Creativity Kills: Interesting ways to slay your foes in D&D
Warning; NSFW language in places. This is a year old video from CrossPlatform ActionSquad in which they reminisce on murderous adventures, lucky dice rolls and players hacking through the zombie threat in unexpected ways.

Stick with it: A review of Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere
I found Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere incredibly confusing and almost frustrating to begin with. It looked like an incredibly cosmopolitan collection of students in training and apparently running the city. By “cosmopolitan” I mean we had mechs, witches, naked but not anatomically complete incubus, sports stars with eyes in their hats, buxom school […]

Dealing with death through doppelgangers: Hal movie review
Hal is a movie about a robot who becomes human as part of an outlandish attempt at “robot therapy”. In this instance we’re dealing with someone who’s not been able to cope with the death of a loved one and has withdrawn from the world. The robot “Q01” doesn’t just become human – they become […]
Steins;Gate: Fuka Ryouiki no Déjà vu movie review
Steins;Gate began life as a visual novel in Japan. It’s one of those games where the ‘player’ gets to read through like a book, with pictures of the characters, and occasionally has a choice to make that effects what happens next. It’s useful to know that those “make a choice now” moments are represented in […]
