Whether it is the graphics, the characters’ artwork, the premise, or the gameplay, there is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I hurt, I tire, and I collapse. When I’m staring into the darkness, I find somehow entranced by it. Suddenly, I hear laughter. Fearless, mean, and yet kind. It calls to me. The days we spend together are long gone, drifting away like clouds in the breeze. Even though memories are often fleeting, all I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Perhaps it is safe to say that Franz Kafka&#8216;s literary uniqueness lies in the fact that he dramatizes conventional figures of speech and endows them with full and consistent detail; his tales act out the implications of metaphors buried in the text. Yet, to see nothing but an extended metaphor in Kafka&#8217;s work is not [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Screwball [pronounced skrue’bol] is a noun that means unbalanced, erratic, irrational, and unconventional, in which became a popular slang word in the 1930s. It was applied to films where everything was a juxtaposition: educated and uneducated, rich and poor, intelligent and stupid, honest and dishonest, and most of all male and female. When two people [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Perhaps the best approach to gloss over the context of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s first novel is by introducing this snippet from “Fitzgerald’s Radiant World,” a critical piece written by Thomas Flanagan of The New York Reviews of Books: This Side of Paradise had had a success, which was almost freakish, capturing the aspirations of a [...]]]></description>
