If I were stuck on a desert island, here are a few things I might bring...
Who knew that Grasscut was Marcus O’Dair and Andrew Phillips, an award-winning film and television composer with over 100 screen credits? The second single from their forthcoming debut album is NOT inspired by Dracula the Musical or Jason Segel’s work on the upcoming Muppet Movie. …
Issue 5 of Boom!’s new 28 Days Later series focuses on the comic’s back story, attempting to explain why two Pulitzer prize winning journalists have decided to bring the Amazonian Selena out of her sanctuary on the Isle of Wight, and back into the fray …
After Mario Galaxy and Mario Cart, Mario Sports, and a slew of other cameos, Mario is finally getting an exclusive side-scrolling adventure for the Wii, and it’s about time.
Nintendo’s game designers seem to have had an easy job with this title as all the best features of the game were ported over from the New Super Mario Bros. for DS. This means the triumphant return of warp zones, secret pipes, end of level flagpole jumps and fireworks to a home system! The developers have also stuck to the time tested level formula, keeping them to eight, each with their familiar themes like desert, ice, water and lava. A lot of the original baddies are back and some seem to have been hitting the steroid bag.
So it should come as no surprise to all you readers that I’m single and have been cruising the web for the hotties internet hunnies!!! It’s too bad we don’t have this service where I’m from because I would be allllll up in it.
I think I like this book. My problem with it though, is that despite being an archive spanning the past five years, too much of the content is too fresh in my mind. It seems like the editors either played favorites with their writers, or …
If you listen to rock and you live in Toronto, then you really should know a thing or two already about Rebel Emergency. But just in case you don’t, I can tell you now that they play a solid mix of rock, reggae and ska, and have even been named ” The Next Big Thing” by radio station, 102.1 The Edge.
Their latest cd was produced by Grammy winning Commissioner Gordon, who has produced albums for Lauryn Hill’s and the Fugees. No small feat for an up and coming group of Scarborough boys. Following sold out performances at the Mod Club for their CD release, LIVE NATION is sponsoring them to headline their big Christmas concert. Most of the info is above, but it seems they forgot to mention that tickets are $15.
Check their Myspace and their EPK (that’s Electronic Press Kit, for all you non-media types) below.
It seems like Toronto turntablist/producer Peter Project has a lot of smelly friends. They smell so bad that he decided to make personal hygiene the theme on his sparkling new release, FRESH. Many of the tracks have samples about bathing habits, and the ep is …
Just got the latest update for Nintendo’s 2010 preview. I’m noticing some strong Greco-Roman themes with this quarter, both in gaming and pop culture. Enter at last, The Glory of Heracles, the long awaited Japanese RPG, Rage of the Gladiator and Percy Jackson & the …
Looking For Group Vol.2 fills a fast growing niche of web-based comics lucky enough to take flight in RL. Yes, that’s “Real Life” to all you n00bs. For the die-hard fan, there is nothing more fulfilling than actually getting to flip through your favourite web-comic, analogue style.
Getting to the meat of it, Looking For Group is one such web-comic. What started as a joke by award winning Canadian cartoonists, Ryan Sohmer and Lar Desouza, has spiraled out of control into a fully blown saga spanning over six years.
The series tells the tale of your typical merry band of adventures. There’s Cale’Anon (an elven hunter), Richard (a sadistic undead warlock), as well as their companions Benn’Joon (the half-troll healer), Krunch Bloodrage (a Minotaur-like cow/man warrior) and Pella (the salty-tongued dwarven lady fighter). Anyone who has played WoW (World Of Warcraft) or any fantasy based MMO will notice some recurring themes here.
Looking For Group explicitly makes note of their fantasy/sci-fi parodizing. “We poke heavy fun at everything World of Warcraft, Lord of the Rings, Wheel of Time, RA Salvatore, Dungeons & Dragons, George RR Martin, Everquest, Star Wars and anything else we enjoy, derived from Video Games, Film, Television, Books and Graphic Novels.”
Unlike most comics or graphic novels, those uninitiated to ‘Looking For Group Vol.2’ may have a hard time reading this book cover to cover. The might even have better luck starting with Volume 1, or catching up on the entire series on the website, as recommended by its creators. Gaping plot holes render the storyline into a series of loosely held together non-sequiturs and inside jokes. The new reader may be left flipping to the good parts where Richard does stuff like banishing woodland creatures to the 9th plane of Hell, or turning a fruit vendors stock into a horde of baby cobras. Not that there’s anything so terrible about that, our evil mage is a show stealer.
Don’t believe me? Watch the animated viral vid the guys produced and you will understand.
Red Dead Revolver was one of the first PS2 games that I owned, and one of the most engaging for its time. Despite easy game play, the multi-player shoot out mode made for many extra hours of fun. I can’t wait to see how Red …
