Brand Canada
β
With the recent Apple TV update and the release of Apple’s Television app in Canada, I’ve been watching a bit more streaming stuff outside of Netflix. It got me to download the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) app, and I was surprised to see that all of their original series are all available to watch through…

Star Wars: Forces of Destiny
β
For my latest “Sunday Morning Cartoon Cavalcade,” I went through the Forces of Destiny shorts that have been released so far (viewable on YouTube). I liked the idea for these, a series of animated shorts that star a few of the female characters in Star Wars (including my favorite Star Wars character, Ahsoka Tano). Although…

Rakka
β
I’ve been really excited to watched the shorts promised by Oats Studios — the new studio started by Neill Blomkamp — and the first one, Rakka, is really great. It’s made up of vignettes of a future Earth that has been invaded by aliens, and it’s cool to see Sigourney Weaver take part. It’s part…

Amnesia Fortnight 2017
β
When Double Fine Productions did its previous Amnesia Fortnight in 2014, and documented it through a web series, it was one of my favorite “TV” shows of that year.

Screenland
β
I loved this series about game culture so much, I binged all 9 episodes — which you can watch here (although I recommend downloading the Red Bull TV app on Apple TV and watching them that way, which is what I did) — in one night. Each episode explores a different aspect of today’s gaming…

Rediscovering Mystery
β
I’m so in love with the Noclip series of game-related documentaries, and the latest one is called “Rediscovering Mystery,” covering the mysteries and secrets found in games. It features some great interviews, including Spelunky‘s Derek Yu (and I now want to go play Spelunky again). I’m also really happy that they’re going to release follow-up…

Erno & Rubi
β
This is a nice little bit of interactive storytelling (more than a game) and well worth taking the time to check out, especially since itβs free. Taking inspiration from the movements of a Rubikβs Cube, you move aspects of the scene around, creating a story for the two characters that are represented within. It features…

Forgotten
β
I came across Forgotten, a little interactive text adventure game on the web, through this Wired article, and quite liked it. Itβs bite sized, and feels like playing through a short poem, with an aesthetic that reminds me of the good olβ EGA PC gaming days. Well worth the time, and itβs free.
