Dismissing video games as a wasteful leisure is basically like dismissing art altogether. Because video games, at their best, are a beautiful amalgamation of storytelling, cinematography, music, and entertainment which makes for an immersive learning experience and an art form like none other.

Petar loves stories in all shapes and forms, whether they come from the imagination, or are real-life moments, captured and told in imaginative ways. Writing gives him the chance to focus on making his own stories - through words, traveling, having a social excuse to drink a bit more than others, or staying in his pijamas all day long.
Historian is an LA-based psych-folk band which evokes the audio image of a tripping-on-acid Leonard Cohen. And just like a psychedelic journey can have almost diametrically opposite in nature stops, so does Historian’s Expanse LP.
Stand-up comedy is without a doubt the best vocation for edgy individuals and borderline assholes who like to speak their witty minds. Which category Bill Burr falls into is for everyone to decide for themselves, but one thing is certain – hardly anyone takes as much advantage of this unprecedented freedom of speech as he does.
Another one of our idols has fallen from grace, perhaps with the hardest fall yet. How will Louis C.K.'s perversions in real life affect his legacy?
Few directors like Tarantino, Lynch, and Burton have managed to create entire worlds of their own, ones whose trademarks we feel right away. Worlds that seem like most of those signature traits are the result of the collaboration between director and writer, and how could it be any other way? Most of the time the two are the same person.
True Detective Season 1 got us hooked on its plot twists and mystery, but it didn't do anything beyond that. True Detective Season 2 is where Pizzolato's talent for writing dark, melancholic and deeply human noir unfurls. Just like in his debut novel Galveston.
Powerful, melodic and lonesome guitar solos and sections, as well as instrumentals and vocals to match, are pivotal to the band's sound, making The Begowatts’ Grand Charade an EP even picky, nostalgic rock lovers would find themselves tapping and playing air guitar to.
There are times when art makes us experience emotions and ideas that we might not have even experienced in real life. At other times, it becomes a dreamcatcher, bringing to the surface the subtle thoughts from the depths of our minds and the nuanced feelings from the bottom of our hearts, and capturing them for us to understand. There is hardly any other art form where this beautiful power is as palpable as it is in music, and more specifically - sad music.
Mediocrity, whatever form it comes in, is rarely accompanied by large fluctuations in opinions because it simply can’t provoke enough investment and emotion. Hardly any other music genre falls on both ends of the love-and-hate spectrum the same way electronic music's most melodic and stirring manifestations - trance.
Reviving some of the animated classics from the 90's would surely get a lot of nostalgic people hyped. But unless a remake, whatever form it might come in, manages to capture their original essence and give it a fresh spin rather than just be more bait, I’d say some things are better off left in the past.
