Exploring The Betrayal (Part 3)

I meant to get started on this part much sooner. But life has been pretty busy as revrezner is still recovering from his back surgery. He's doing better but he still needs my help. I'm also dealing with the fact that something is putting pressure on my brain and causing the effects of vertigo. So, all in all, this year has been a lot more stressful than I thought it would be.

I hope that everyone reading this is doing much better than I'm feeling.

Now let us get back to reading The Betrayal by R.L.Stine!

Changes (Mini-Review)

Changes is the twelfth book in Jim Butcher's The Dresden Files series. Harry Dresden is shocked to find out that he had a child with Susan Rodriquez. He is then horrified to learn that his daughter has been captured by the vampires of the Red Court. So he has no other choice than to rescue her. But what cost will Harry end up paying?

Fieldworks 7

Paid Promotion
Jak lives with his grandfather in the production “community” of Fieldworks 7, one of many such facilities in the country of Greater California. One day Jak ventures into a previously unnoticed basement in their shack. He finds the “deep time tapes,” revealing knowledge that has been suppressed and hidden for perhaps centuries. The tapes tell of the Truth Wars, of how disinformation from websites such as Factbook and Truthbook helped destroy the world: among many other revelations.

News of Jak’s discovery finds its way to the wrong people.

Chased across the country of Greater California by the Truth Police (a paramilitary group set up long ago), Jak finds hope in groups of people he thought were only legend, the Wanderers, peoples who have never lived in a Fieldworks community.

Jak’s quest for Truth and survival costs him more than he could have ever imagined.

Exploring The Betrayal (Part 2)

Friday I saw the final Fear Street movie on Netflix. One of the reasons it became dear to my heart was the same-sex relationship between Deena Johnson and Sam Fraser. Their relationship was handled so well and is the cornerstone of Netflix's Fear Street Trilogy.

I know that there are going to be differences between the origins stated in The Betrayal and Fear Street Part 3: 1666. The main relationship isn't going to be between two women and there's probably going to be some major differences with the curse.

So let's continue with The Betrayal by R.L.Stine!

Monika: One and Many

Doki Doki Literature Club was released in 2017. It didn't seem like anything more than a standard visual novel where you're able to choose which of three eligible girls to date. There was a warning about disturbing content but that didn't adequately prepare players for exactly what they were getting into.

Instead of a simple dating simulation, players were treated to a story about how the character Monika gained sentience and hacked the game so she could date the player. Yep, not the protagonist but you. Of course that's only the very tip of the iceberg of the complex lore behind the game.

Exploring The Betrayal (Part 1)

Welcome to a brand new series that hopefully won't die a silent death! The Exploring series will focus on me going through various books chapter by chapter. Sometimes the books will be ones I have read in the past while at other times the books will be new to me. The Exploring series will be in the same general vein as my Animorphs Re-Read one.

If you're wondering why I stopped that series: I can't remember exactly. I just know that at a certain point it became tedious for me to get new entries out and I was doing other projects concerning the Animorphs series. So I guess since it just seemed unneeded at a certain point, I stopped it.

So what will be the first book I tackle?

Successor of Magic

Na’va never knew of the world as it was in the days without magic, or the before time when it was held by even the most audacious of wielders. The scars of a past misuse of what has now become a limited resource still etch their way across the county. Strongly regulated by the Serator Authority, the use of magic has become both a right of passage, as well as a closely guarded privilege.
