Destiny Drawer

I have attended several Game Jams in my life. I love video game design and making a game in 48 hours is a fun challenge that always brings out the best in me. For this particular game jam I went in with a simple game play mechanic: Line bouncing. I imagined what would happen if…

Meet Your Heroes

I think we live in an amazing time where we can actually find ways of interacting with the creators and artists that inspire us to be our best selves. Last August I went to FanExpo Toronto and got to meet my childhood hero Peter Cullen the voice of Optimus Prime. It was a wonderful day…

Transformers and My Psyche

To say that I loved Transformers as a kid would be a gross understatement. I adored those colourful robots and their endless battles. I would watch the cartoons each morning then go to the kitchen spice cupboard in which, for some strange reason, we kept a flyer of Transformer toys. I would stare at the…

The film “The Lobster” was recommended to me by an online friend several years ago. I enjoyed their first recommendation “Harold and Maude” and thought I would give it a shot. After watching it I immediately felt somewhat traumatized. “The Lobster” is a dark comedy about a near-future dystopian world where being single is illegal.…
