The Hammersmith Apollo has been host to an array of acts over its 79-year life span. Its walls are a myriad of fame with signed pictures from Kylie to Kasabian making up the decor. However this week a very different performance graced the Apollo stage. The magic of one of the most successful video game franchises ever seen descended upon London for the closing night of the Legend of Zelda 25th Anniversary Symphony Concert.
The evening was hosted by none other than Robin Williams daughter, Zelda Williams. Yes, her namesake is due to her fathers’ love of the series, or so we are told. After relaying quips about her favourite Ocarina melody, Ms Williams introduced Nintendo legend Eiji Aonuma on stage to drum up the crowd. Having worked on the Zelda series for over 13 years, the crowd hung onto his every word, creating a cacophony whenever the “Z word” left his lips.

This is my first step towards fulfilling my new-year resolution: to post items of interest in a timely fashion. (There are two assumptions there: that I can post anything in a timely fashion, and that this is interesting, but bear with me.) If I close these windows, my browser will run faster and new posts will go up faster. That's the theory, if that doesn't work, I'm getting a new computer and declaring email bankruptcy.
* In the strictest sense, this probably counts as a comic strip. And now the song will be stuck in your head.
* If you've recently become unemployed, here's what you've been missing-- part Dilbert, part Kafka, part symbolic self-immolation.
* How comics can save us from scientific ignorance.
* Will Elder, remembered by the New York TImes Magazine.
* "I usually dream up a dozen or so profoundly stupid 'high concepts' for stories every day." — Brian K. Vaughan, interviewed in Esquire.
