Halloween Reminder: Saint Gregory III, Pray For Us
Tomorrow night marks the one celebration that traditionally brings neighbors together to celebrate as a community. Yes, we all grumble about early Christmas decorations and wish each other Happy New Year at parties, but Halloween is the one where you go out and meet your neighbors and share in...
Scorched Earth or Controlled Burn
Generally, I agree with Brian Neiemeier and the rest of the gang when they go strong on this message: Merely mentioning a Disney/Marvel property, even to negatively contrast it with a superior indie work, just gives the Devil Mouse brand social proof as the one to beat. But I’m...
On The Joker
If 1980 Gotham had a 4chan, it could have saved itself a whooooooole lot of trouble....
Send Up The Virtue Signal Signal
Yeah, I’m in. The game so nice, it’s already been banned by OrcaCon despite not being funded, printed, or on the market. Thus proving the point of the game in the first place. What can I say? We’re a homeschool family. A nice educational experience of a game like...

They’re calling for more films by conservative film-makers for conservative movie goers. Likewise with Marvel comics,...
Mutants Versus Mankind
Look upon the works of the Futurians ye mighty, and despair. While looking up links for further reading on how smoking post-Pulp sci-fi gave America’s literary scene cancer, I came across this stunning admission that the Campbellian era laid the foundations for the current dismal state of mainstream publishing....
The Locusts Are At It Again
John W. Campbell, we barely knew ye. Mark your calendars, the Hugos themselves are now shortlisted for the next struggle session. And pretty soon after that, flush toilets. Less than two weeks after the latest parody version of the once-esteemed Hugo Awards, the always tedious Analog Magazine has joined...
