Casting Deep Meteo
A grandiose painting of the famous Trojan horse from The Illiad being wheeled through the gates.

Threading the Timeline

By Levi Rubeck • June 9th, 2023

What is myth and legend other than image control, public relations, bending truth into natural blondness (or just that if one’s hair is blond they are a blonde).

Casting Deep Meteo
Art from Dordogne shows a girl in a wide-brimmed pink hat traversing a sunny forest with a small black cat. The cat looks frightened but the girl is calm.

Beats and Feets at PAX East 2023

By Levi Rubeck • May 10th, 2023

PAX East 2023, mostly the same as it ever was. (A place with cool games!)

The title text for The Light of Mount Horrid, done in brush strokes and text that appears to be creeping out of the woods

Rolling The Light of Mount Horrid to Life

By Levi Rubeck • April 11th, 2023

From page one the lore of Mount Horrid is spelled out clearly and deliciously, unflinching in welding together escapades and caesura.

Managing Minds and Blue Fascists at PAX Unplugged 2022

By Levi Rubeck • March 10th, 2023

Levi plays a few games and waxes a little nostalgic at PAX Unplugged.

Casting Deep Meteo
Artwork from the table-top RPG MÖRK BORG depicting a two-headed dragon-like creature. One head has the antlers of a 12-point buck.

Mapping MÖRK BORG’s Cruel Delights

By Levi Rubeck • February 8th, 2023

Then it hit me, like a dirty lightbulb in an ancient office that’s gone undisturbed for far too long – I can draw these rooms.

Casting Deep Meteo
A close-up of the gremlin Brain from Gremlins 2. He looks a bit more intelligent than his brethren due to the wire-rimmed glasses magnifying his yellow-red eyes.

Stripe, Mohawk, Brainy, Linux, Windows

By Levi Rubeck • January 10th, 2023

It’s a miracle any hardware, software, or network has run as long as they have, and we are best not considering that miracle and its ties to nuclear armament systems and whatnot. Better to concern ourselves with the gremlins in our own home, for now.

Ghost of Tsushima and the Cutting Word

By Levi Rubeck • December 16th, 2022

Reading poetry becomes work; writing poetry is meant to be freedom unbound.

Barry Windsor-Smith’s Taxonomy of Monsters

By Levi Rubeck • November 9th, 2022

Barry Windsor-Smith is a veteran of superhero comics, and as such, knows that you can’t title a book Monsters without a menagerie of such.

Casting Deep Meteo
The protagonist of the videogame Severed Steel holds two pistols akimbo as she crouches down low, ready for all takers.

The Fresh and Vertical

By Levi Rubeck • October 11th, 2022

Lately Levi’s been picking through Severed Steel, a title still honing in on the parkour and the shooting but sidestepping long set pieces for a series of puzzle rooms and time dilation.

Detail from Blind Girls' The Weight of Everything album cover art, featuring a spiderweb of cracked glass.

The Meat Box: Four Quick Bites

By Levi Rubeck • September 12th, 2022

With nary a word of acknowledgement, Levi casts such deep meteo he ends up mimicking Noah Springer’s “The Beat Box” column. Good picks, though.
