Indie Game Jam Event Round Up
Last weekend, that is the 27th-28th of August, we got to be a part of something quite spectacular, The Indie Game Jame. A competition where game developers were to make a game around a given theme within a 24 hour time limit. Now this isn’t your regular competition where people are biting each other’s heads off to get in front. This event was more casual than our office’s dress c...
Top Video Game Villains You Love To Hate
What are heroes without their counterparts? Nothing really, if you ask me. Conflict only arises when there are two clashing/opposing views. Without villains conflict does not exist and without conflict, nothing is learned, nothing is gained, nothing really happens. A hero can never be truly valued without a villain, making the antagonist absolutely necessary in any sort of narrative. What really m...

India has taken a fair bit of time, but has started making it’s mark in the entertainment industry across the world perhaps now more than ever before. Portrayal of India/Indians around the world over time has definitely increased.

You’ll Be Surprised To See How Many of These Games Were Made By Indian Developers
Did you know that a lot of the animation for movies like Life of Pi, Avatar, Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe were all done in India? I read somewhere that each hair on Aslan’s mane was individually controlled to give the best visual appeal. Next time while waiting for the extra scene in an X-men or Deadpool movie, just pay a little more attention to the names mentioned...
Google’s Rio Olympics 2016 Doodle Mini-Games Are Addictively Fun
Google never misses a chance to make the most of an international occasion by showcasing it as the day’s doodle. For those of you who don’t know what a Google doodle is, it’s a small animation/picture or game that appears on Google’s homepage (google.com). The number of times I’ve gone onto Google to look for something and ended up reading about the featured doodle is...
Lego Marvel’s Avengers Review
If you think about it, the Lego franchise is smart (and cheap) as they pretty much lift characters, plots and scripts from the movies itself. Lego Avenger’s revolves around plots from various Marvel movies like The Avengers, The Avengers: Age of Ultron, Captain America, Captain America: Winter Soldier, Iron Man 3 and Thor. Traveller’s Tales seamlessly manages to add the same slapstick ...
Mystery Rooms – Delhi’s New Pass-Time Activity
When I was told that today morning that I had to check out this “mystery room” somewhere near Rajouri Garden, I was a bit bummed out. The first thing that came to my mind was that ‘Bhoot Bangla’ in Appu Ghar and those things were pretty pathetic. I’d heard of this concept and saw it on an episode of Impractical Jokers where Sal was made to pee his pants in one of these rooms. For those who don’t r...
