Mystic Punks, Part One

By Stu Horvath and John McGuire • March 11th, 2024

The squares sure aren’t gonna save the day.

Seasonal Space

By Jay Castello • March 8th, 2024

I played one section of Beasts of Maravilla Island and then I got on a bus, and the naked tree branches seemed more interesting than ever.

Versus Mode: Lorcana x Sorcerer’s Arena

By Orrin Grey • March 7th, 2024

Unlike Lorcana, Sorcerer’s Arena is not an original game cooked up whole cloth. It is, instead, an adaptation of the mobile game of the same name. I’ve tried out the mobile game a bit, but not enough to really get a feel for it, and there’s something to be said for the joy of pushing little plastic standees around on a board.

Atomic City: U2 Go Nuclear at the Sphere

By Matt Marrone • March 7th, 2024

If I lived in Las Vegas, I wouldn’t be writing this column at all, because I’d be at the show. Again. (And then again.)

In Defense of the Jump Scare: A Manifesto

By Emma Kostopolus • March 5th, 2024

Jump scares function as a necessary pressure-release valve for the experience of watching horror, thus allowing the experience to be less unrelentingly tiring.

Mind Palaces
Cover art for Rollerdrome shows main character Kara Hassan wearing her skate helmet and staring stoically at the viewer. Behind her, a busy scene from the roller arena fills the frame.

And the Crowd Goes Wild

By Maddi Chilton • March 4th, 2024

It’s never quite established what Rollerdrome’s sport is reflecting in the society that watches it.

Jack of Shadows

By Stu Horvath and John McGuire • March 4th, 2024

Revenge is a dish best served over and over and over again.

The Century-Long Humanification of King Kong

By Van Dennis • March 1st, 2024

Heavy is the head that wears the crown.

How to Survive Your Last High School Reunion

By Brea Shanice • February 29th, 2024

So, you’re at your reunion, and folks haven’t seen you in years. The question turns to your career, but you are quite embarrassed. What do you do? Lie, naturally. Well friend, I’m going to advise against lying about being a doctor, especially at your last reunion.
