Almost at the end of his journey, his guides stops at mist covered pass to honour the spirits and ask for […]
Recently, I watched the movie Black Narcissus (1947), which tells the story of a group of nuns who are gifted a palace in the Himalayas to build a new convent. The movie is known for its superb use of color and painted backdrops to emulate the landscape. The backdrops are actually black-and-white photographs, enlarged and painted with […]

Small colonies had been installed before, but were abandoned for one reason or another. Looking for a place to install a […]
Recently I saw cool gameplay video of a “fantasy horror solitaire game”, which is a genre that my father would excel at. The game in question is Forbidden Solitaire, which soon will be available on Steam for PC. I highly suggest you check the video by ManlyBadassHero; he’s a pretty chill guy, and the video […]
I dreamed that I was with my brother on the third floor of a café. It was a modern building, in the Capsule Corp style from Dragon Ball Z. We were eating something, and I mentioned that my driver’s license might be suspended. Looking out the window, I saw my car (a model I can’t […]
This weekend we saw the London GT take place with over 1,000 players duking it out, and although I couldn’t make it (since I’m an ocean away with a newborn, a new job, and a goddamn life), I took the time to check the coolest – but not the best – Black Templar lists that […]
