Introducing the Meta Scenario Sounds like a pretty kool title, right?! Well it is, so you are right. Recently, I have been playing games that have required something a little more than a normal game. These are sometimes games I have played before and sometimes they are completely new games. […]
The Fuse Those who know me (and anyone who reads these articles) knows that I have a deep abiding love of Ed Brubaker’s writing. In large part, this is because Brubaker takes a genre which I tend to have relatively little interest in (crime/noir) and brings such depth and intensity […]
Gojira and Tesseract On Friday, 14 October 2016, I saw Gojira and Tesseract perform. I am not super familiar with Tesseract, but I do enjoy what I have heard and their performance was very good. Unfortunately, Gojira’s performance is hardwired into my head and that is going to be the […]
Continuing in the vein of parasocial interactions and our investment in fictitious characters, we can see the gradation of involvement in those avatars and how much we identify with them.

The Holographic Principle A Look at the new Epica album There were three albums that were released on 30 September 2016, but Epica’s album was the one that stuck out the most to me. The Holographic Principle is not only my favorite Epica album since Design Your Universe, but […]

Achieving True Sentience A look at the new Allegaeon album You may have been present for the music video that I posted that I had a nice little cameo in. Well, the long wait is over and the new Allegaeon album is hot off the presses. I have been a […]
