The games back then had almost a magical quality to a teen. They were like radio, half of it happened in your mind, especially games like Lords of Midnight which really felt like epic fantasy on a scale few other games have ever tackled. And the good old Speccy had some pretty great games that were never released on…

I was a Commodore kid with the C64 and Amiga, but the Sinclair computers would be my second choice if I couldn’t have had them.

Language has had a problem since the first dictionary. There is a sizeable chunk of people who will maintain that language is now set and the peons should simply “learn better”

It’s all about forcing people to become Republicans, keep them in a bubble that makes it impossible to relate to others and only react to the normal population with fear, anger and distrust.

The further you go from the ground, the harder it becomes to do anything, exponentially so.

The review by Redletter Media mentioned the pixels, they figured that one of the camera’s they used must have had sensor issues since it only appeared in certain shots.

The fashion came from Brazil where getting a full tan was more important than life.

The Founding Fathers pretty much laid out the red carpet for today’s Republicans. The original framework was very democratic by the standards of the day.

I’m sorry, but conviction in itself is not a virtue.

It’s a sad story of a man who was almost broken making a film, salvaged from disaster by his collaborators and becomes a huge hit.

When did we get to “Oh, huge page count, this must be awesome !!!” ?

Howard isn’t openly racist in the way Lovecraft is a fearful classist and racist who was obsessed with breeding and hierarchic worldviews. He’s more playing on bad stereotypes of the day and in a more classic storytelling tradition you can have more sympathetic characters than the general stereotype, but Stygians are…

I’ll be in the corner, crying ... RIP
