The Act of Determination
Rusted, with a couple of twitching servos, the droid marched through the grove of tall treetops that towered over him at no end. The moisture of the air could be felt on the pressure of the ground, pushing it with each muddy step.

Have Video Games Reached a Level of Artistic Expression?
Imagine this: You are in a first-person perspective, your virtual office is empty and devoid of any human life, almost as if everyone had vanished into thin air. The narrator tells you that everyone has gone missing and you should go to your boss's office, to check if there was a meeting you missed. Along the way there’s little for you to interact with, as traces of human life still linger, monitors are turned on and papers are ruffled on the floor, all the while the narrator instructs you where to go in this seemingly first level of the game. But then you reach a set of two open doors, so the narrator tells you to ignore one door and go to the one on the left. You are at a fork in the road and the game has already done an exceptional job at engaging you in its setting, to push you to continue to unravel the mystery and leaving you with a choice. Should you follow the narrator and go to the door on the left? Or disobey and take your chances on the right?

What It Means to be CanadianTop Story - August 2017
What do you think makes you a Canadian? Is it about just living in the country? Owning a passport that declares so? Root for the Maple Leaf’s next game? Even being a fan of hockey for that matter? Does embracing the cold weather or surviving it make you any more Canadian than the next guy? How about all those “Eh’s” at the end of each sentence? Or perhaps, it is something much more relevant than some sort of physical or arbitrary element? Truth is, identifying as Canadian means more than those preconceived ideas that one assumes. It is a personal belief defined by your own pride, love, and appreciation of this country’s ethics.
