June 14th, 2005 · No Comments
“There are a lot of fan-made computer games out there that “borrow” elements from beloved commercial titles. A lot of those games are downright terrible, but once in a while there’s a diamond amongst all the coal. Enter Super Mario Pac, a fan-made game that combines elements of Super Mario World, Super Mario [...]

St. Laurent Surfing
June 10th, 2005 · 1 Comment

“Now we’re actually doing it,” says Cartwright.
Simpsons creator Matt Groening has been promising a feature film for some time now, but as the hugely popular animated series heads into its seventeenth season, there’s not a lot of pressure to move quickly on a movie.”

(not so) Sizzling Summer: Montreal skate parks
“Outdoor parks in Montreal generally suck. Unlike in B.C., where authorities have worked with local skaters to build proper outdoor parks, Montreal’s local government has not quite gotten the picture. They’ve put up loads of modular skate parks, which are basically prefab pieces manufactured by evil toy companies that [...]
