Sparky's Quill: War Horses, Legends of History

I recently saw the stage production “War Horse.” It was fantastic and I highly recommend it for anyone to watch. The play is based off a children’s book of the same name written in the 1980s by Michael Morpugo.

Art of the Matter: Tuesdays with The Duce

I went swing dancing Tuesday night at The Duce, and it. was. awesome. Now, I didn’t set out with the intent to partake in the dancing, just to watch other people and check out this place that I had heard so much about.

Sparky's Quill: The Demise of the History Channel

Ask almost any history buff if they watch the History Channel and the most likely reply will be, “Oh, yeah, I used to.” One year, I was hell-bent on becoming a director or producer of one of those historical documentaries. But then, the dream faded.

The Video Game Odyssey: A Journey of Imagination and Heart

There are rare instances when gaming commentators, journalists and critics hail a game as a “work of art” or perhaps as a “masterpiece.” The recently released Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch certainly seems to fit the bill, with a triumvirate of impressive names involved in its production.
