In celebration of Father’s Day, Capcom is releasing a small update for PRAGMATA today, which includes the charming Scribble Suit, which originally appeared in the game’s Sketchbook Demo. This hand-drawn gift from Diana is now available to decorate Hugh’s space suit during the duo’s adventures in the full game. In the sci-fi adventure game PRAGMATA, astronaut Hugh Williams has a hybrid father-daughter relationship with a childlike android identified as Pragmata D-I-0336-7, but Hugh calls Diana. The two find themselves trapped on a remote lunar research facility filled with rogue AI controlled robots as players try to find a way to escape as they make their way through the game.
PRAGMATA celebrated a two million sales milestone shortly after its initial launch in April of this year by CAPCOM, and has garnered critical acclaim for delivering a fresh gameplay experience that offers an innovative fusion of action and puzzle elements. The game has also won over audiences worldwide with its heartfelt story following the journey of spacefarer Hugh and his curious android companion Diana, who forge an unlikely bond as they attempt to escape together from the moon.

Parents of preschoolers can have some Halloween fun with their children enjoying kindie rock artist Laurie Berkner's new music video HALLOWEEN TRAIN. Laurie is known for her tunes that combine educational elements within entertaining music for young audiences. Business Insider dubbed Laurie “the gold standard of the children’s music world.” As a leader and innovator in children’s music and entertainment for more than 25 years, Laurie has released 14 bestselling, award-winning albums (with a 15th album, Another Laurie Berkner Christmas, set for release on October 28), was the first recording artist to ever appear in music videos on Nick Jr., appeared regularly on the network’s Jack’s Big Music Show, and helped develop the short form animated musical preschool series Sing It, Laurie! on Sprout TV.
In her YouTube video, kids can help Laurie count spooky creatures as they ride into October on this very special train. The Halloween Train is a place where bats, cats, spiders, and ghosts ride, where kids get to be the conductor ("All aboard!"), pull the train whistle (choo-choo!), and move their bodies, all while celebrating one of their favorite holidays with a song they can't help but sing along with. As the song says, "Let's get on the Halloween Train!"

A visit to the library was always an exciting experience for me as a kid. I loved scouring the book shelves looking for a new adventure to immerse myself in. From Roald Dahl children's novels like James and the Giant Beach and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory to teen mysteries like Alfred Hitchcock and the Three Investigators and The Hardy Boys, reading was the primary source of entertainment during my youth. I'm dating myself but this was a time before video games were common place, you had to go to a theater to watch a movie, there were really only four or five tv channels to watch, and the Internet hadn't even been imagined yet. So libraries were the place to go if you wanted to experience some amazing adventures!
Libraries hold a special place in my heart. They are also in a tough spot as digital resources have people going to computers, mobile devices and televisions for their media instead of pulling books from the physical shelves at a library. Yet in my opinion there is still value to libraries in my opinion because they provide a sense of place and community that you can't get sitting around your own home or looking at a mobile device when traveling about.
My kids love going to the library for the experiences they've had ... summer programs where they've earned rewards and participated in themed parties, reading to therapy dogs to build up their literacy skills, singing along to kindie rock performances, participating in a LEGO building camp are just a few examples of the fun times my son and daughter have had.
Their library experiences are different than mine but yet just like me I am sure when they are adults both of them will have wonderful childhood memories of visiting this special place. That is why while it seems that libraries are archaic it is not time to give up on them yet.
They aren't places just filled with book shelves anymore, libraries are multi-dimensional resources that get us out of sheltering at home and engaging in educational and entertaining experiences. We are in a time when librarians aren't shooshing people but rather encouraging interactions and discussions. With all the divisiveness in society right now the sense of community a library provides may never have been in greater need.
With that in mind, I was geeked to learn that one of my favorite kindie rock artists, Sean McCollough, has created an anthem in support of libraries. His new single "Tales of Tails" is a salute to libraries and an encouragement of reading. If you love libraries like my family does check out this music video and pass it on!
Sean McCollough has made a career of making music for kids and their grown-ups. He provides sophisticated musical tones that are also sensible and relatable tunes for young audiences making his songs appreciable for the whole family. Sean tosses in educational insights that compliment the entertaining vibe of his family-friendly performances making him a stand out kindie rock artist that both parents and children can appreciate. That is why he has a Geek Daddy nod of approval. You can learn more about and experience his music at seanmccollough.com

Walt Disney Studio's animated motion pictures are known for their musical numbers and its upcoming movie ZOOTOPIA will be no exception to that proven formula for box office success. A big part of the film's story will revolve around Gazelle, the biggest pop star in the world of Zootopia which is a modern metropolis populated by wild animals -- a place where no matter what you are, from the biggest elephant to the smallest shrew, you can be anything. This singing gazelle will be voiced by Grammy-winning singer Shakira who also will be performing an all-new original song for the movie titled "Try Everything."
Disney just released a music video of Shakira singing "Try Everything" as well as made the song available to purchase via iTunes to help hype the movie. "Try Everything" was jointly written by Australian singer-songwriter Sia and the Norwegian songwriting and production duo Stargate. Walt Disney Records soundtrack to ZOOTOPIA will be released on the same day the movie arrives in movie theaters across the United States, March 4, 2016.
