Always thought the C96 was a cool looking design. My go in any game featuring it for that alone.

The New Weird, an anthology edited by the VanderMeers. Not all horror per se but if you enjoy Ligotti he is in there along with many similar writers. Its a massive collection but well worth it. I found only 2 or 3 stories that I didn't enjoy and perhaps 2 others that I liked but felt didn't fit thematically.

My paternal grandfather is a combat vet of WW2 and Korea and he enjoys watching old war films and military history shows, which surprises me considering what he must have experienced. My grandmother once told me he would have bad nightmares about it but that was almost ten years ago. I don't believe he does anymore as…

Quite surprised to find that her Pacific Rim character has such a strong following. As an Asian-American,I found it to be a racist caricature. The standard Asian female- very docile, submissive, and exotic- but good at martial arts! Just waiting for a strong white guy to win her over. Also, raised by a westerner. Then…
