If you like sports then you’re more willing to strike deals with demons

July 28, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

July 27, 2015 by Ed Leave a Comment

This past weekend, I got a group together to play Pelgrane Press’ Trail of Cthulhu. Though the game came out in 2008, I never got a chance to play it, until now. Designed by Kenneth Hite, Trail of Cthulhu is one of several games powered by the GUMSHOE System. The design philosophy behind the GUMSHOE system is that in an […]

Made real: The gun from Psycho-Pass stuns

July 22, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

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.
