Wakfu and Dofus: An Alex Kogan Post as to Why You Should Watch This French Anime

The last thing you would think about when the topic of anime comes up is France. "France?" you might ask. "What do they have to do anime?" Well it's a good thing you've asked! You see, in my honest opinion, one of France's best areas is in animation!
War on the other hand...

Two semi-popular shows that you might have watched that were animated by French studios were Oban Star Racer, and Code Lyoko. However, in the rough of modern animation there is still a hidden gem that France proceeds to pump out. These are the series known as Wakfu and Dofus!

Comic Books in Real Life: The King and the Captain

Anyone who has talked to me (or heard me talk) for nearly any length of time has probably figured out that I’m obsessed with comic books. I will leap on an opportunity to relate anything I can to a comic book character, story, or idea. Well I've decided to try and do the opposite and explore ways in which comic books have affected the real world in ways even those of you who are not comic book fans like me can appreciate. I’m going to start with someone that I think it’s pretty safe to assume that everyone knows about: Elvis Presley.
You gotta love that smile

Streaming checklist for new streamers

Hey all! Its your special projects manager, here to give you a few tips. The other officers and I are trying to get a few people to stream on our club stream, www.twitch.tv/socialgamingclub. As we are expecting a large number of new streamers, I thought that it would be useful for me to create a streaming checklist for new streamers!

This guide is missing the first few steps; that is, actually downloading the software and getting access to our stream. We still want you to come talk to us regarding these things, partially because we don't want to put club passwords out in the public. But once all the software is set up and you're about to hit the "broadcast" button, make sure that all of these things are in order:

Visual Novel Blabbering Reviews presents "My Girlfriend is the President"

Visual novels(VNs) are a special gem in the 21st century. It's exactly what the name implies, a story with pictures to go along with it!

Undisputably the best Visual Novel of our generation

Most commonly produced in Japan, VNs provide the player/reader with stories of all sorts, ranging from horror, sci-fi, comedy, and even romance! They also have interactive elements, giving the player control on how the story progresses. The most common examples of VNs are the video game series Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, where you play as a lawyer to defend his clients and more recently the cult classic Katawa Shoujo, where essentially you go to a school full of crippled girls for you to fu-Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiii mean a school full of disabled girls for you to have se-Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii mean a romance novel about a young adult who goes to a school full of girls whom suffer from physical challenges which you can enter mature courtships with.


God it's hard to describe that game without sounding creepy... ANYWAY


 Essentially, they are all VNs with the option for the player to interact with the story. This gives the chance for players to experience the rich stories this media has to offer... most of the time anyway. Much like any other form of entertainment, there are the bad that come with the good. There is even the really weird. The VN I am about to explore for you, is just that. Ladies and gentlemen, "My Girlfriend is the President"!
