The Most Nightmarish Peanuts Special Ever Made

The first time I watched the 1978 Peanuts special What A Nightmare, Charlie Brown, I was eight and a little scared. The cartoon made a significant impression on me. It was unnerving to see Snoopy whipped, starved, pelted with produce, and drowned. Dream sequence or not, that’s heavy shit. There have been many Peanuts specials…

Answering Your Best Final Fantasy XV Questions

I have played 10 hours of Final Fantasy XV, a video game about how One Direction spends their days off, and I’m pleased to report that so far, it’s good. Very good. Maybe even excellent. This is an early build, and it only contains the five first chapters of the game, so I can’t yet…

In Memory Of The Guy Who Gets Beheaded At The Beginning Of Skyrim

A Board Game Where Everything Is Permanent 

Gamers are a funny bunch. Board gamers, doubly so. We treasure our board games. We put plastic sleeves on our cards to keep our games immaculate and pristine. We do not tolerate spilled drinks. So writing on the board (in permanent marker!), placing stickers, and ripping up cards is both incredibly disturbing, and therapeutically cathartic.…

A Very Pokémon Plushie Halloween

It’s Halloween, the festive holiday when Pokémon toys dress up in costumes and sit on my desk until at least Christmas. The Pokémon Center’s line of masquerading circus pocket monsters is adorable this year. While I could not catch them all this year, The Pokémon Company International sent along a trio of trick or treaters…
