If you like sports then you’re more willing to strike deals with demons
Have you noticed how mainstream media is always very quick to point out if a criminal was a gamer – or whether a suspected criminal was a gamer. Statistically it’s likely that some of the worst criminals in today’s society are football fans but that’s not a parallel the media like to point out. In […]

Lost & Found: A Review and Play report of Trail of Cthulhu

Legacy is classic post-apocalypse adventure, complete with mutant monsters, weird and wild technology, and even a Maelstrom to […]
Made real: The gun from Psycho-Pass stuns
I rather enjoyed Psycho Pass. At a first glance it is set in a wonderful future in which the police leave you entirely alone because they can tell who’s guilty. At a second glance things get dark quickly. It’s not just your intent to do something criminal but the possibility of you doing so that […]
