A Look Inside My Left Side Brain

Anave

As a kid I’ve always found creative ways to express myself. Whether it be through blurry photography or finger painting. As I’ve grown into my teenage years I’ve become even more at touch with the left side of my brain. Even this blog post itself is a spark of creativity I’ve randomly decided to act upon. This post is basically an exploration of my current creative outputs of self expression and how they help me in day to day life.

1. Photography

Photography is something I’ve always been into, I’ve never owned a full on DSLR camera or anything but I’ve always enjoyed using my simple digital cameras to capture my life. I’ve also been getting into film, first falling in love with a disposable Kodak as I went to Boston (see pictures here) and New York. I’ve recently received the film camera pictured above from my Grandfather and I’m…

BS Legend of Zelda Review (SNES)

Obscure Video Games

BS (Broadcast Satellaview) Zelda for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System

This cartridge version allows you to choose between Map 1 or Map 2 – the layouts of the overworld and dungeons are different in each.

Note 1:  Check out my reviews of Ancient Stone Tablets, Chapters 1 and 2!

Note 2:  This game was played on an original model SNES console using S-video cables connected to a 32-inch HD tv.

Quick History:  The history of BS Legend of Zelda isn’t really ‘quick,’ but I’ll try to keep it as uncomplicated as possible.  BS Zelda is known as BS Zelda no Denetsu in Japan and was released for download in 1995 and 1996 for the Broadcast Satellaview.  The Broadcast Satellaview was an attachment to the Super Famicom (Japanese SNES).  BS Zelda was essentially a re-make of the original NES Legend of Zelda with updated graphics and other minor differences.  The first release is known as…

Thanks for nothing, Pirate bay

The Portuguese Wolf

A week ago or so #VICE pulled up a two year old interview with Peter Sunde, founder of #PirateBay where he confessed his disappointment with open Internet. There are two things I want to get rid of quickly: the millionaire socialism embodied by Sunde and the fact that for many people this is old news and so 2015. I’ll just leave it hanging in here.

I actually participated on the small forum of comments and tried to add my two cents to the conversation. Of course i got snowed under as a lot of people might have more free time than me on their hands. Anyway, I would now to pick up the subject in the blog and extend it a bit, if you guys don’t mind.

One of the things that people argued in there it’s that copyright slows progress. They might have had a point if the…

Bezsenne Środy: “Miasteczko Salem” Stephen King

Wielki Buk

Od wampirów nie sposób się uwolnić. To jeden z tych motywów i wątków w kulturze popularnej, które powracają bez względu na epokę, bez względu na wiek, czy moment historii. Wampir jako legenda, jako przestroga,  jako cień, upiór i wilk, jako zalotnica i ostatni kochanek… To mit, symbol, to antychryst wcielony, ten, który zstąpił na ziemię z otchłani ciemności. Wreszcie anty-wampir, potwór ujarzmiony, ułagodzony, o stępiałych kłach, niczym książę z baśni. Wampiry wracają, czy tego chcemy, czy nie, pomimo tego, że ich dzisiejsze portrety są niestety bardziej śmieszne niż straszne, a legenda niezbyt przerażająca w obliczu wyzutej z pierwotnego lęku współczesności.

Dlatego kiedy te nowe wampiryczne motywy zawodzą, a klasykę znamy już na pamięć, to warto sięgnąć kilka lat wstecz po jedną z najlepszych powieści w tym temacie, czyli „Miasteczko Salem” z 1975 roku autorstwa Stephena Kinga, a na nowo poczujecie zew krwi.

Сёння я шчаслівы.

Za każdym genialnym mężczyzną w historii wszelkich dziedzin skrywa się co najmniej jedna kobieta – matka, żona, kochanka. Ta, która wierzy w niego i wspiera we wszystkim do czego dąży. Ta, która inspiruje go i daje mu siłę. Ta która czeka na niego każdego wieczoru, która go karmi, która go całuje i pieści. Jego kobieta, […]

Day 13 & 14 – Dubrovnik, Croatia

the travel diaries of reilly and syd

With an early start Saturday morning we strapped on our bags and headed toward the bus stop about a ten minute walk from our hostel. We were scheduled to catch a flight out of our second country of the trip and into our third, Croatia. Now, let it be said that we had high hopes for this destination on our itinerary, and we were not disappointed…

Flying into Dubrovnik provided some stunningly beautiful sights and the excitement was building. After the quick flight we hopped on a bus into the main town. We were dropped off just outside of the walls surrounding the Old Town, a beautiful medieval-looking structure that encapsulates the charm of Dubrovnik, where you enter through one of two gates, Pile and Plocë. We set off on foot with our luggage and ventured along the singular main road, what the locals call “Stradun”, up a steep set…
