Don’t Hurt Girls When You Dance (Or Any Other Time)

By Juno Stump • June 23rd, 2023

I don’t know if Kurt Cobain would still be here today if he had the ability to inject estrogen instead of heroin, but I know his journal pages carry the same pain as me.

Entering the Kingdom of the Supernatural: The Mexico Macabre Collection from Indicator

By Orrin Grey • June 22nd, 2023

Mexican horror films from the ’60s feel like someone attempting to remake the classic horror films of the ‘30s and ‘40s from memory. Which, given that we were still decades ahead of the advent of home video, was probably almost literally the case.

The False Myth of the Black Cat

By Rob Rich • June 15th, 2023

While the times have changed, black cats are sometimes still saddled with unfair stigma – and Rob rants about why that’s ridiculous.

Two screenshots, Inside on the left and Gorogoa on the right. For Inside, a young child is crouching behind a fence in dark, misty woods by a road and in the distance a truck backs up towards the shadow of an adult with a dog. For the Gorogoa shot there are four images, in the top left a notebook and some pocket watches on a map, to the right of that an animated fireplace, to the bottom left a broken statue, destroyed wall, and government building in the distance, and lastly a white mirror or dais as seen from above

Brain Scratch

A screencap from Mr. Sun's Hatbox, with a two-dimensional library battleground with some ladders on the stacks and a few blobs shooting, climbing, and falling to their painful deaths, as a rubber ducky stares in judgement

Giving Up Ghostwire for Mr. Sun’s Hatbox

By Steven Nguyen Scaife • June 12th, 2023

And although Mr. Sun’s Hatbox has such common, game-y elements as the deified skill tree, the smaller scope allows the game to move through it with a far greater efficiency and satisfaction than other games, where all the aforementioned permadeath and neck-snapping and resource-harvesting might stand out less.
