This is my bold statement for the week: Game Publishers are becoming abusive. The capitalist mandate, let’s take a yard even though our consumers granted us a inch, has morphed a once prosperous and forward thinking industry into something like the movie industry–cosmetic thrills and the gratification of a generation’s twitch-mind. I don’t even think [...]
These were the days when the human race hunted and gathered, so had healthier teeth than today’s pretentious post-modern society. While we have our iPhones, humor, trite pulp culture references, and cultural wildfires such as the Harlam Shake, the protocivilizations of yesterday had perfect teeth. I’d suggest that maybe we should all grab a bundle [...]
What happened was a writer in my fiction circle shares this story that sparks a reaction from a few of the other members. The story that we had read was about a love triangle–nothing elegant like Gatsby loves Daisy and Daisy loves Gatsby and Tom hates Gatsby but also loves Daisy and Daisy still loves [...]
The best way to describe the European Union at this point is as a super-conservative parent obsessed with the sex lives of its children. For preposterous reasons, which I will stab with a spork in a few paragraphs, don’t fret, the European Union is voting “on a proposal that could lead to a blanket [...]
I don’t know what is up with the mobile video game market’s obsession with pixel style games. It could be that developers who lack the big budget to produce visually fancy games (Infinity Blade or Ravensword 2) utilize the retro look because it isn’t as resource intensive. Maybe it’s a trend…a fad that’ll (I slightly [...]
In December 2006, Canada legalized same-sex marriage after a lengthy and arduous battle between Egale Canada, an LGBT organization, and the conservative fibres of the nation. Prior to legalization, the so-called heart of the LGBT issues stood in the Canadian spot light and the goal to be accomplished, same-sex marriage, became the “pot [...]
This is how I imagine the future of our dear moon. Flying through space. Cold and alone, yet in the company of good-spirited planets as well as hostile ones. And an unknown fate. Though, I do not imagine the moon infected with common cold. Eyes swollen. Snot dangling from its nose. And propelling itself through [...]
Utopium is the in-app currency in Pixel People, which is used for city upgrades, decorations and buildings. It’s most important use, I think, is speeding up wait times. In the later stages of your city’s growth, you will have to wait 10+ minutes for a clone to arrive and 24 hours for a building to [...]
Being a despiser of cats, Hackycat by Ken Wong is the perfect game for me because I can kick cats without repercussions. I blame my vile disposition towards cats on Reddit’s constant whoring of the animals as being cute, cuddly and gentle (we all know cats are evil, right?) because I refuse to conform to [...]
For the longest time I’ve wanted to write an article on the ethics of critiquing fellow writers’ fiction and non-fiction pieces. Despite our sensitive nature, critiquing is a valuable process we should all internalize to better other writers’ works as well as developing our critical skills when examining our own work. A critique which doesn’t [...]
