StoryHack! Six, The Last Last Night
Live now. The last installment of Last Night at O’Reilly’s hits the big time with this sixth issue of the best action-packed magazine going. This time we follow in the footsteps of the man himself, O’Reilly, as he juggles events and struggles to keep stubborn employees, Federal agents, and...
We Will Never Know
Models. Don’t talk to me about models. When the world doesn’t quite work the way you want it to work, you can always rely on the models to tell you what you wanted to hear. The thing about mathematical models is that they are tools. Not sacred writ, and...
Spreading the Love: Hard and Thick
Do you have the fever for adventure? Clocking in at nearly 200,000 words, 241 full-sized pages, and with a title so nice it had to colon twice, now you can get a dead-tree version of Corona-Chan: Spreading the Love: Infectious Tales of Fantasy and Suspense Designed to Spread the...
Squirmish!
There’s really only one way to spend the extra time granted by the hiatus in my daily commute: gaming with the kids. We’ve had Squirmish sitting around for a while, but no chance to get into the nuts and bolts until Coronachan paid us a little visit. It is...

Corona(4)Chan

A Possible Sniper in the Guerilla Cultural War
Here’s a strange thing for you. Somebody published a book – now unavailable – about how to use the current “Believe All Women” social and legal framework to remove any man from power. From the description: In How to Destroy A Man Now (DAMN), Dr. Angela Confidential (a business...
Panfilov’s 28
My discursion into Russian cinema in search of a high-T alternative to Hollywood’s low-T offerings has had mixed results. The Guardians is Moscowood’s answer to the Avengers by way of a plot reminiscent of an Asylum film without the cheeky self-awareness. The opening twenty minutes offers a largely “as...
A Very Special Episode of Geek Gab
Tomorrow, yours truly will be making an appearance as a very special guest on a very special episode of Geek Gab. We’ll be talking about all the usual stuff: films, games, books, and more! Here’s last week’s episode:...
