I need to watch this movie yet again. 2013 is totally the year of Blade Runner for me.

You might want to play this : Depression Quest
This game is essentially a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure text game about living with depression. It’s based on real stories from real people. Why should you play it?
1) It’s Pay What You Want, or “free” for those of you with negative money right now.
2) It might help you understand depression, and the people you know who have it, better.
3) It might make you aware of your own negative cognitive and emotive patterns, giving you that nudge of inward reflection needed to seek help.
4) It might get you to realize that there are other people out there just like you in situations eerily similar to your own. You’re not as alone as you think you are.
Go play it, please. You might get something out of it that’s not a high score, an achievement, or a trophy.
Holy notes!
Definitely worth playing, ESPECIALLY if you have loved one’s that struggle with depression. Hopefully this will give you some real insight into their daily challenges.

“Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that’s no matter - to-morrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther … And one fine morning —-”
(Just re-read this for the first time in ten years and was reaffirmed in my belief that it might just be the perfect novel)

Steam Guides: The Beast Becomes Stronger
There’s no contest when it comes to PC gaming: Steam is the place to be. Their sales drive interest of games through the roof, their overlay and community features are unparalleled, and their selection goes from all kinds of software to almost any kind of game. Although there have been many contenders that stepped up to the plate to offer similar services, many do so out of a sense of fear; afraid that by giving Valve a monopoly on PC gaming, we will lose that special something business thrives on: competition.
However, Valve is not intimidated by competition and seeks it out regularly with the implementation of bold new features. Last fall it was Big Picture Mode, moving the Steam experience away from the PC and into the living room. Now, it is eliminating the need for a second screen/device to look to for help, with their new community feature: Steam Guides. …continue reading

Nintendo Force #1 is out and a thing of beauty
For anyone who grew up with Nintendo Power, it was sad to see the last issue come out this December. I stopped buying it several years ago, but I always held a fond place in my heart for that publication and the work it did over the years. It seemed timeless and I wrongly assumed it would live on forever, even without our support.
With the launch of a spiritual successor, Nintendo Force, I’m not making that same mistake again…continue reading
