8 Things to be learned from Candy Crush

Recently, the game Candy Crush Saga has became extremely popular that, unfortunately, both me and my mom got super addicted to everything Candy Crush (we even bought Fuzzy Peach lol). Therefore, when I came through this article while scrolling through my facebook news feed one day, immediately I thought of sharing it with you guys. 1. Difficulties are common. As long [...]

Website of the day: Pop the Bubblewrap!

For some reason, people have an insane obsession with popping bubble wrap. Most people no longer relate bubble wrap to “protective packaging”. Instead, it has become “insta-fun for all ages.” I have no idea why it’s so addicting. But it is. So, in honor of bubble wrap, the internet has presented to us: Virtual Bubble Wrap! Basically, you click all [...]

Legend of Zelda OST

Soundtracks can make or break a game. In the case of the Legend of Zelda, it’s a sure make: the soundtrack for each game in the series is beautiful and fits perfectly into the gameplay. Paired with its awesome plot and graphics, the Legend of Zelda series definitely falls into the category of “Favourites” for me. Game, movie, drama or [...]

I dub thee the hardest piano song. Ever.

So, this is played on Synthesia because you’d probably need to throw yourself on the piano in order to hit at least 50 per cent of the notes. But fret not, there are pretty colors of notes flying everywhere. This is also a real song, with a real melody and harmony. If you play video games like Touhou, you’ve probably [...]

The Prince’s Island Series: Dining at the River Cafe

Where better to spend an afternoon than eating at the River Café in the heart of Calgary- that is, if you count the heart of Calgary as Prince’s Island Park.

Draw Something – gaming in the form of art

Recently, I’ve downloaded a game called Draw Something, and at first, I’d never thought it’d be such a big hit among the smartphone/smart-devices community. Personally, I’m not a gamer, but I thought Draw Something is a pretty neat concept where you choose a word from a list of three words (where each had its own scaling of difficulty) draw it out for your “opponent,” [...]

Temple Run- the most addictive game

Temple Run – Live Action! Have you heard of Temple Run? It’s the most addicting game you’ll ever play. You basically run in a temple, collect coins on your journey and overcome obstacles (jump over the fire and a tree). I questioned why it was so addicting, and then it came to me… The aspect of temple run that differentiates [...]

WeTopia: Give While You Play

I think I speak for all of us when I say we’ve been victimised by those Facebook games that require repetitive planting, building.. the list goes on. They were pointless and time-wasters.  Yet we keep coming back. Why? Because they’re simple and fun. Well, there’s a (somewhat) new game called WeTopia and in all honesty it’s just like those other [...]

Skyrim (PC) Game Review

Note: Video review to come soon (hopefully) A few weeks ago, you might have heard a massive crash outside. You probably thought it was the sound of the stock market crashing again, or maybe the Euro losing its value, or maybe even another earthquake. But no, that was the sound of the collective grades and free time of millions of [...]

Alternate ending: The Most Dangerous Game

In Language Arts class a few years back, my class was assigned to invent our own version of the last fight between Rainsford and Zaroff in the short story The Most Dangerous Game by Richard Connell (personally one of the most fascinating short stories I’ve ever read, next to Edgar Allan Poe’s works). Our task was to write a descriptive story [...]

Photo of the Day: It’s a whole lot of Marios

No it’s not some publicity stunt, or a bunch of fans trying to find Princess Peach. This is Nintendo’s way of getting the hype out for their first Mario 3DS title release, Super Mario 3D land. 7

Who’s ready to put down the game controller?

So we’ve all had our fun: the late nights, movie marathons, endless hours of video games, eating ice cream for all three meals of the day, vacationing, and best of all, no work! But unfortunately, summer is now at an end, which in turns means the beginning of a new school year. But it doesn’t mean you can’t do summer [...]
