Hatchet

Surviving in the wild is not an easy thing to do, ever. Reading this book will prove it. Hatchet is  a survival book, and is a first person account of the way it is learned through experience. This book "feels" so real and visceral that you can't help "being"in the story. It says something about the quality of the writing, that you can be pulled into this simple story. Even the most simple moves are impressive when preformed by a master and this is a work of a master. Using simple words and semi-descrips. This book was a joy to read, the flow of the book is not like other books. I can say with definite probability that this is a good one. Read it!

Who Framed Roger Rabbit

_)O_O(_ Oh. My. God. This movie has so many memories, for me. Most of them are good. In fact all of them are. Who Framed Roger Rabbit is a film adaptation of a book by the title Who Censored Roger Rabbit?. The film was made in 1998 but set in, what I assume is, the late 1950s in a world where american produced cartoons live alongside the live-action people in a City of an unknown name. This movie is, to my knowledge, is the only time Warner Brothers and Walt Disney have let both of most their characters be in a single film. The animation work is marvelous evan by todays HD standards, the toons feel like they are rely "there". Despite the fun brevity feel of the story, it is a slightly serious. I'm not kidding, this is almost hard film noir, but it never takes it self to seriously and could be seen as a comedy or a drama piece. Watch it and be amazed.    

Flame of Recca

If there was one word to describe this, it would have to be "badass". I'm not kidding, this never lets up. Every character is cool in their own way, and the things that happen in "this" manga. When I read this manga my blood boiled with excitement, I couldn't wait to see what happened next. What do I say to make you love this as much as I did, to yearn for the tale to unfold, to weep physically for the next volume, to laugh with mad joy at seeing the conclusion in sight, and to howl with pain when it does. To read this manga was an experience to behold, I wanted to join the main characters in battle just to be there in person. At first it was an average shōnen series, but after it striped down and revealed itself to me I had an uncontrollable maddening lust to see the story to it's finish. I was sated by the end and maybe you will to.

Marble Madness

Have you heard of this game? You should of. This is still, in my opinion, the best platformer ever. Many reincarnations have happened over the years, but none have captured the magic of the original. That is because the low end graphics helped, on top of that most of the game looks like a M.C. Escher painting. Now, why is a platformer game have good writing? Well, all games tell their story through narrative, and Marble Madness does it right in every way. From the art design to the vary controls themselves are there to mess you up. This game can be frustrating, funny, mind bending, and sad if you think about it. "What?", I hear you say, "This game isn't sad". Well, I said you had to think about it バカ. When you beat the game it just returns you to the start of the first level, which means that the ball is forever condemned to wander these hellish plains looking for the exit but never finding it. There, did I just kill a bit of your childhood? If not, play this game, dummkopf. leathcheann. Bête. FOOL!

Kaiba

Finding an image for this anime was hard, not because of it's rarity but because of Yugioh. ≈_≈ Kaiba is at it's roots a sic-fi love story. Which I admit is old hat, but redoing old themes is in the execution, check out the opining. It's by Seira Kagami who has also done some of the songs for CHAOS;HEAD, Isekai no Seikshi Monogatari, Noramimi 1&2, and Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro. The art stile lends itself to show all the characters in a child-like form but they aren't, for the most part. The story begins on amnesia and ends on a crowning moment of awesome. Unlike my Elfin Lied review thinking back on Kaiba gives me a feeling of warmth, at the same time this anime can be vary fucked up, but because of the art stile it sweeps across your conciseness like a light breeze. You will, find your self smiling at this anime. I personally, at one point, yelled out loud the words "THE HELL?!" because something shocked me so. I hope you have as much fun with this anime as I did.

L'Illusionniste

It should be noted that if I put anything up here, I liked it. With that being said, The Illusionist is a damned good film. It's the kind of movie you talk about and debate over. It is a french-british film set in 1959, manly in Paris, centering on a magician and his dwindling career that can't follow the new cinema and what electricity had ushered in. This film has five english words, I think, but fear not this is a movie you watch, not listen to. What do I mean by that? Well, the story is mainly shown and few lines are spoken. This film has three languages in it; Lowland Scots, English, and of corse François are the ones I heard. You can tell what the characters are saying by what is going on in the seen. Now on to a bit of history, ¬_¬ on the film. The co-wittier, Jacques Tati, is said to have written this as a love letter to his estranged eldest daughter as an apology for abandoning her as a child, but this was never confirmed. In fact, the main character, L'Illusionniste, is a version of Jacques animated, and some people speculate that the young lady is Jacques real life daughter, but rest assured readers the closest the main characters get is what's in the picture above, which is more of a father-daughter thing. To say this has a good end would be wrong, but the opposite is true as well. I think that L'Illusionniste has a neutral end, but like I said you can debate over this film for eons because the film has almost no dialog in it you have to infer what is going on and why, not that it makes this hard. It's almost like watching a moving painting, you take away whatever you take away from this. So, watch this film...you'll be better for it.

Video Tutu?

If anyone would like to see more of these or another game let me know in the comments. I was thinking about doing a Bullet Heaven let's play.
