the company best known for selling packs of indie games at
pay-what-you-want prices. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. This is
potentially a big deal for game developers, since Humble has expanded
beyond its bundling business to publish games, pay devs to make games
for its subscription-based monthly game club, maintain a
subscription-based online game trove, and operate an online game
storefront. However, <a href="http://blog.humblebundle.com/post/166366386976/humble-bundle-is-joining-forces-with-ign">a press release confirming the deal</a>

changes.” <br>

If you don't watch that show or remember that scene, I probably look insane to you. :)"</blockquote>

"<a href="https://youtu.be/FN5n87Gj0LM">What Makes Black Mirror So Dark</a>" by <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJkMlOu7faDgqh4PfzbpLdg">Nerdwriter1</a></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
In this excellent video essay on the incredible dystopian Netflix series <i><a href="https://https//www.netflix.com/title/70264888">Black Mirror</a></i>, Youtuber <a href="http://www.patreon.com/nerdwriter">Evan Puschak</a> aka <a href="https://www.facebook.com/The-Nerdwriter-314141501931192/">The Nerdwriter</a> takes a deep look into how the series effects such a dark tone. Puschak
notes that Aristotle defined tragedy as a “safe place to feel pity and fear
in a safe environment” resulting a cathartic response. Due to the show's unique structure, the audience is never allowed to achieve catharsis and is left with only raw feelings towards each character, making them more relatable.<br />
<blockquote>
What Charlie Brooker the intensely smart creator of
‘Black Mirror’ has given us our tragedies that are often senseless in
other words tragedies that withhold catharsis. The result I think, is
that we end up feeling much closer to these stories. The cathartic
appreciation that’s meant to transform our pity and our fear never comes
and we’re just left with the pity and the fear. So why do we watch
Black Mirror if it robs us of the pleasure often associated with
tragedy. I think it’s because this feeling is a truly unique one in TV
it’s unlike most other shows.</blockquote>

For the past ten years, local artists in the Niigata prefecture in Northern Japan build incredible animal sculptures out of rice straw for the annual <a href="http://www.city.niigata.lg.jp/nishikan/about/kankou/wara-art/warasakuhin-syoukai/wara27sakuhin.html">Wara Art Festival</a>. “Wara” is the Japanese term for rice straw. It’s what remains after the
rice harvest. Some regions use it to feed livestock or improve the
soil. But students from <a href="http://mauml.musabi.ac.jp/en/">Musashino Art University</a> it to make these enormous sculptures. The sculptures are currently on display through October 31, 2017 at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Uwasekigata-Park/886887264687054">Uwasekigata Park</a>.<br>
<blockquote>
The
Wara Art Festival all started in 2006 when the local district reached
out to Musashino Art University to seek guidance on transforming their
abundant amount of rice straw into art. And in 2008, the very first Wara
Art Festival was held. Since then, every year the school sends art
students up to Niigata to assist in creating sculptures made out of rice
straw. The festivities have ended but the sculptures are on display
through October 31, 2017.</blockquote>
To mark the 10th anniversary of the Wara Art Festival participants made this year’s sculptures twice as large as usual.
