  • Which Video Games Make The Cut To Be On Your Mount Rushmore Of Gaming?

    Time and tide wait for no man. Even the rare individuals who have mastered “time management”, as it were… My years as a freelance writer have taken me through many years of bizarre madness, and it’s quite an odd pretense to look back and consider everything behind me at this point. One of the demented… Read more

  • My Friendly Neighborhood: Going Gonzo

    It takes all kinds to make a world… And if we borrow from the logic inherent in genetic legacy, the more diverse the better November has been quite the queer journey through spacetime, as its only been a little over a week since the month began, and yet October feels like yesterday. I suppose I… Read more

  • Standing Guard At The Gates Of Reason And Turmoil

    In my many years on this Earth, one important notion that has continually revealed itself to be more true with the passage of time is simply: nothing is ever quite what it seems. Gotta read between those lines, y’all Another Saturday has arrived, and with it, another terrible batch of the Sorrows to go along… Read more

  • Quick Posit: Defining Revolutionary Standard

    One of the reasons ‘DON’T PANIC‘ is a personal mantra of mine, is due to the fact that panicking never helps, and that it is important to remember to keep a level head in stressful moments. Mostly so one can avoid moments as seen above, for example Been awhile since I’ve had such a crunchy… Read more

  • My Friendly Neighborhood: Swallowing Crow Puppet Style

    Everyone is always looking to pass the buck, when all they really need to do to find the source for all their frustrations involves staring into a mirror. You are your own worst enemy. For the love of sanity, get out of your own way…. Though October flashed before our eyes like a bolt of… Read more

  • My Friendly Neighborhood: Sucking Felt In A back Alley

    Slow and steady wins the race, and tripping right out of the gate isn’t necessarily a death knell. (Picture suprisingly related) Reflecting back on my post yesterday, while I know in my heart of hearts, there are definitely some pearls of wisdom to be harvested from the watery depths of my submerged vessel of thoughts,… Read more

  • Beyond The Pretense of Inbred Homogenization

    We are often plagued with a sense of shallow myopia, by being exposed only to the familiar reality we condemn ourselves to, by seeing only what we focus on, and not the greater majesty of the art that surrounds us. PicThis realization goes a long way in giving us a sense of perspective on ideology… Read more

  • My Friendly Neighborhood: The White Whale Standard

    Communicating a message clearly and concisely is a far more difficult concept to get across in theory as opposed to execution…astonishingly so, I find. Often times leaving me feeling like an out of context scientist by days end Yesterday’s post involved a game named My Friendly Neighborhood (MFN), which I surmised in an elevator pitch… Read more

  • My Friendly Neighborhood: Technical Difficulties

    Just because Halloween is over, does not mean we are yet free of the truly terrifying. Existential dread often comes packaged in the yuletide persuasion as well With Spoopy season behind us, I tip my hat to all of the ghouls and ghosts that made our time together a truly frightful endeavor. As I look… Read more

  • A Chainsaw By Any Other Name

    Always important to keep in mind we do the best with what we have… …even if the battle is ultimately futile I was about to remark “now with Silent Hill in my rear view mirror”, in an effort of a more poetic, flourishing segwaying moment of punctuation and finality after my completion of the Silent… Read more

  • Like Squeezing Blood From A Rock

    Sometimes, the sweet treat we thought we had, reveals itself to contain horror beyond imagination. This is most certainly not what mamma told me life was going to be like *clap, clap, clap, clap* In my obsession to breakdown and analyze just about every aspect of reality, I resist airing on the side of coincidence.… Read more

  • Uniquely Familiar Feelings Knowing the Fear Of The Unknown

    The paradoxical nature of apathetically drenched fear is thusly: it is impossible to be scared shitless when one doesn’t have a single shit left to give. More like “rough month” for me, but same vibes I remain genuinely shocked at my output for Spooptober, not just due to the fact that I’ve been moving at… Read more

  • The Subtle Romance Of A Knife’s Edge

    Rolling with the punches is a lot more difficult when the boxing match never seemingly ends. Gotta utilize that big brain energy to make it through those more trying times of need This mood that haunts me will not abate, and as a result, I am in more ways paralyzed than I care to admit.… Read more

  • Thy Flesh Consumed

    Nothing like a little R&R during the spoopy season to put one at ease. R&R standing for Rancid & Revolting in this example Just some quick thoughts today, as it is one of those moments where I do not have many to spare. I think one of the hurt/heals of having lived within the realm… Read more

  • Trauma Informed Self-Loathing

    It’s crazy how much our perceptions help to shape the reality that surrounds us. One couple’s would be date night is another persons unfortunate demise Following on the theme of my article from yesterday, I seem to be having a bit of trouble finding my footing this ‘spoopy season, in that both my ongoing playthrough… Read more

  • The Fingerfeeling Texture Of Fear

    Spoopy season has a lot of proper competition this year in having to up its game to be recognized as a legitimate threat in a crowded field of contenders. The United States of Absolutely Horrifying I’ve now become accustomed to what has come to be deemed the “Saturday Sorrows”, as every passing week has the… Read more

  • Speedrunning Nostalgia: Silent Hill 4 Zigged When Resident Evil 4 Zagged

    It almost seems redundant to be excited for October and Halloween to arrive in bringing the seasonal scaries with them, considering how positively horrifying the everyday happens to be as of late. R.I.P anxiety sufferers Yesterday’s post was an attempt at being more reminiscent about a subject that I’m similar parts excited to discuss as… Read more

  • Resident Evil 4: The Game That Failed Its Own Genre

    Strolling back into Silent Hill has me feeling as if the town is a microcosmic distillation of this year’s everyday. Yesterday’s post was one of a meandering sort, not to say it didn’t turn out okay, more so just a self-aware aside I felt like sharing. I keep oscillating back and forth between wanting to… Read more

  • The Thing That Is Not There: Survival Horror’s Je Ne Sais Quoi

    When the everyday is downright horrifying, it can really take the wind out of the sails of what October is suppose to have on offer. I want to be able to have the option to turn on and enjoy a horror movie, not feel like I’m perpetually stuck in one While I attempt to frame… Read more

  • Compare The Scares: Resident Evil vs Silent Hill

    I hate those days when you just can’t decide on what seems like the better choice. Decisions, decisions…. Today is that kind of day for, and quite honestly, a day that has no shortage of bad energy, truth be told. As a result, I’m not feeling terribly inspired to write. though I’ve mentioned in the… Read more

  • Welcome To Nope City

    When the witching hour approaches, it is appropriate to slip into something a little more…horrifyingly gruesome for the occasion. October always gets me all kinds of hot and bothered… Yesterday was more of a pop-in, just a little hi hello in a moment of respite, after a tremendous amount of energy expended on what ended… Read more

  • ‘Tis The Season To Be Spoopy…

    While I am a big proponent of critical thinking and engaging in the abstract, I’m also a strong advocate of partaking in intense amounts of silliness from time to time. Chase that big Scully energy, y’all September is just about over, and not a moment too soon, as like many, Spooptober is always a delight… Read more

  • Not All Remakes Are Created Equal

    In spite of historically valued declarations on the matter, and the founding notions that formed the nations relevant to their genesis, men are in fact, not created equal, when more seriously considered by the unfortunate circumstances that surround our society. In a far less serious but relevant matter, the same can be said about video… Read more

  • Wisdom’s Genesis: The End of the Beginning

    Sic Parvis Magna…greatness from small beginnings. A phrase I became familiar with through my love of the Uncharted series, and one I regularly think about in my own absurdist quest of self-discovery, and one that’s taken me from my own humble origins that started all the way back in September 2012 on the original version… Read more
