Point and click adventures — one of classic gaming’s most revered and, until recently, most forgotten genres — have seen a renaissance of late. That’s something I’ll be exploring more fully in a future column, but, for now, it’s a point best proven by what will surely be one of the highest profile indie games released this month: Amanita Design’s adventure Machinarium, due for release this Friday for PC and Mac.

I’ll be looking forward to checking out this game.

Recently, I’ve been interested in time travel movies, I’ve watched Primer and really enjoyed it even though it was so dense and technical, in fact that’s why I liked it. Another interesting one was TimeCrimes, a really cool, foreign film.

Usually I’m more of a video game player and don’t watch many movies.  I just generally think video games are more interesting than movies.  Video games are my movies, where I get to control the main character.  But recently I started taking advantage of my wife’s NetFlix account, especially the watch instantly; feature.

Finally, a leader who realizes the importance of standing up for basic human rights. Finally the time has come for people to see that gay people are, in fact, people, deserving of all the rights and freedoms that everyone should enjoy.

The narrow-minded, the haters, the prejudiced are dinosaurs, doomed to extinction. The world is changing for the better. Its becoming a world of openness and acceptance of all.
