motion animator will tell you that hair and fur that's actually made up of individual hairs
is a nightmare to get right.
Beyond the character designs and an intended stiltedness to the character animation itself,
there's the production design. You'd think a trash island would be visually dreary,
but they turn it into a grim fairytale land of expressive colours mixed with unreal design choices.
And the preciseness of the cinematography is perfectly suited to showing all this off
without it ever getting in the way, if you don't want it to.
The only other point worth making is whether the film has cultural appropriation or not.
Personally, I'm going to err on the side of that not being so.
The film's use of a future fictionalisation of Japan is no different then quite a few classic anime.
Then again, I'm not Japanese, however much I know about the culture, so feel free to dismiss that.
At the very least, I can't see this actively offending many.
It bears repeating again how precise and controlled this film is,
down to restrained though no less effective vocal performances,
and the blend of militaristic adventure music with Japanese-style orchestration in the score.
Thus, I come back to where I started.
If you think you'll dig this film, you almost certainly will.
If its brand of heightened quirkiness seems off-putting, it probably won't change your mind.
Like all Anderson films, repeat viewings are not only encouraged,
but nigh on mandatory, even if I'm content to wait a while.
But, even if you didn't really dig the film, there's still a fantastic pleasure in seeing a film so unique,
both in world building and comic tone.
If even a tenth of animated features were as idiosyncratic as this, well, that'd be the day, folks.
So, in a shakeup to the review format,
I'm going to port the scoreboard for the main videos over to these.
Hey, ranking is run. So what does the list say?
Yep, Isle of Dogs ranks ahead of Early Man. Being the Aardman fan I am, I'm very surprised,
but Early Man comes down to comfort food that isn't very memorable,
almost the opposite to this quirky tale that basically won me over.
I'll need a repeat viewing before I'm sure as to my opinion on Isle of Dogs,
but I don't think its placement will change.
As a side note, I may skip full-fledged reviews for some films if there isn't anything worthwhile to say,
or if they aren't worth watching as a reviewer, like some of the smaller studio fare,
though they'll still get added to the scoreboard. So don't expect a video on Sherlock Gnomes.
Anyway, after those two charming stop-motion films, looks like it's back to CG studio fare for the next few.
Not short on some choice words for some of them, though I'll hold it in for now.
Next, we have Incredibles 2, which no doubt many have been waiting on
as much as I've been waiting on the Wreck-It Ralph sequel. And I'm pretty excited too,
if a little cautious after the last few Pixar sequels. But you can bet I'll be checking it out!
I know the last few months were kind of a dormant period for the channel,
but after a recharge, I'm ready to return.
There's new content to come in the near future alongside what's come before,
but for now, thanks for watching.
Liking, commenting, subscribing, all that good stuff would really help spread the channel's reach,
as would some social media follows.
Either way, until next time, folks.

2010-2014 F150 LEX Motorsports Gen 3 Front Bumper Raptor Review & Install - Duration: 6:30.
LEX Motorsports Third-Generation Front Bumper is an awesome option if you're looking to
get one of the strongest and lightest replacement bumpers for your 2010 to '14 SVT Raptor.
This is one of the most aggressive-looking bull bar bumper combos we currently sell.
This heavy-duty guard bumper skid plate and bars will provide plenty of abuse during the
daily commute or off-roading.
The mesh built into this skid gate will provide adequate ventilation for the radiator and
engine.
The bumper also includes convenient mounting points for up to a 40-inch light bar and accessories.
I'm going to be giving this bolt-on bumper a one-out-of-three wrenches on the difficulty
meter, and expect the install to take about three hours until you're done.
This bumper features more of an open design, which offers a minimal look, as well as for
better airflow and low weight.
The overall design gives it more of a prerunner or trophy-truck-like look, once installed.
The bumper uses a tubular steel and precision-cut plate to keep it relatively light, but strong
where it's needed.
With a low-profile bull bar included into the high slant angle of the undercarriage
protection this provides, you should be able to tackle bigger obstacles on the trail work
site without damaging your front end at all.
I like that this bumper contours to your truck's body.
It's not as bulky or blocky as some of the other, more expensive options you see.
The slight curvature of the bumper not only looks good, but it actually will help push
away brushes and debris to the sides of your truck.
The bumper is designed to take a hit, and it is texturized black powder-coat finish,
that not only looks great, but provides protection for the steel underneath.
Powder-coating is a baked-on, instead of just a painted-on, process that can take plenty
of abuse.
Some of the less-expensive bumpers and bull bars out on the site might be simply painted
black, and those finishes may chip or crack over time.
The heavy-duty full-guard bumper comes in at just under $1300, which is about average
price for a protection bumper on a Raptor.
I think it's a great price for the versatile design that changes up the front look of your
truck and adds a ton of protection on- and off-road, as well as the mounting points for
different lights or a light bar.
This is a bolt-on design, and there's no drilling or cutting to your truck required.
All the hardware is included, to attach to your OE bolt holes.
Everything is included, was made of stainless steel to insure corrosion resistance.
Now, switching gears to the install, I gave this one-out-of-three wrenches on the difficulty
meter, and expect it to take about three hours for completion.
All right, for removal of the bumper, we're gonna be needing a simple ratchet and socket
set, and our first step is gonna be to pop the hood to gain access to a few bolts.
So, now, with your hood open, we have access to the bolts.
On a stock truck, you would have a shroud here, that you would just need to use like
an upholstery tool to pull out, but, since our truck has been worked on, we don't have
one right now.
Next, we're just gonna need an eight-millimeter socket to remove these bolts right here.
Your next step is going to be to remove your skid plate.
It's held on with stock 15-millimeter bolts.
So now we have our last two 15-millimeter bolts.
Just be careful.
When you're taking the last one out, this will drop down.
It's not too heavy, so you will be able to support it.
Just be careful.
So, now, the next step is going to be to remove the last four bolts that are holding the bumper
on.
They're gonna be 21 millimeter, and there's two located here and here.
Before removing the bumper from the frame, you're just gonna need a 10-millimeter socket
to remove the bolt for the hood latch.
So, now, everything's removed.
You're just gonna reach in and grab the bumper, and remove it off the frame.
Now, for the install of the bumper, we're gonna utilize
the four included bolts, and we're gonna bolt two in on the frame here, two in on the frame
here, and then we're gonna use two of the stock bolts for the skid plate, here and here.
And then you're gonna need a friend to lift the bumper up, to bolt it onto the truck.
So, now, with our bumper loosely in place, we're just gonna bolt in the skid plate.
Now, with your bumper fully secured, it's time to reattach the bracket for our hood
latch.
We're gonna use our eight-millimeter bolts that we took off.
Our bracket in place, now we're gonna secure the hood latch, and we're gonna use the 10-millimeter
bolt.
With your hood latched, that's gonna wrap up the install on LEX Motorsports Gen 3 Bumper.

Blood and Lace: Review - Duration: 6:12.
Go wash the liquor out of your breath. We've got a big day ahead of us.
Welcome back to my Dark Corner of this Sick World.
Blood and Lace opens with a murder, shot from the killer's point of view, showing the weapon itself.
Which must have seemed a clever way to build anticipation,
until you realise that given where the hammer is and the fact that it's held rigidly there,
the murderer must have had it taped to his chin until he needed it.
It's also surprisingly flammable.
The murder leaves young Ellie going to an orphanage.
'Ellie, you're still a minor'
This seems to be one of those rare orphanages that mostly caters to adults.
'I'm nearly 21.'
No you're not. But we'll forgive that, because it's run by Gloria Grahame who starred in The Big Heat.
'All that's in the past.'
And the man from social services says it's fine.
'I inspect that house myself, twice a year '
Really? Here's a kid trying to run away.
I feel like the inspections could be more rigorous.
Much more rigorous.
Poor kid.
'I'm thirsty'
'How long have you been up here?'
I'm still thirsty.
'What I don't know won't hurt me'
So we have a gory murder and an orphanage where kids are mistreated then frozen in the basement,
and where no one questions a man carrying a bloody sack with a hand hanging out of it.
'What are you doing Tom?'
'I'm working, go back upstairs Pete.'
'Okay don't get mad'
Then there's Gloria's husband.
'He's not living but that doesn't mean he's dead'
He just likes to do impressions of Norman Bates' Mum.
'That's a good comparison'
This is alongside the usual stresses of putting teenagers in a house together.
'He looks nice'
'He's also my boyfriend'
Oh they have something in common. I'm sure it will bring them closer
and if you thought Ellie had at least put that first murder behind her then Stop!
#Hammer time#
Blood and Lace is not badly made, Gloria Grahame is excellent
'You'll be punished for this Ellie'
And it's nowhere near as pervy as you might expect,
but I worry that any conclusion that ties together those disparate plot threads will be confusing.
A worry the director seems to have shared, cos they haven't bothered.
'You've got to see it to believe it'
Ellie escapes the inescapable orphanage.
'RUN!'
Really feels like the others weren't trying.
'We don't like kids to run away from our home'
She's pursued by the mysterious hammer-wielding man,
who is not the murderer; Ellie is
and the man....
'Calvin?'
'That's right Calvin.'
This is the policeman investigating the murder of Ellie's mother,
who has dressed up as Freddie Krueger's Grandad because he found the home suspicious
and thought the best way to investigate was to make Ellie think he was the man she murdered out for revenge,
prompting her to flee the home and forcing Gloria and Tom into action.
A brilliant plan.
'You're so clever Calvin'
That results in 3 deaths.
Though I don't think the policeman cares as his real objective is Ellie herself.
'I wanna marry you'
Who is his daughter.
(
'Well evil breeds evil honey. How about it?'
When I rehash it like this it sounds confusing, but actually it's pretty Scooby Doo,
what's confusing is why anyone would put these plotlines together.
'You sure got a strange way of doing things.
'Gloria's husband was one of Ellie's Mum's clients.
'And Jameson had found other beautiful women, women like your mother'
but this has nothing to do with the murder.
In fact the orphanage plotline and the murder plotline aren't related at all.
'That's ridiculous'
and the teen romance impacts on neither of them.
'Yeah, it's all there'
All of it; frozen kids, sex in the shed, hammer murders, incest -
it's all just shit that happens to Ellie
Although she did kill her Mum, so maybe it's a morality tale.
'You and your little slut can have each other I'm clearing out.'
Thanks for watching This film was recommended to us by patreon supporter Aidan Woodard. So thanks Aaden
The film is called blood and lace the blood we get
Why lace?
Any suggestions in the comments below?
But if you try to leave I'll have to report it to the sheriff.
