I played six hours of God of War with two of my closest friends, and I can't stop thinking about it. It's rare that I'll find a game lingering on my mind after I've put it down. Such games more often are those "just one more turn/game" strategy experiences, which can suck your life away... Continue Reading →
While I've been much engaged in Norse mythology in recent years, the Greek myths and legends have always had a special place in my heart, owed to the fact that I grew up with them. Before the thick volumes of high fantasy, before the Lord of the Rings, my parents and grandparents would tell me... Continue Reading →
Journal Entry The Third My brother, the big-time villain. Who does he think he is, smacking me around, placing chains of iron around MY person, threatening and cajoling me! I'll find his daughter, I will. The question is...where do I begin? ... I've been in a perpetual dream prison for years. The answer is obvious... Continue Reading →

This book is an excellent read, the kind whose characters live with you well after you've put it down for good. Perhaps Senlin Ascends is one of those rare... Continue Reading →

Others, you're too lazy to write... Continue Reading →

So fond, in fact, that I'm taking considerable time from an unfortunately busy schedule to reread and finish it (on my first read, I lost the thread at book 6, The Song of Susannah). I've already spoken about The Gunslinger, and the bell strikes for a recommendation... Continue Reading →
This is the Diary of High Imperial Supreme Sourceror, Sheikh, Sovereign, Suzerain and Ship Captain Maus. If lost and found, please return to: The City (capital of The Empire), 0000, Imperial Palace, Seat of the Empire, Throne Room. Any of them is alright, really. Upon return, you shall be rewarded, and promptly murdered for having... Continue Reading →
Once upon a time, I read Half a King by Joe Abercrombie and was quite fond of it. Half a King was a wonderful entry into the unique brand of subversive storytelling Abercrombie is famed for. It was a thrill to go through but now that I've read four of the six First Law books... Continue Reading →
