Last month, I bit the bullet and downloaded the simulation video game that is at the center of much controversy at the moment because of its performance on older generation console systems. The game in question is Cyberpunk 2077, a game that takes place fifty-seven years in the future where ...

Who doesn't love pirates?
Kids love to dress up as them in Halloween or during carnival season. There was whole a whole era of Hollywood where pirate movies were the blockbuster vein of gold. Pirates in fiction are charming, fun, dastardly, and the epitome of adventure.

Hidden Horror - Lifting up the Rock
Banes at 12:00AM, Oct. 22, 2020
On our last Quackcast I had a realization about one of the recurring elements that shows up in a lot of horror I like.

Cultural Significance
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Sept. 26, 2020
