Win Butler DJs Arcade Fire Party At Bootleg
Coachella 2014 headliners Arcade Fire will keep the party going following their upcoming local tour dates. The Canadian band has booked two nights at The Forum in Inglewood on Friday, August 1, and Saturday, August 2—and will host an afterparty at Bootleg HiFi on Saturday, August 2, at midnight! DJ Windows 98 and Phi Slamma Jamma will spin tunes throughout the event, which also includes the North American screening of Arcade Fire's short film "Festi," which was edited by Arts+Labor affiliate Jesse Hill as a narrative project on the ghost of Jim Morrison.
Goodbye, WildStar
For me, another MMO bites the dust. The waning interest left me wondering if I was past leveling characters in the genre.� Then I considered that GW2 wasn’t all that long ago.� I leveled 2 characters to max and enjoyed every minute of it.� I also stayed very active in GW2 for several months after. Nope, this was merely a waning interest in leveling in WildStar.
What Happened
There is something about the world design that made it feel chopped up and artificially segmented.� It kept reminding me, I was in a game. The only thing I can liken it to is Star Trek Online and Age of Conan.� I mentioned before that the humor was engaging but at the same time, I wondered if it was leading to the disconnect I had with my character.� The game doesn’t take itself too seriously so by association, I wasn’t taking the character seriously either?

ArcheAge Beta
Like WildStar (WS), ArcheAge (AA) wasn’t on my radar. I’d heard of it but not having much success with Asian imports in the past, I wrote it off.� In between MMOs again, I started watching Twitch streams and noticed more and more AA offerings so I started watching. Initially, I didn’t see anything that would make me scrounge for a BETA key / invite or purchase my way into it, so the thought of the game passed.
My son started playing GW2 again but not with much regularity.� Bored by the lack of a more traditional expansion, he began another search for an alternative.� Since he’s a PVP fanboi, he decided to pay his way into the AA Alpha. I messed around on his account for a bit which piqued my interest.� That combined with finding more varied game play on Twitch, I saw enough to want my own account.
