ANIMAL’s “Game Plan” feature asks game developers to share a bit about their process and some working images from the creation of a recent game. This week, we spoke with Allen Trivette, creator of the indie game Spirits of Xanadu. If you’re a fan of science fiction in any medium, the premise of Spirits of […]
With its oversized Stars and Stripes draped across the stock exchange, sacred skyscraper that stands 1776 feet tall, and giant statue nicknamed “Lady Liberty,” NYC is widely portrayed as a bastion of patriotism and freedom. But when it comes to July 4, the nation’s most chest-thumping, independence-promoting holiday, it’s illegal to light what the law […]

They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.” This stupid statement cost him deals with NBC, Spanish-language […]
