Max Payne: Then and Now

Shotgun + guy flying backwards into an explosion of flames + Slow motion = AWESOME! 

In 1999 a movie came out that introduced a film style called “Bullet Time”. Most people have seen the scene in “The Matrix” where Neo dodges several bullets in slow motion, while the camera circles him 360 degrees. I remember being floored the first time I watched that scene. I couldn’t believe what I had just seen, and wanted more of it. The movie was released on DVD, and I watched the movie over, and over, and over.

Skyrim: The Journal of Arcticus/ Introduction to the new a la carte page!

I’ve been playing “The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim” for the past couple of months. Released on November 11, 2011, Skyrim recently won the highly sought after " 2011 Game of the Year” awards from Spike TV, Ars Technica, and multiple other outlets. It is one of the best games I have ever played. If you haven’t heard of Skyrim, go buy it; don’t even think about it! If you are wondering what this game is all about, you can read my review of it here.

There are several races to choose from in Skyrim. My personal favorite race is the Khajiit. It is a race of humanoids that look like tigers. I picked facial features, war paint, eye color, hair style, side burns, facial hair, and many other features, and then picked the color of my Khajiit. I ended up going with a Siberian looking tiger, because they are my favorite tigers. When it came time to pick a name I chose Arcticus. One of the specialties of the Khajiit race is being stealth; which I consider an added bonus, because I really wanted to sneak around Skyrim as a thief. There is something about breaking into peoples houses in a digital world that is fun and exciting; which goes back to “Why we play the games we play.” To kick off our new “a la carte" section I’ve written a short story about my character’s adventures, through his eyes. I hope you enjoy it!
