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…

Welcome, friends! This week we bade farewell to September and started October off with a bang! It’s officially the spooky season and we’ve got some extra things on our plate to celebrate.

Let’s dive in, shall we? (No spoilers, I promise!)

First on the docket… What Remains of Edith Finch (2017) Developer: Giant Sparrow Publisher: Annapurna Interactive Written and directed…

Welcome to the very end of 2018! For the past few years, we have challenged our contributors to come up with a goal for the coming year. Those goals have varied from “read a certain book” to “consume ALL of the Game of Thrones content currently available.” You’d be surprised and perhaps a little amused that those of us who…

So, it’s been a pretty brutal winter this year in North America (our home base). Are you as absolutely done with it as I am? It’s blowing snow as I write this, and the forecast predicts another snowfall this weekend. Fortunately, spring is just around the corner, and I couldn’t be more thrilled. When I started thinking about what our…
