Egad! I have entered the great and mighty labyrinth that is #BOOKTUBE! https://youtu.be/Q_O1mrqOzGY 2020 delivered in one important way--it was chock-full of excellent fantasy novels. I read scores of new releases over the year forever known as "the worst plague year" and while many of them were phenomenal, none reached the heights "The Burning God"... Continue Reading →
Nowhere Prophet Review
Nowhere Prophet is yet another engaging roguelike deck-builder with some fascinating ideas, a few flaws, and a great dystopian aesthetic. Oh, and I didn't mention this in the video but this game has one amazing soundtrack! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSqVMsg9vvU
Darth Vader Vol 01: Dark Heart of The Sith Review by Greg Pak
I'll be, a Darth Vader comic book that taps deep into the prequel movies without mucking things up. This comic book Greg Pak has succeeded where I would've been skeptical he might, and has done so with flying colours. Speaking of colours, two colour schemes dominate the past and present. Neeraj Menon uses a subdued... Continue Reading →
Saturday Star Wars: The Mandalorian’s Second Season Strikes Gold
It's no secret that a lot of the Mandalorian has been about course correcting. From the get-go, the show breaks down a lot of the mythos to their basic building blocks--the first season was one grand experiment, almost, in rediscovering which parts of the Star Wars formula work. The western's classic reluctant hero? Check! The... Continue Reading →

Giant Days Vol. 04 by John Allison – Graphic Novel Review
Previous | Next Hello, friends! Have you heard the word? No, it's not "bird," you brain-addled madperson, it's "brilliant" or "fun" or "stellar"--fine, fine, that's plenty of words. All of them, however, are perfect in encapsulating every single volume of Giant Days I've read thus far; the fourth volume is no exception. This volume opens... Continue Reading →
Baldur’s Gate 3 Early Access: My Favourite Bugs

CD Projekt Red Apologises for That One Small Thing They Hid From Everyone Because of…Reasons?
Yesterday, Cyberpunk's social media channels released one of their walls of text on gaudy yellow background, in which they apologised for releasing the broken console versions of Cyberpunk 2077, the same ones they gave no review copies for and let no one try out before release because...Hmm. That is a tough one. While I think... Continue Reading →
I am Very Excited about the Final Cut of Disco Elysium (Outsider’s Outlook)
It's strange to find out that the most excited announcement that came out of the 2020 Game Advertisements Awards is that of Disco Elysium's massive, free update. The Final Cut promises plenty and knowing ZA/UM, the studio behind this modern classic, I have little doubt that it will deliver. What's more, that this is a... Continue Reading →
