My Last Show of 2016 (Probably) Imagine a concert featuring Dark Tranquillity, Swallow the Sun, Enforcer, and Starkill. That’s a pretty badass lineup. Anyone would be a fool to pass up a show like this. UNLESS Epica, Fleshgod Apocalypse, Arkona, and The Agonist are playing THE VERY SAME NIGHT. […]
As we hurtle from post-election ennui/consternation/rage/gloating/inebriation into the inebriation/gloating/rage/consternation/ennui of the holiday season and the host of traditions that come with it. This seems like a good time to talk about Traditions. Of course, we have the traditional meals with all the gathering and family and arguments, etc., but we have […]
In The Wake of War There is a lot of sadness in the wake of the passing of Conquest. The lack of ability for Games Workshop to get their heads out of their butts and making generally bad business decisions will hopefully takes its toll soon enough. But let’s set aside […]

When Worlds Collide Arkham Horror The Card Game was released last week. This new Lovecraftian LCG from Fantasy Flight Games sets out to combine the best parts of an RPG and LCG into one glorious package. It is set in FFG’s Arkham Files universe and it is really exciting! The […]
Five Ghosts The horror genre is always a tricky thing for me. While I do admittedly love over the top violence and silliness like in the brilliant TV show, Ash vs the Evil Dead, it seems like much of the genre relies on torture porn to convey its thrills and chills. […]
Watsky’s x Infinity Tour On 8 November 2016, I went to see Watsky perform for the third time in three years. Last year, I presented coverage of his performance and I decided that this year I would do the same. This show was particularly important as he was in support […]
As we’ve just finished up a political season, it seems like a good time to look at another topic that’s at least tangentially related to that “delightful” time.
