Now don’t get me wrong, I love Mario Kart Wii. However, I feel like it has quite a few things going both for and against it. First of all, is this Ridge Racer? What’s with the overuse of drifting? Mario Kart has had the drifting aspect for quite some time, but no other game in Read more...

I usually don’t do these kinds of posts, and this kinda goes against the purpose of this particular blog I have set up. However, it sort of has to do with media, so I’ll allow it. Just this once. So I was watching The Office the other day on NBC (WSMV, nashville) and apparently there Read more...

Tell me, where do you hail from? I am from Montreal, it’s a city in Quebec, Canada. What are your influences for your music? I’ve always been listening to a mix of acid jazz, hardcore, idm, ebm and new wave. I suppose it’s reflected in the aliceffekt music. If you were a woman, would you Read more...

Comics are an amazing form of storytelling, however if you’re anything like me and didn’t have the resources to get into comics when you were growing up then the sheer volume of what’s available is pretty daunting.

That is; how a game should be to make it timeless or truly progressive. I’ve got pretty strong feelings Read more...

It’s a really down-to-earth sort of podcast about yeah…video games. I know this is mostly a music site here, and we’ve been writing a lot about video games lately, but I thought I’d take some time out to tell you about this lovely podcast. It’s called Interactive Distractions and it’s basically three dudes talking in Read more...

For quite some time I’ve been a P-Model fan and a Susumu Hirasawa fan. His music is fairly hard to describe. It was late seventies early eighties “techno-pop” according to the glorious truthhole we call “wikipedia.” Though it wasn’t nearly as polished as some of the other cliche “techno-pop” artists from that timeline. He would Read more...
