This brand-new series by a popular screenwriter is a pitch-perfect, contemporary comedy featuring twelve-year-old fraternal twins, Claudia and Reese, who couldn't be more different...except in their determination to come out on top in a vicious prank war! But when the competition escalates into an all-out battle that's fought from the cafeteria of their New York City private school all the way to the fictional universe of an online video game, the twins have to decide if their efforts to destroy each other are worth the price.

Told as a colorful "oral history" by the twins and their friends, and including photos, screenshots, chat logs, online gaming digital art, and text messages between their clueless parents, The Tapper Twins is a hilariously authentic showcase of what it's like to be in middle school in our digitally-saturated world.

Claudia Tapper is a normal girl with a normal brother. Usually the twins will argue, their mom and/or their dad will come in and put a stop to everything, somebody gets ice cream (Claudia) and somebody loses their Metaworld privileges (Reese). But one day everything changes. It might have been the pop tart. Or the Thailand food. But the twins do not care (okay, maybe a little bit). They declare war-who will win, Claudia ( a.k.a. Invisible Death ) or Reese  (a.k.a. The Soccer Idiot ).

Ah, Sibling Rivalry. Most of my viewers probably know what it is, unless they are an only child or their parents force them to get along scaringly well.

As a geek, I AM SO HURGING HAPPY THAT THEY INVOLVED VIDEO GAMES IN HERE!!! (So are most of the tomboys and the boys that read my blog, I'm assuming).

Farewell to pottermore

If you have ever read Harry Potter, you probably have heard of Pottermore too. And even if you haven't, I'm am truly sorry that you never experienced it.

Pottermore is still here, but it is not the version it used to be-not that it has bad content, it's just lacking most of it's best material.

It used to have not only fun wizarding duel and potion games, but scenes from the books and movies that you could explore, read about, and collect magical items from. And to top that off, you could get your own virtual wand, be sorted into your house, and compete for house points.

Even worse, some of you may had not read/watched all of the books/movies, and so you could not visit the animated scenes that were beyond you, and now you never will.

But on a good note, you can still read about certain things, just like in the original site. But other then that, pretty much everything is gone.

Maybe they will bring it back, but I seriously doubt it. So for now, can just remember the old and began the new.
