Who is Peter Pan Based On and Why Do You Think He is the Angel of Death?
I saw an image today that states that the character of Peter Pan was an angel that held kids’ hands on their way to heaven. I was curious so I looked up if there is any truth to the statement.

She pointed out how those early experiences helped generate fond family memories and affected her current interests in storytelling. Other points that were made in the interview pertained to the nature of video games, the publishing industry around them, and the tropes and clichés their stories often rely on.
Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn
As part of the new Halo 4 game release, 343 industries decided to tie in a live action series. There is a stigma that games translate poorly to non-interactive storytelling and for the most part that tends to be true. Games can take anywhere from 6-8 hours to play through, that’s not including RPGs which can consume 50-70 hours, or your whole life if it’s an MMO. Having to cram all that story into an hour and a half can be a bit daunting. Thankfully director Stewart Hendler and writers Todd Helbing and Aaron Helbing have been doing a weekly webseries that uses the Halo universe but tells a story we haven’t seen yet…
