To start off the new year, you should consider investing in supporting independent developers. Other than all of the epic deals on Steam, there are several different indie deal/bundles that exist on the internet! You have the Humble Bundle, which I previously wrote in this post. Every so often they have bundles with about 5…
It’s the beginning of December, and it might seem too early to buy presents for the holidays…but it is better to buy early than wait until the last minute. You have time to find a good gift for someone (and your Secret Santa), are not in a rush to resort to a generic gift, and…

On Saturday, November 3, Video Games Live made its fourth appearance to the cow-town; and on Tuesday, November 6, The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses made its second appearance in Canada! That’s right folks, Toronto and Calgary are the concert’s first Canadian shows…
Ever heard of a game called Plants vs Zombies? It’s a wonderful tower defense action game created by PopCap that involves your skills of placing different plants to prevent zombies from invading! Sounds interesting enough, right? Well, what if you had the opportunity to give this game for free to all of the children who…
Do you love Joss Whedon? Do you love Nathan Fillion? Felicia Day? Neil Patrick Harris?! And most of all…do you love musicals?

After graduating high school, I have a few regrets. I felt like I had no time to do certain activities in my school as I made the excuse of ‘studying’ and ‘doing homework’ all of the time. As a student, I made sure to do my school work on time to maintain a good average;…
If you frequent the interwebz (mainly Youtube), then you have probably watched or heard of “Open Gangnam Style” which consists of a catchy beat and ridiculous dance moves: [youtube 9bZkp7q19f0] Well, just yesterday someone posted up a clip from the Ellen DeGeneres Show featuring Psy, the original artist and dancer of the viral song! He…
After approximately 2 years, Youth Are Awesome has finally hit the 2600 post mark! And you’re probably wondering why I didn’t tell you about this when we passed a nicer number like 2500, right?

That’s right, reddit folks, you can participate in this year’s first Gifts for the Teachers exchange on redditgifts. Earlier, I have mentioned that you could be a Secret Santa in the summer. If you missed out on that opportunity, then do not fret! You can still help out a teacher around the world by…
If you internet junkies haven’t heard about Ouya, then you have a lot of catching up to do. For just $99, consumers can get their hand on this Android-powered console. The developers’ goal was to essentially take the free-to-play model into gamers’ hands, and bring it to their TV screens.

Two superhero movies in the same month? I don’t know how fans can handle that! Although Marvel isn’t known for having dark heroes or themes, their movies are quite entertaining. DC Comics have also started making stronger films nowadays, especially since Nolan signed on to do Batman. Oh, and there’s an upcoming Superman movie that’s…
I was able to speak with “Alley Burger Mike” about this interestingly named truck and was quite delighted to hear that they try to get everything local and natural.
