Geeks Do Go to Heaven
Hello everyone! I am Christopher F. Benson and this is my first foray into this social media website. I hope in the future that I might be able to share with all of you the inner workings of my mind and the many vast and numerous experiences that I have had. One of which I would like to share with you now.

'Twin Peaks' 2017: There's Always Music in the Air
The soundtrack to the original Twin Peaks is one of its most iconic and adored elements; Angelo Badalametti's evocative score, created in direct collaboration with Lynch himself, does an incredible job of enriching the mood and underscoring the emotion of almost every scene. Complimenting this are the songs sung by Julee Cruise; in an unusual feature for the time, Cruise is character herself, a singer at the local bar called the Roadhouse. Her angelic vocals and dreamy melodies created an ethereal ambience to her performances, where the lines between dimensions would often seem to blur; this is perhaps most notable in Episode 14, where the Giant appears on stage over Cruise as she sings a heartbreaking ballad, and delivers a devastating message to Coop, while the Elderly Waiter offers his condolences.

Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2017: Four Comedy Picks
As you may already know, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe is the event of the year for comedians from the UK and further afield, many of whom use it at a chance to test out and previews jokes, sets, and full hour-long stand-up shows. If you missed out this year on 3 weeks of late night, overpriced food vans, lots of prosecco (sometimes too much prosecco, if there is such a thing) and "work in progress" shows, then you will have missed the chance to preview shows that will be taken on tour later in the year, or may form the basis for future shows and tours. Here’s what you need to know.

Design Sins #1 “Die Once, You May as Well Quit”
Creating a great video game is like digital alchemy — part science, part art, and art is subjective. Because of this, what makes a game "great" is also subjective. Some people may love a game, whilst others may hate it, for the exact same reasons! My youngest daughter loves Mario because he is cartoony and cute. I hate Mario because he is cartoony and cute.
