Random Access Memories is here. Go give it a listen.

A little different from what even I was expecting. All I can say is it's 36 hours later and I'm still listening to it with a sense of intrigue, exploration, and enjoyment. Strangely, the songs I'm currently gleaning the most enjoyment from are the same songs I didn't much care for upon first listen-through. Weird. 

Song of the Day: Where Is My Mind

Yoav feat. Emily Browning. 

I just finished reading Ender's Game for the first time since elementary school (it's still an amazing work of literary art). I was inspired to buy and read the iBook edition after seeing the trailer for the new Ender's Game movie. Much as 'Exile Vilify' came to symbolize the emotional exhaustion felt by Abraham Lincoln while reading Team Of Rivals, 'Where Is My Mind' became my anthem for Ender and his battle against isolation, loneliness, and depression. 

Add 'Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon' to the list of games I desperately want to play but probably never will

Blood Dragon is a standalone expansion for the video game Far Cry 3. Below is a live-action short made to promote Blood Dragon. Just take my money already and make a full-length movie, please. 

Update: Below is the first 15 minutes of the game with commentary.

On second thought, iSteven is now just my second 'most anticipated movie of 2013'

Why the demotion of Funny Or Die's 'iSteve'? That's because the new trailer for Neill Blomkamp's 'Elysium' has just been released and it seems to contain pretty much everything I want in a movie. 'District 9' was amazing. Elysium looks set to be amazing.
