    I’ve been meaning to play Gone Home for what feels like forever, and today I finally sat down to play through it in one sitting, which is how I think you should play this game (and it’s very doable, at about 90 minutes). I found myself really enjoying the experience, and especially dug the music…

    I’m going to be going against the grain I think, by saying that I wasn’t really that crazy about this movie. I can appreciate that it’s well made, but it just wasn’t something that I found myself enjoying. In fact, I started watching it a while back, and then it took until now to finally…

    It’s with great pleasure that I can announce that from next week, I’ll be taking on the role of production coordinator at Ubisoft here in Montreal. Following the defeat of Shinra, it’s been an interesting month of exploration, and I’m incredibly excited for this new challenge. Although it’s technically the same role that I had…

    As I said, I was on the lookout for some new anime to watch the other day, and when I got to checking out a list of shows currently airing (here), this only series that sounded interesting to me was Boku Dake ga Inai Machi (the English title is Erased). I immediately checked out the…

    The other day I mentioned on Twitter that I was feeling the itch to watch some new anime, and when I mentioned this to my wife, she recommended (again) that I watch Puella Magi Madoka Magica (Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magika). My wife doesn’t really watch much anime, especially new stuff, but this was a series that…

    I ended up watching this last week after my wife started watching it. Like I said in my Crimson Peak post, I don’t find myself getting the urge to watch horror movies a lot these days, but I can still have fun watching one. This wasn’t bad, but I felt like the “twist” (which I won’t…

    I quite liked this. Sure, I’m a fan of Guillermo del Toro’s work, but I’ve found myself being less into horror movies of late, and so this wasn’t something that was particularly high on my list of things I wanted to watch. But this felt more like a ghost story than pure horror – sure…

  • Rival Books of Aster

    I am absolutely falling in love with a new collectible card game on iOS called Rival Books of Aster that just came out (although it seems like it’s currently only available in the Canadian App Store). The gameplay is sort of a cross between Hearthstone and Magic: The Gathering, while still feeling original. The first…

    I’ve read the comic series from the very beginning, and only decided to stop reading following the release of last month’s #150 – I’d been growing bored of the series, but I might revisit it later on through trades. As for the TV show, I’ve liked it on and off, but had stopped watching it…

    I love the Costume Quest games from Double Fine dearly, and I’m a big fan of Zac Gorman’s work. Combine the two for a graphic novel? Yeah, this is a really great book that tells an original story based on the world and characters from the games. If you like the games, you’ll absolutely love…
