This is a small update to how I’m going to be handling book reviews and my What I Read Last Month feature. Rather than review all of what I read in a month in one big post, I’ll be writing individual book reviews in separate posts. Pretty much

Bethesda Game Studios has made my favorite games. I can’t tell you how much I love Fallout 3. It changed my gaming world in 2008. And though it’s cool to hate on Fallout 3 and laud Fallout New Vegas as superior, I will always have a place in

Halloween may be over, but the scares don’t have to end. If you’re looking for some horror book recommendations, here’s what I read during the spookiest month of the year. We’ve got underwater terror, demonic possessions, other mothers, and more. The Deep by Nick Cutter The

Ebooks are great. In so many ways, they’ve made reading a bit more portable and convenient, while also preserving the medium in the digital age. But different digital storefronts sell different ebook filetypes and different forms of DRM (Digital Rights Management). DRM’s goal is to curb piracy, and

Overwatch’s Mercy is dead. And Blizzard has killed her. Mercy was killed slowly, meticulously, as if with malice. Mercy, one of the most popular characters in Overwatch has been reduced to a shadow of who she is, so far removed from the character that many fell in love with.
In our first Halloween Special we confront our fears by looking at the Clown Sightings of 2016. We cut through the media (and meme) frenzy and figure out where all these evil “entertainers” came from. Who is the evil clown patient zero? Why are we so afraid of clowns? How

This is the first post in a new series I’m trying out where I’ll recap what I read last month. I’m going to give a mini-review and talk a bit about what I thought of each book. I’ll avoid spoilers as much as possible; I’d

If you read my post last week about reading (please do check if out if you haven’t) you’ll know that I’ve fallen deeply, madly in love with e-ink. I adore the reading experience on my Kindle Paperwhite, but I won’t rehash that here. A couple months
You’ve come far, pilgrim. Our look into Cicada 3301 concludes with the evidence and the theory that Cicada is a cult, and we try to make sense of the myriad references Cicada used in their puzzles, as well as some potential first-hand sources inside Cicada. Topics include William Blake,

Believe it or not, earning an English degree doesn’t require as much reading as you might imagine. Sure, you’re reading a fair amount, but it isn’t quite the same as sitting down to read a novel. Because of class length, and needing to get through as much
We’re back with a deep dive into another Internet rabbit hole, plunging headfirst into the strange, cryptic scavenger hunt known as Cicada 3301. In this first part we get into the background behind some shadowy puzzles and start to figure out just what Cicada could be, and we discover
Kept you waiting, huh? It Doesn’t Add Up is back after far too long and this time we dive into the conspiracy theory that seems to have a second life. Originally unearthed in 2012, resurrected in 2017, we take a look at the evidence that insists pop star Avril
The Vinyl Frontier is a brand new radio show with a decidedly old-school twist. Every song you hear is straight off a record, the way it was meant to be heard. So grab a nice pair of headphones, or turn up the hi-fi, and enjoy. For this first episode, the
This time around we’re taking a look at time travel claims, hoaxes, and conspiracies. Who is CERN, and just what are they up to? Did a group of children lose their legs and meet George Washington? Other topics include: urban legends, advertising, video games, unicorns, and a bunch of
Persona 5 comes out in almost a week. I’ve been waiting for years now. In order to get ready, I decided to try to get the platinum trophy for Persona 4 Golden, one of my favorite games, beforehand. I’m probably a crazy person. I’ve been streaming, and
