How To Train Your Dragon

How to Train Your Dragon is another favourite animated feature film of mine just because its dragons and vikings trying to get along.

I also love the character designs for the dragons because they remind me of really big dogs, but I like how many dragons can have very different abilities such as one of the dragons has two heads which can create gas from one head and a spark from the other head which when put together will create a massive fireball. Another dragon that I love is, of course, toothless ( the night fury) because of the way he  acts around hiccup and other people for example when hiccup start falling for the girl, toothless get jealous or angry, which gives him human like emotions.

How To Train Your Dragon also has some cool facts/goofs about it like how toothless has a combination of various sounds, including the voice of supervising sound designer Randy Thom, elephant seals, elephants, horses, tigers, and even domestic cats. another cool thing is that when the hesitation toothless shows during the famous 'touch' scene was actually an animation error, however, it looked so perfect that the animators chose to leave it in the film.

Borderlands 2

 Borderlands 2 is in my opinion is one of the best visually landscape designs, because compared to other games it has a cel-shaded art style which means that the look of the game is cartoonish but very violent as well. One of the great things about this game is the amount of choses you have by choosing which character you want to play as (there are six to choose from), and that amount of guns, shields, grenades, and class modes you can have is insane.

Another thing I love about this game is the character designs because of the amount of detail on them and just how crazy you can dress them up with like Mindcraft heads (the game has many easter eggs) etc. The characters are very unique and have different abilities so you can play through the story many times without getting board. One of my favourite characters is Tiny Tina just because she's a 13 year old bad ass who's a little bit crazy as well and who also has creative ways of killing bandits (the enemies of the game).
