Youths, Violence, and Games
Posted April 8 | Leave a Comment
Last Week I was berated, well maybe not "berated", but I was ganged up against by my "University" friends on how games have this huge impact on society and modern culture. We all can agree on that, but that's not the issue, so let me get to the point. They claim that it's because of that strong influence it has on our culture that makes the violent games another axis for breeding hate and more violence into today's youths. Well I held my ground and I decided to write this over talked about iss… read more

United By Fate: Episode One Review

The UBF: Episode One was released today and I waited a good month or two for this online short film. The online film is approx. 10min long and it focused mainly on Paul Machnau even though there were other Globe Team riders in the film. Pro-Skaters like Chris Haslam, Mark Appleyard, Jake Duncombe, and David Gonzalez. David Gonzalez only performs two tricks in the entire film (which he doesn't even land the first one), so I dont think he counts as an appearance but whatever he was there. Some T… read more

The video game equivalent of a "Chick Flick". Could it be a "Dame Game"? So cute & sweet that you can't play it if you're diabetic. I am often saddened by the fact that the general impression of gamers is that of a bunch of guys with no social life who never really outgrew adolescence. I know that it's not the case, but in a market that produced such hits as "Tomb Raider," "Fear Effect," and "Danger Girl," I can see how really bad it looks to the world at large.Which leads me to rejoice whenev… read more

Posted February 9 | Leave a Comment
An age old issue to say the least. Over the course of history Homosexuality has been seen with an evil eye, and had been dealt with an iron fist, until the more recent years. Society has come a long way since the old ages. Before people of Homosexuality would be seen as people under a mental illness, or a more spiritually title as "cursed people". They would be either killed, imprisoned, held in isolation or savagely beaten. Religion has it's firm belief towards Gays and Lesbians, but man made… read more
