Unwinnable Monthly – January 2023

By David Shimomura • January 19th, 2023

Welcome to 2023!

Fantasy Gamer’s Compendium

By Stu Horvath and John McGuire • January 16th, 2023

Third party publishing, ’80s-style.

Here's the Thing

Two close-ups on a Transformer toy's head and face. Each image is slightly different, as if gremlins were playing with the settings on the production line at the Transformer toy factory.

Gremlins in My Toys

By Rob Rich • January 12th, 2023

Rob notes that gremlins – as a metaphorical concept – aren’t just a problem for the usual suspects. They can also gum up the works during action figure manufacturing.

Forms in Light

An artist's interpretation of several small gremlins tinkering with the wings and body of a WWII bomber plane.

Gremlins on Board

By Justin Reeve • January 11th, 2023

Before there was the movie, there was the real thing. I’m of course talking about the little monsters that tear apart airplanes whenever pilots aren’t looking.

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.

Dungeons & Dragons Third Edition

By Stu Horvath and John McGuire • January 9th, 2023

The great revival? A natural progression? Or something in-between?

Rookie of the Year

Rand Peltzer, inventor patriarch of the family featured in the film Gremlins, sits at the kitchen table with a face full of shaving cream while his son Billy looks on, laughing.

Ranking the Gremlins Gizmos

By Matt Marrone • January 6th, 2023

In honor of Rand Peltzer, we have decided to rank the unappreciated genius’ six greatest gizmos, from worst to first.

Interlinked

Greta, the female gremlin from Gremlins 2, poses in a sequined red gown and pink feather boa, a large red flower pinned to her shiny green mane of wavy tresses. Her makeup is flawless on her scaly green face.

Gremlin Girl Energy

By Phoenix Simms • January 5th, 2023

Greta is both a problem and a potential solution to that problem, but when read under a more feminist-revisionist lens, she’s charmingly camp, she’s a 90s icon and she’s absolutely that bitch.

Collision Detection

A portrait of the band Mogwai, lined up shoulder-to-shoulder and staring blankly yet directly into the camera, true indie-cover style.

In the Spaceship Over Glasgow With Mogwai

By Ben Sailer • January 4th, 2023

Mogwai are often pigeonholed as the elder statesmen of post-rock. The real story about their roots and influences is much more interesting.

Here Be Monsters

The mogwai Gizmo, from the movie Gremlins, with an exaggeratedly sad frown on his face. He's furry with enormous ears and eyes, the definition of "weird but cute."

Going Gremlin Mode

By Emma Kostopolus • January 3rd, 2023

Cuteness and horror.
