How’s it going, Game Hedz? I trust you’ve done the right thing and got your hands on a copy of Mass Effect 3. If you haven’t, you’ll be cursed with two left thumbs…or something like that. We’ve been playing through the game (not finished yet) and can see the immediate impact of larger scale conflict and story that makes for a density of interdependent missions and pivotal relationships.

Fun, frolic and fashion are the words to describe my latest subject. Meet Vanessa Adnan El Hage.

When some kids are asked “What do you want to be when you grow up?’, they answer with vocations most of them don’t end up pursuing in the future. So what is the difference for 18-year-old Vanessa?

And it’s not just baboons; this kind of competition among member of the same species is common among more animals than I can name. To be an animal is to be senseless, thoughtless and brutal, right? Well, possibly. It follows, then, that to be human is to be the opposite. To be human is to be compassionate and merciful; it’s where the term “humane behaviour” comes from.  Humans are good!

Weren’t the 90s amazing? Which of us doesn’t think back to those fun moments filled with the Spice Girls blaring in the background and the Internet still a novelty? In The Future of Us, Asher and Mackler bring us back to 1996 with Josh and Emma…
