For instance, there are fantasy games out there that include characters, settings and experiences that are impossible to find in the real world. This can be a great way to escape from reality for a little while and Read more…

Code Geass is Japan’s Answer to Lost

January 23rd, 2013

Taking place in a not-so distant future where the world is almost entirely ruled by the Britanian Empire, Japan has become the latest conquest. Stripped of its name and simply called “Area 11″ the people are subjugated and made to serve their masters.

That is, until a brilliant child prodigy by the name of Lelouch becomes inadvertently embroiled in a battle between Britanian soldiers and Japanese terrorists. After a short firefight, Lelouch encounters a strange girl, the object the two sides were fighting over, and receives the power of the King – the ability to mind control anyone he looks at.

To go into it further would be spoiling the overall experience that Code Geass has to offer.

You have Lelouch, but he is just one complex character of over a hundred that take center stage in this sprawling epic. Every character is brought to life, possessing their own agendas that sometimes clash with our protagonist’s and sometimes compliment.

You never really know who is betraying who until the final move is made and someone is either defeated or outright killed. It’s an anime that requires tremendous patience and focus, but if you could handle Lost, you can most certainly handle this and it’s worth a watch.

Hit up the video store or see if you can find it on iTunes. If all else fails, check your Direct tv channel guide or your local listings and see if it’s playing. If you like anime, this is definitely something you don’t want to miss.

Plays: From Ancient Greece to Modern Broadway

July 8th, 2012

The history of plays goes back many years. In fact, it goes back all the way to the earliest days of the Greeks, who, in their love of art, architecture, drama and music, formed a conglomeration of the four. This became what we know as modern drama much later on.
The evolution of plays, however, is much more in depth. When the Greeks were performing, they often did it in very minimalist settings. Often times, Read more…

Books: From the Page to Your Imagination

July 5th, 2012

Today we live in a high speed internet visual universe. Information is available in multiple formats,in vibrant colors and sounds, and from every culture on earth.
