In Which Civilization has a SimCity moment, a bad omen

Hello there, my good friend, kind reader of this post! Happy Friday! Hopefully another beautiful day, maybe we should indeed give it the benefit of the doubt! How are you, my friend? How have you been? I have not write much these days, alas... It is that thing of having some stuff in my head but not being able to take them out to my satisfaction. I mean, we could as well be seeing the collapse of the Civilization franchise, for example. I think I wrote it before here, that I am not optimistic about this title, that their heart (if at all) is in the wrong place for this entry... I could smell the miasma, but now it is clear: reality is even worse than the predictions and projections of before. The Steam consensus, this morning, got as low as 33%, an absolute catastrophic number for the franchise, it is a snapshot of the bad User Interface, the lack of customisation on the game, its mechanics ossifying the main building, or ot is what is implied on even the milder of reviews.

Song of the week: In which we take a trip to the 80's and Flashdance!

Happy Friday everyone! It's that really nice day of the week everyone's expecting to come, it is here, finally, so let's celebrate! As for me, it is really good to be at last having some vacations, the best part of it is everyday of the week feels like Friday, or even better, Saturday! But what is even better than Friday/Saturday? Have a day like these ones on a Tuesday or Wednesday! The break from the routine is the best part indeed! But enough about days and weeks and all of that, let's have some music!
As I said, I was thinking about having Friday as the "Song of the week" day, it's nothing really settled in the schedule, but so far Friday it is! Last week, we had the very subtle song "Secret" by Madonna, of her 90's album "Bedtime Stories"! Today, we'll go further on the throwback and we'll make a quick visit to the 80's!
In this month, I've been watching some movies from this very flamboyant decade that I really love - and in fact I should write about it in the future! I watched "Can't Buy Me Love" with young Patrick Dempsey, a really nice movie, and this Tuesday I finally managed to see one I've been wanting to check for quite a while now but never had the will to go forward with it, until now: The classic hit "Flashdance", with Jennifer Beals! It's a very interesting motion picture with an EXTRAORDINARY soundtrack!!!!!!! I just love the 80's so much musically, and I could make a whole series of posts talking just about it, but for today just wanted to highlight my favorite tune from the movie! Ready? Here it is:


Imagination by Laura Branigan is a song that really caught me! Loved the rhythim of it and the whole synthpop vibe of the 80's is something that never fails to please me! I really should look for more by Laura, if her other tunes are like this one, she may become one of my favorites of 2018! And if you don't have Spotify, here's the Youtube link to it:

And that's it for today! Just love sharing the songs I like with you all! Hope your week is being fantastic so far! Thank you for reading this! See you soon!
