[Released] Labyrinth of Evil: The Hunt for Darth Sidious (Audiobook Turned into An Audio Drama)
Time

Labyrinth of Evil can also refer to HAL’s ROTS. An audiobook of such a thing would have this as an excerpt

“That it was all you. Is you.
Only you.
You did it.
You killed her.
You killed her because, finally, when you could have saved her, when you could have gone away with her, when you could have been thinking about her, you were thinking about yourself…
It is in this blazing moment that you finally understand the trap of the dark side, the final cruelty of the Sith—
Because now your self is all you will ever have.That it was all you. Is you.
Only you.
You did it.
You killed her.
You killed her because, finally, when you could have saved her, when you could have gone away with her, when you could have been thinking about her, you were thinking about yourself…
It is in this blazing moment that you finally understand the trap of the dark side, the final cruelty of the Sith—
Because now your self is all you will ever have.
And you rage and scream and reach through the Force to crush the shadow who has destroyed you, but you are so far less now than what you were, you are more than half machine, you are like a painter who has gone blind, a composer gone deaf, you can remember where the power was but the power you can touch is only a memory, and so with all your world-destroying fury it is only droids around you that implode, and equipment, and the table on which you were strapped shatters, and in the end, you cannot touch the shadow.
In the end, you do not even want to.
In the end, the shadow is all you have left.
Because the shadow understands you, the shadow forgives you even though the shadow lied to you about Padme being dead, the shadow gathers you unto itself, knowing that the woman he loved and the child he’d never meet would reject you, and the promise of power is why.—
And within your furnace heart, you burn in your own flame.
This is how it feels to be Anakin Skywalker.
Forever…”

Super Mario Bros. 3 while still a good game is overrated. The complete lack of a save feature when other NES games of similar length or shorter had one means that it’s very easy to lose lots of progress. Super Mario Bros. 2 is the best of the NES Mario games in my opinion.

A few reviews . . (film or TV)
Time

Gone With the Wind (1939)

1 star out of four

Scarlett O’Hara is just as manipulative and self-centered as Bella Swan, and just as unsympathetic. Speaking of unsympathetic, the rest of the white cast is fine with owning slaves, and Rhett is abusive to Scarlett. The only saving graces are the cinematography and some of the sets. Might very well be one of the most overrated films out there. The Oscars made a huge mistake when they gave this Best Picture.
