White Wolf announces official Vampire makeup collection
Is this the first time a tabletop games publisher has had an official set of makeup? I can only imagine that some of the gamers who tend to be unwelcome and unrequested gatekeepers, unwilling to accept that women are equally likely as men to be into roleplaying, will be rolling their eyes at this news.

Netflix sneaks out a trailer for Castlevania season 2
The trailer for Castlevania season 2 has come out via producer Adi Shanker rather than the main site. It looks great.

Flirting with the surreal: A review of Kizumonogtari
I’m told it has previously been quite hard to jump into the quirky, sometimes adult, Kizumonogtari series. Actually, a quick look on Amazon seems to confirm that with a host of anime and manga with similar names and characters. The good news is that this three-part film is a prequel. Start here.
