Hey Everyone
It’s been brought to my attention by Lauren there will be a social media meet up at The Argyle (1575 Argyle Street) at 6:00 p.m on Thursday, April 24. Special thanks to Ben for setting a date and time.
There should be both industry professionals and students in attendance. A great place to meet and share ideas with the “web wizards” of Halifax. If there is a great response for this upcoming social media meet up it may become a monthly thing! Very cool!
As more and more old school/traditional media companies fight to stave off piracy, said companies are scrambling to get legitimate/legal media consumption sites online (ie hulu). I came across a great list of online “television” sites that will stream some unique content to your PC for your viewing pleasure. Guaranteed to to help get through a boring day at work, or help procrastination just a little longer on that term paper that is due tomorrow. This list definitely offers more than your typical skate boarding/piano playing Youtube cats!

When I saw this movie trailer released I thought it was a April Fool’s Day prank (as many online thought). Turns out this is real. The story of Zelda holds a place in my heart. I remember being seven years old and getting “Zelda: A Link to the Past” with the Super Nintendo. From that point on hundreds of hours were spent over the next few years beating this game over and over. Never losing interest or getting tired of it regardless how much it was played. I then went on to play and eventually beat “Zelda” for the original Nintendo. I tried my hand at “Zelda two” entitled “Link” on the NES, but never did manage to beat it. From time to time I still haul out the old SNES and play “Zelda: A Link to the Past” and reminise back to a time when games were simple in graphics (compared to nowadays), but big on story. This Zelda series captured the imagination of an entire generation (mine) and from what I hear, is still doing so on the Wii and more recent consoles.
I think it’s time to go digging through my closet and take a walk down memory lane (again).
Does anyone else remember the Zelda Animation Series? I bought series this on DVD two years ago. Great series for a Zelda fan.
Update 2 April 2008: It turns out this REALLY is an April Fools Day gag. With all the video game to movie adaptations being done I’m honestly surprised Zelda has never been done. Maybe I’ll be surprised and someone will do it seeing the response from this April Fools Day Gag.
