It's like a very, very sick game of endurance. It starts off harmless enough, but the further you go, the more fucked up it becomes. I kept thinking, "That's gotta be it," and then it hit me with something even more off-kilter and disturbing.

So…The Crawling Chaos?

Considering how many up-votes you've collected in your short stay here, you're acting like a giant baby.

If only we mere mortals could see a trailer for a movie and make some insight that it won't be…good.

Some years ago a joker made a Manos: The Hand of Fate game in RPG Maker. The obscure has become the common.

Book shaped like a banana.

Too many words. Stopped reading.

You stand on them to reach the cookies, ya dummy.

If anything was shown in Gone Home, it's that a game's world and story can be the devil in the details. Just about everything could be picked up, looked at, and read. It made the world more believable and felt lived in. Adding something like an expiration date to a jug of milk. It's a simple bit of information, which…

I think Her Story is damn fine, by the way.

To Live.

The mad fool thinks that when Harlan Ellison dies, he'll gain his curmudgeon powers. He'll swell like a balloon, unable to contain so much crankiness, and explode into confetti.

But—gasp!—he needs to read them.

Might as well eat some pills with that wine. You know, for his health.

If you're a fan of anime, I highly recommend tracking down copies of Serial Experiment Lain and Paranoia Agent. Both shows are surreal, dark, and deal with opposing realities that eventually crumble into one. They each have striking visual looks, heavy themes, and portray alienated people. I cannot recommend them both…

Every time I see one of these mash-ups, all I can think of is Scooby-doo Meets _____.
