Review: Endless Fantasy

Back in January, I learned that Anamanaguchi was creating a new album, titled Endless Fantasy, on the same day that I saw the music video for the first single “Meow”. Right before I saw the video, my thoughts were, “Oh cool, a new Anamanaguchi album is coming out. I’ve enjoyed everything they’ve put out.” And then came the video.

Review: Modern Vampires Of The City

One of the most effective devices for framing a powerful narrative is geography. While spinning a story that tells of a journey, sometimes a physical journey, often mental, often metaphorical, it helps to have a geographic point of reference to bind time and space and emotion.

Review: Volume 3

You’re driving down a highway, but not an interstate highway where the speed limit is seventy miles-per-hour, a historically designated scenic highway where the speed limit tops out at around forty. You’re driving a convertible with the top down, but the convertible is not a muscle or sports car, something more like a Mini Cooper. The wind’s blowing past your face, but not hard enough that you’re...

Review: Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon

One of the biggest challenges in the age of Twitter, where information flows like milk and honey, is actually avoiding information about something, say, a piece of media, you’re looking forward to. Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon arrived on a wave of hype for some, while others weren’t even aware of its existence. I saw countless tweets gushing over the game trailer, the game soundtrack, and images of the second...
