Since attending the show last week, our E3 brain trust (Kyle Orland, Sam Machkovech, Samuel Axon) has been arguing over our favorite hands-on and hands-off demos. We managed to settle on this definitive top-ten list, along with a slew of honorable mentions. Our selected games are listed in alphabetical order, not ranked. The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit Developer: Dontnod EntertainmentPlatforms: Windows, PS4, Xbox OneRelease Date: June 26, 2018 That’s why Life is Strange spinoff The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit was such a delight to see at the show. The game stood out, sandwiched as it was between a Tomb Raider demo (in which Lara Croft went primal on a guy with a knife) and a Just Cause demo (which might have set the record for number of explosions per minute). Captain Spirit is about a 10-year-old boy who uses his imagination to escape from harsh realities, and I recognized my younger self in him while I watched. While all video games are in some way about … [Read more...] about The top ten games from E3 2018

Heartwarming video shows good Samaritan carrying injured Texan to his car
By Fernando Alfonso III Updated 8:37 am, Wednesday, April 18, 2018 Now Playing: Not all heroes wear capes, but this gentleman deserves one. Clint Groom was getting gas at his local gas station when he spotted this sweet gesture. A man walked up to an older man who appeared to be having trouble walking back to his car. Without hesitation, the man began to walk slowly with the older man to try and help. The older man appeared to be in a great deal of pain and the other man decided to go the extra mile. He lifted the older man carefully and carried him back to his truck.

The Young and the Reckless
I. The Bumper The trip to Delaware was only supposed to last a day. David Pokora, a bespectacled University of Toronto senior with scraggly blond hair down to his shoulders, needed to travel south to fetch a bumper that he’d bought for his souped-up Volkswagen Golf R. The American seller had balked at shipping to Canada, so Pokora arranged to have the part sent to a buddy, Justin May, who lived in Wilmington. The young men, both ardent gamers, shared a fascination with the inner workings of the Xbox; though they’d been chatting and collaborating for years, they’d never met in person. Pokora planned to make the eight-hour drive on a Friday, grab a leisurely dinner with May, then haul the metallic-blue bumper back home to Mississauga, Ontario, that night or early the next morning. His father offered to tag along so they could take turns behind the wheel of the family’s Jetta. An hour into their journey on March 28, 2014, the Pokoras crossed the … [Read more...] about The Young and the Reckless
