 Now let me turn to my channel Games and Flix.


In this channel I talk games and movies, so having in mind that "simplicity is the ultimate sophistication" I named it Games and Flix. Simple and direct.

By the way "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication" is a maxim often attributed to the great Leonardo da Vinci. As much as I agree with the quote and it would be pretty awesome if da Vinci had said it first, that may not be the case. I found a cool article exploring the possible origins of the quote via Quote Investigator. You can check it on this link.




From the beginning I wanted to incorporate elements associated with movies and video games. I finally decided to have a film reel whose holes were filled with buttons from famous gaming consoles. 


I'm representing Playstation with the "square" and "triangle", X-Box with the "x" and "y" from Nintendo. The "play" symbol in the middle can be applied to both movies and games. I represented most of the gaming spectrum even though there's no element specific to PC. But PC gaming is covered in spirit. 😉 We're all gamers, be it on PC or console.

It patiently awaits You'r e cal mly sipping a coffee late into the night in a kitchen partly lit by two LED lights placed strategically , illuminating just enough to allow you to move around in the kitchen and find everything you may need . While sitting and enjoying the hot beverage , you have an open view of a dark hallway leading to the living room . Veiled by darkness , you get to make out a few shapes, such as a lamp , a chair and a small table , but the corner of your eye catches something .   Your gaze is then turned to the cup for another sip when your brain realizes something is off. Eyes quickly move from the dark liquid to the dark corridor when you notice something seems to appear in the corner, at the end of the corridor leading to the living room .     No.   It's always been there ! Something akin to a pair of eyes staring at you all that long. The befudd

Draconia - Medieval fantasy style short story

-
 It's been a while since my first post, but here's another short story. A little piece of medieval fantasy, video game-like idea that came to mind. 😉 DRACONIA   I sincerely hope there is enough ink and parchment for me to register my most recent undertaking. As I made my way to the Northlands to receive the payment for my recent job, I chanced upon a town called Æsterya and decided to visit it and offer my mercenary services. That way I would make some more money and perchance easily get my hands on a few gold pieces before moving on to the Northlands and their big walled city.     You see, I've had a sword in my hands ever since I was a kid. It is what I do. I wield it, I swing it and sometimes kill with it. Services may involve dealing with creatures of the night, demons or simply despicable humans. With the latter kind things tend to be easier, since, at times, there's no need to tarnish my sword with blood and I can simply use intimidation tactics t

Dragoneye

Firstly, let me start saying that I didn't know what to use in the title of this post😂 but Dragoneye sounds cool enough. Speaking of cool, dragons are cool, right? This sketch taught me something: sketching dragons and bump some heavy metal in your earphones go perfectly along like coffe and milk, like chocolate and peanut butter, like burger and fries? You get the picture. It's feels great to get "in the zone", simply immersed in the task. Dragons are metal... so why not sketch some while listening to metal? Not too lound, of course, please protect your ears. 😉
