Hot: It’s rare that I decide to comment on political matters, or politics in general. I find the entire subject fraught with philosophical dead ends and sand pits. Politics deals with handling the issues of large numbers of people by trying to make decisions that effect the masses while pleasing as many of them as [...]
Hot: Cults, knives, women in chains, violent vegetation, Shub Niggurath, evil hillbillies and fnord! The game in this review has all of these. Lonely Places is an amateur text adventure game by author, Call of Cthulhu player and vet Nick Marsh. It’s a call back to the days of old when computer games came in [...]
Hot: Next week, as dictated by The Ad Contrarian, is SHUT THE FUCK UP WEEK. Or as he elects to (more diplomatically) call it “Worldwide No Blogging Week“. It’s intended to span August 25th through September 1st. I for one, will be observing this. It just so happens that I’m taking this time off work [...]
Hot: Today, while walking to work, the darnedest thing happened. A shifty-eyed man with a sparse mustache approaches me, carrying a large package. He’s dressed like a UPS man, but his uniform is generic. No badge. No hat. Are those Chucks peeking out from below his pants? “Hi miss…” he stutters, spit collecting in the [...]

Crisp suits, slick and greasy hair, shifty bright eyes, and utter animal stupidity were readily apparent upon a quick glance. Typical upper-class white [...]
Hot: It’s a two for one special! Come for the paraphrasing of a pretty funny BBC article, and stay for the hook up on ancient cannabis usage! I happened to pop my head into the ectochat and what to my wondering eyes did appear but a BBC article link! Upon following it I discovered that [...]
Hot: Nothing makes you think harder about the quality of your life than having the shits. Truly. Nothing gives you more pause for thought than when your colon is doing things you know damn well it oughtn’t do at all.
Hot: Remember a while back when I told you all about Haluz 2? Well, Jay is Games reported on Wednesday that the second half – which was previously available for a modest fee – is now available for free! Check it out at haluz2.net for lots of beautiful point-and-click puzzle adventures.
Hot: Just in time for both Cthuhlu Cthursday and Vag Day- I mean – Valentine’s Day, here’s a card for your scrumptious puppet of fear, madness, and in some cases the wasted human expression known as “love”. Although he waits in a death-like slumber, Cthuhlu is still polite enough to at least send a card [...]
