Hotel dusk

Today it's about videogames. Yup this game might be a little bit old and yup it might not be very famous, but I'm mentioning it for a particular reason. The game it's a freaking interactive novel, and not a normal novel but a mistery one. 

The thematic it's a very big large and known cliche a detective who loses his partner and changes his job. At the begining of the game you find a girl ( not going to make spoilers about her identity) and you stop in a pretty crappy hotel, and that's when the murders and the real fun start. The most notorious thig about the game it's the black and white comic cartoon approach, it totally fits the story and it gives a very gangster-like atmosphere (I personally think that it's super cool). 

I f you want to play it you can do it free just by downloading a NDS emulator and the rom (But shhhhh I didn't say anything),it's the most direct way to get it because it's old and they don't sell it anymore at usual videogames shops. 

GIVE IT A TRY

Yahooo

It's been a while since my last post due to some issues (mainliy work issues) but I'm back for round 2. And  for today I bring you a movie (actually a book saga but I haven't read it completely and I don't want to review it without having a complete idea).

Maze runner

I've been introduced to this movie thakns to my brother Hector, we're not really into "teen garbage" movies but I'm hooked to this particular one, because it's out of the "big hit" formula ( the formula is basically boy meets girl or girl meets boy in an action movie envirorment), this film adds something new to the equation; lack of knowledge. That lack of knowledge it's what leads to curiosity and that to action it really reminded me to the experiment with the apes an the electrified ladder. 

I can't really make a strong affirmation about this film an that's what makes me so curious about it. 

will it be a new beginning to the genre or will it get stuck into the formula like soooo many other movies? 

I guess we'll see, stay tuned.

Pros and cons of fan fiction

As everyone should no by now fan fiction is a very extended activity nowadays. Now I'll proceed to open a debate:

Arguments for

Fan fiction is the perfect way to make the readers contribute to their favourite works,and also is a good chance for the readers because it's an opportunity to keep reading good sagas even if the author is'nt writing them anymore. There are a couple of cases where fan fiction feedbacks the story and the world that they're inspired in( Dragonlance), and that's a prove tha fan fiction can work.

Arguments against

Fan ficion is considered in many circles bad or disrecpetful, they say that because  it's obvious that the fan fiction works are not the same as the original saga, and because ih these days the fan fiction writers dare to tell the original authors what to do or what to write next, like "A song of fire and ice" case ( and that in my humble opinion is unacceptable)

Here are my arguments for and against fan fiction  the conclussion as always is up to you

My favourite Place

Yes, I'm a bit late but I didn't know that we had to upload this practice until last week.

My favourite place in the world is probably Astoria. It's not a beautiful place but It's the home of almost all my known family (and mine too if I have to be totally sicere). I've lived there for almost three years (actually almost six but I was too young and I don remember anything) and my closest friends are still there. The only curious thing about the town is the bridge  tht crosses the Columbia River (not a river but if the people says so I can't say it's wrong). The one and only curious fact that I know about the town is that  the film The Goonies was filmed there. I'm not sure why this is my favourite place but I can't change the fact that it is.

The town location it's perfect, between Portland and Seattle. It has some amazing beaches but the most important things are the woods. Astoria is really a quiet place with a lot of amazing views and natural sites that are really worth a walk. The city isn't big but you can have almos anything you expect from a metropoli. I really want to end this here.because I suck at describing things, I prefer to show them to people rather than writing about them.
