Whenever I read a good book or watch a great movie, I always want to let everyone know about them. So, here are reviews of different things that have caught my fancy over the years.
One of the best feature of the Nintendo Wii is that you can play any of the older Nintendo GameCube games. You can often find second-hand GameCube games, so it’s an great way to build-up your game selection at an affordable price. I also think that the higher-quality GameCube games are actually better-looking and more fun to play than most Wii games. So here are my favourites!
The launch of the long awaited season 3 of the web video comedy You suck at Photoshop is a boon to all would-be Photoshop jockeys and comedy aficionados. It also heralds a bright new age in crazed online learning with the launch of Big Fat University.
A rare mix of literature, wit, history and high adventure, the Aubrey/Maturin novels (better known for "Master and Commander", the first novel and the name of the 2003 movie adaptation) has been by far one of my favourite reading experience and a consistent way to lift my (occasionally) sagging spirits.
One my favorite web video series, Zero Punctuation is a weekly video game reviews created by comedy writer Ben “Yahtzee” Croshaw and produced for online magazine The Escapist. Yahtzee’s hilarious animated reviews are fast-paced, expletive-laden and viciously rude. But most of all, his relentless quest for quality in such a crud-infested industry is both entertaining and inspirational.
In this entertaining TED conference Scott McCloud summaries his theories about comics from his two ground-breaking books Understanding Comics (2003) and Reinventing Comics (2000).
Through these two greatly entertaining novels, McMurtry chronicles the adventures of Gus McRay and Woodrow Call before the events described in Lonesome Dove. We follow their progression from their first hapless missions as junior Texas Rangers up to their retirement from rangering as seasoned and highly-effective veterans of a grueling series of Indian wars.
A hard, moody, sumptuous, techno-rock barrage of heavy riffs from a 6-member all-guitar & bass band, propelled by the incredibly powerful voice of Béatrice Bonifassi and the energetic direction and keyboard magic of Maxime Morin – alias DJ Champion.
