I could only get through the first chapter before setting this down. It has flowery awkward old English which I will avoid from now on.

An man works to undermine his brother’s happiness by meddling with his son’s marriage. Also two smart people dual with words.
A pretty good book, though my reading of the Signet Classic was seriously interrupted by footnotes. Not because of the shifting up/down to read them, but because the footnotes are crammed all together. Given that this book is 1/4 commentary, axing one for clearer footnotes would have been amazing. Maybe another edition will be better. I intend to collect many of this particular play.
I highly recommend Much Ado About Nothing – (1993 movie), even for those who have no interest in this book.

Slash a things and miss a lot. Get hit a lot. Uninstall.
What a shit fighting system. With a fundamental flaw as glaring as this, there’s no way in hell I’ll play this.

A space expansionist 4x game.
The interface is generally sucky, making it hard to figure out what’s going on.

A spoiled little girl loses her rich parents and is sent away to live with her reclusive heartbroken (rich) relative.
The story is fairly awful to me, though I can see how this was popular at the time. It has definitely aged, not just in its period but in its language and writing style.
I’ll class this as “liked”, but I only see this as being good for historical reasons and wouldn’t recommend it. I’ll also class this as child-friendly, except it’s child-friendly in its context: A parent reading to their child in the early 1900s.
NOTE – My cover is different – TODO – photograph it

Do not watch this! Instead watch the fan edit Star Wars Episode I.II – The Phantom Edit – (2000 movie). Even at its much lower quality it’s head and shoulders above this movie.

A tower defense game, but with tanks and more upgrading.
I tried the demo and didn’t give it much of a chance. For example, I didn’t customize units. I prefer the more sandbox-style of Gratuitous Space Battles.

Something about a crime and lawyers and a court and stuff, but with racism.
Not my thing.

A rather quirky, authentic, band/singer. She sings about all the things she’s not.
Fronted by Marina Diamandis, hence the name.
