I’m not ready to review the album yet, but the Rx Bandits have released a new album this week! It’s called Mandala and it’s an amazing listen. I’d have to say my favorite track so far is “White Lies.” Get Mandala! I’ll be seeing them live on 28 August and I can’t wait. There will probably be a concert wrap-up following the show along with a CD review soon. Until then, enjoy this feature about the making of the album. ...

The endurance run continues to roll on as the Investigation Team works to solve the mystery behind the murders. Get Persona 4!

I like being surprised by a narrative. Too often, especially when it comes to video games, it’s always the same predictable plot twists and points. This was a point where Dan, the player, and Dan, the character, were both stunned at a convention being broken. It seems that Dan is most definitely not the hero of legend.

There’s a rather interesting mechanic in play with Dragon Quest V and, while it wasn’t pioneered in Dragon Quest V, I think that it fits in well with the family theme of DQV. After Dan became an adult, he acquires a horse named Dusty and a wagon. This wagon holds the hero’s excess party when he doesn’t have them in the fighting party.
