Tail Towns Friends Review and Giveaway


Facebook games have grown so much in several years that half of facebook logins are just for games. Do I believe this is true? Actually, I do! I play a few facebook games and more than half of my friends are just for games. Some friends have two to three accounts to play these games! Some just make a facebook account just for that and they don't have a personal account.

70% of facebook gamers are women! Do I agree with that? I would be lying if I said no. Since I play a few games on facebook I see a lot of men playing along side of me, BUT way more women are my friends then men. You ask, 'Why is that?'. Tell, tell ya the truth, I have no idea! All I know is from experience. I have older women and younger women who play along side of me and mostly older men playing along side of me. I really don't see the younger men playing facebook games.

We plug ourselves into a fantasy world for a moment, just to release ourselves from the world. That, in my opinion, is what I think is being done and why we are so engrossed in games, either on facebook or off. It's everywhere!

Now, since I got that of my chest, let's get on to Tail Towns Friends facebook game. This game is in beta as of right now, but you will love this game! It's the normal, everyday facebook game. There are quests to follow and a story to follow as well. I played it for a little bit this morning and I've gotta tell ya, it's pretty neat to see something a bit different. We, the players, are mice in this game, instead of "humans", which I think is fantastic!

Like most facebook games, Tail Town Friends is free to play. The graphics in this game are amazing, so crisp and life like. What is so cool about the story line is, it's a juicy one! It's almost soap opera like! If you like game that are drama filled, this is the one for you! You are also, able to create your own "country getaway" in this game. Imagine the way you would want your new land to look like, away from us city folk and be tuned into the country side!

Tail Towns Friends Figurines! Yep they have em! Register a Tail Towns figurine to get the character’s storyline of humor and drama that gives you insight into his/her secret life in Tail Towns. Each figurine rewards you with an exclusive super ornate specialty décor virtual item that provides daily rewards. How cool is that?

Who wants a giveaway to win one of these figurines? OH I thought so...!

AutoInsuranceEZ.com Review

When I reached this website, just to adventure around to see what they had, I was skeptical. Brand new site, not really knowing what they did. But, they proved me wrong! This is a real nifty site. You have the choice of entering your zip code or select your state and then select your closest city. After you do that, it will give you results of insurance companies in your area to get free instant quotes! The site even has a section to let you know what the minimum insurance requirements you need in each state. Everything is right there at your fingertips! No more searching elsewhere for hours on end!

The site is very easy to navigate, in my honest opinion. Everything is right there on the home page, so no searching the site. Everything seems to work very well and page load time is super fast. They also have a blog tab as well, which is pretty cool. It updates you on insurance news. You can even choose your state, to get more in-depth news. The only thing I do not like about the blog area is you have to scroll down to the bottom to get back to the main site. I think the site should have it at the top for easier navigation, for those who are not that internet savvy.

The reviews part of the site is very very helpful. Gives you a bigger insight of the company you may be looking to do business with. Unfortunately, I was sort of lost when I landed that page. For one, the links to the review site is on the sidebar. For two, it says to compare companies, instead of read companies reviews. I think it would be much simpler if the page said more on the lines of compare companies reviews. Just something to show the user on the other end why they are there in the first place. Second, I truly believe the company list should be up top the page. For an experienced internet user, they would have a very difficult time understanding where to look.

The car insurance guide is great! It's great for those of us, who don't really understand insurance. The guide answers questions of what, why, how and where. Every question you have is there and if you haven't thought of a question, because you didn't think you had any, you surely will find that questions will arise when you read the guide! Yet again, the navigation area in on the right side bar. I believe the navigation should be put at the top.

Mirror Mirror Review

A FRESH AND FUN MOTION PICTURE ON THE SNOW WHITE LEGEND



Review:

I simply loved this movie!  It was funny and silly.  This is the perfect movie to watch with your children, because the movie is not scary like the way snow white is meant to be.  This movie is a Laugh out Loud kinda movie.  Julia Roberts plays the perfect mean queen, even if she has never played a role of a villain.  She does a swell job!

Info on the movie:

With Magical Extras and Special Features,
Enjoy the Classic Tale Retold on Blu-ray and DVD June 26

Directed by visionary filmmaker Tarsem Singh (Immortals), MIRROR MIRROR is a visually-spectacular, fresh and funny retelling of the classic Snow White legend. This family comedy features a star-studded cast including Academy Award®-winner Julia Roberts as the evil Queen, breakout star Lily Collins (The Blind Side) as Snow White, Armie Hammer (The Social Network) as the Prince, and Golden Globe® nominee Nathan Lane as the hapless bungling servant to the Queen. The film also stars Sean Bean (Game of Thrones) as the King and Mare Winningham (Brothers) as Baker Margaret and showcases the stunning costumes from Academy Award®-winning designer Eiko Ishioka (Dracula).

The Blu-ray includes sparkling extras including a behind-the-scenes featurette, a toe-tapping dance-along to the reworked Nina Hart song “I Believe in Love” performed by the film’s Collins that plays over the end credits, interactive digital storybook, deleted scenes and much more.

MIRROR MIRROR tells the story of Snow White (Collins), a princess in exile and the evil Queen (Roberts) who ruthlessly rules her captured kingdom. Seven courageous rebel dwarfs join forces with Snow White as she fights to reclaim her birthright and win her Prince in this magical comedy filled with jealousy, romance, and betrayal that will capture the hearts and imaginations of audiences the world over. The film is produced by Bernie Goldmann (300), Relativity’s Ryan Kavanaugh (The Fighter) and Brett Ratner (Rush Hour franchise). MIRROR MIRROR’S screen story was written by Melisa Wallack and the screenplay was written by Marc Klein and Jason Keller.
MIRROR MIRROR was theatrically-released by Relativity Media and will be available on Blu-ray and DVD June 26 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment.
