With over 40 books in the series, spanning different timelines and groups of characters, there is always somewhere new to explore on the Discworld.<br \/>\nThe series takes place in a fantasy world on a disc shaped planet that rests on the back of a giant turtle who is flying through space. \u201cDiscworld\u201d is filled with wizards, adventures, Death and more. The series even contains books explaining the science behind the exciting and complex world.<br \/>\nWith so much in the \u201cDiscworld\u201d series to explore, it\u2019s worth it to give it a try and check it out.<\/p>\n<p>Editor\u2019s Disparagement:<\/p>\n<p>I recently bought the popular strategy game \u201cThis War of Mine.\u201d The game is set in a modern day besieged city, where survivors inside must search for supplies, eat and avoid sniper fire from enemies outside the city limits.<br \/>\nWhile the game is challenging and sometimes fun, the harsh realism and dark art style make for a unenjoyable experience. There\u2019s a difference between playing a dark game and playing a game that just puts you in a terrible mood for the rest of the day.<br \/>\nThe art style also focuses primarily on the color black, which gave me a headache after a while.<br \/>\nIf you\u2019re in the mood to feel terrible, \u201cThis War of Mine\u201d is for you. Otherwise, almost any other game is happier.<\/p>\n<p>Contact the author at anewton15@wou.edu<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By: Ashton Newton Entertainment Editor Editor\u2019s Recommendation: Terry Pratchett\u2019s \u201cDiscworld\u201d book series is the perfect thing to get completely absorbed in.
