Every year, we invite our contributors to challenge themselves with the Resolution Project — a special event where our writers sift through all things speculative and settle on something worthy of personal conquest. The sky’s the limit when it comes to choices, whether it’s knocking through a back catalog, revisiting a popular franchise, or embarking on something totally new; whether…

Am I going for the hat trick? You bet your sweet bippy I am! (The first two iterations of this madness can be found here and here.) And so, without further ado, I present to you The Twelve Days of Spec Fic, 2019 edition! On the twelfth day of Spec Fic, my nerd friend gave to me…

Hello! Here we are, back again, with season two of Hulu and Blumhouse Productions collaborative anthology series Into the Dark. Last time I reviewed all the episodes in two big chunks (which, if you’re curious, can be found here and here), but this time, I’m planning to tackle them on a monthly, or bi-monthly, basis. So, once more unto the…

Since I already said my piece about Blumhouse Productions, the driving force behind this ambitious year-long project, and Hulu’s odd lack of promotion in my first post, I think we can jump right into the reviews of Into the Dark, episodes 7-12. Oh, I do want to give a shout-out to whoever made the posters for this series. The images…

Back in June, I wrote a post discussing the fantasy adaptations currently making their way to the small screen. Long story short: Most of the books being adapted are the ones you’d expect — LOTR, Chronicles of Narnia, Wheel of Time, The Kingkiller Chronicles, etc. Classics? Sure. Predictable AF? Absolutely! The good news is that the networks are being much…

So, is anyone else out there watching Hulu’s TV horror anthology series Into the Dark? I haven’t heard much hubbub about it, but I also feel like Hulu hasn’t been featuring it as much as they could. They tout each episode for the week or so after it releases, but it seems like then they’re buried under something new. Maybe…

Hello, denizens of geek! How are things in your corner of the world? In a previous roundup I rambled about the rainy season in Japan, and since posting, a strange phenomenon has taken place in my area: almost no rain. As much as I dislike the rainy season, this isn’t a good thing. I live in the Kikuchi Valley region of…

For better or worse, Game of Thrones has come to an end. The dust has settled, the smoke has cleared, and dozens of satisfied, angry, and/or outraged articles have been written. So, what now? Well, HBO is planning a prequel series, but if you’re all GoT’d out, here are a few upcoming fantasy TV series that might help fill the…

For this post, I tackle three games from my Steam backlog: Gris, Cultist Simulator, and Subsurface Circular. One is about a lost young woman, another is about finding your way through the seedy streets of Jazz-Age London, and the last is about riding the subway while looking for the truth. Let’s dive in, shall we? (No spoilers, I promise!)
