As I look into this supposed “pro-Hamas” letter controversy, I find a handful of oddities.
Ahmaud Arbery – Prosecution and Defense Opening Statements – Day One
Human Behavior, Politics, Social IssuesI recall a lot of confusing information being broadcast when this awful event happened. Of course, not everything we heard was accurate, so this is a good chance to clear up some things.
Life in Hell
Gaming, Graphic Arts, Human Behavior, Performance Arts, Social Issues, TechnologyWords fail me… as is customary with this series. And as always, the statements to follow will not be devoid of spoilers. I always want to ask: what are they saying exactly? What is the message behind the scenarios they are portraying? There’s a deliberate purpose behind almost every action in a work of art […]
That Play We Call Life
Gaming, Graphic Arts, Literature, Personal Computers, TechnologyI admit, this series was a little hard for me to appreciate at first. It is a significant departure from the initial storyline which bended reality and had a more superhero feel to the whole thing. In Life is Strange: Before the Storm, you are immersed in real life. It was hard for me to […]
Perpetual Damage Control
Politics, Social Issues As Maddow aptly concludes, this conversation will be closely studied in the present and future, if not directly shown to journalism students. I really think this is one of the most important dialogues between the US left and right since The Great Divide, we’ll call it, aka. The 2016 Election. If Republicans were thinking […]
The Sea of Red: The Future of the Democratic Party

Life is Moon, Or, To The Strange
Gaming, General, Graphic Arts, Human Behavior, Literature, Social Issues, TechnologyI have been at a loss for words for the past few months. Since completing the series, my mind has been in a state of stasis—frozen in uncertainty after being bombarded by an amalgam of ideas that I have encountered many times before in many other stories, histories, and re-tellings, but simply not in this […]
Life is the Darkest of Rooms
Gaming, Graphic Arts, Human Behavior, Literature, Social Issues, TechnologyJust when I had gathered the pieces of myself back together after being hit to death in the ol’ future head by Episode 3, I instantly became re-dismantled by the subsequent adventure, rather aptly named The Dark Room. This is where things take a turn for the worst and our inner demons begin to emerge. […]
Life: Thrower of Curveballs
Gaming, Graphic Arts, Human Behavior, Social Issues, TechnologyWow… it took a moment to collect myself. This is one extraordinary adventure and well-deserving of all its accolades. Max Caufield is a modern day Holden Caulfield, which I’m sure is exactly what they were going for, what with that “Catcher in the Rye”-looking poster back there. The scenarios that one experiences in this game […]
