Back in the day, BioWare was known for bringing original concepts to life in the gaming medium. With titles like Baldur’s Gate, Neverwinter Nights, MDK2 and Jade Empire, we can see that risks were taken in the old days, and that the company was willing try new things, whether they succeeded or not, so long…
The utopian future was one of the most prevalent sci-fi concepts from the 1950s all the way until around the late 70s and early 80s. Notice I said “sci-fi,” not “future.” As we all know, apocalypse has pretty much been on most people’s minds since the atomic bombs dropped. However, science fiction gave us an…
It’s about 4:30 is the morning as I’m finishing this story. It’s not the next Path to Nowhere, but I think you’ll enjoy it a lot. I just started writing and ran with it. So, HERE IT IS! (Again, in case you guys didn’t get the memo, you have to CLICK the “HERE IT IS” bit to…
“Terrigood”: not awful, but not fantastic either. To be honest, it might be a bit of a low rating for this particular film, but you’ll be able to see my final score soon. Ender’s Game is based on the critically acclaimed novel by Orson Scott Card. It’s very dear to me. If you’ve read my…
“I must have done it for a good reason…” -Unidentified G:E:O Suit driver, D-23-23-02: retrieved log 88727 Kickstarter, GoFundMe, Indiegogo, these are places where the unknown come together to make a difference. We are the unknown, the faceless, the unsung heroes. With crowdfunding, we don’t need the credit. If we get any, it doesn’t have…
The Wolverine, directed by James Mangold, was, to me, a surprisingly good movie, especially since I stayed after the credits and got a taste of what was to come in the X-Men universe. My hopes have only grown since the release of the new trailer for X-Men: Days of Future Past, which will have director…
Before Avatar, there was Star Wars. Before Star Wars, there was 2001: A Space Odyssey. Before 2001, there was Star Trek. Before Star Trek, there was The Outer Limits. Before The Outer Limits, there was The Twilight Zone, and before that, finally, there was the radio in your living room. You and your entire family…
I awaited the release of Star Wars: The Old Republic for over two years. Much of that time was spent listening to the greatest podcast I’ve ever heard, which later became the lamest podcast I’ve ever heard, which from there became an “all right” to “decent” podcast, ultimately surpassed by other shows which I didn’t…
Yes, we are calling it Friday Fiction. Yes, it sounds kind of unimaginative. If you come up with a better title for this, leave it in the comments below. We’re happy to hear your suggestions and act based on them. Yes, this particular installment features the first part of a series, which will continue to…
Quantic: a homogeneous function of two or more variables having rational and irrational coefficients. Dream: a series of thoughts, images, and sensations occurring in a person’s mind during sleep, or, a cherished aspiration, ambition, or ideal. Quantic Dream’s Heavy Rain is a drama. It’s a video game, but a drama nonetheless. It tells a mysterious story with…
Orson Scott Card’s philosophical sci-fi thriller, Ender’s Game, is one of the most riveting, exciting, thought-provoking, powerful books I’ve ever read. Tears flowed as the ending came, revealing that this story wasn’t just about fighting aliens and saving the world, but about love, communication, and understanding. I’ve ranked it up there with Ray Bradbury’s…
