Pre-Star Wars VII Canon: Aiming for the Sky and Missing The Universe [ENTERTAINMENT EDITORIAL]
Like a lot of people, I’m very excited about the new Star Wars film, The Force Awakens. Also like a lot of us, our experience with Star Wars is bittersweet.
I remember being around 8 years old when an uncle of mine showed me Star Wars for the first time on VHS and I was hooked. When I visited my aunt and uncles in Paris, France when I was 16 for a month, I grew so homesick and the only English movie they had to watch was Star Wars–and it reminded me of what I loved about the fantasy adventure there.

I Ain’t Afraid of No Ghosts: Cryptozoic’s Adam Sblendorio on Ghostbusters Tabletop Game [ARTICLE]
A couple weeks ago, at Gen Con, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Cryptozoic’s Vice President of Creative, Adam Sblendorio. Cryptozoic is one of the better known Indie game houses to explore licensed IP (intellectual property) in their games. They’ve been responsible for the trading card game versions of The Lord of the Rings and DC Heroes, as well as original creations like Epic Spell Wars of The Battle Wizards: Duel at Mt. Skullzfyre (which was recently featured on Wil Wheaton’s Tabletop). Their Halloween release will be the board game version of Ghostbusters, something that…
Midnight Matinee Psycho [INDIE FILM REVIEW]
There’s a raging, psychopathic killer on the loose. Years ago, a man was horrifically slaughtered at a midnight matinee at the local movie theater in Martinsville, Virginia. Up until now, Detective Holt and the Metro Police have only had dead-end leads to help them figure out who the killer could have been. But suddenly the hunt is back on as an unidentified lunatic begins killing innocent film goers attending midnight matinees.
Finding a Path through the Darkness: A Gen Con Look at Paizo’s Creepy New Releases [EVENT/ARTICLE]
Paizo is one of those companies that shows just how a creative manufacturer can go from a smaller Indie game expansion company to a major power player in just 7 years. The now iconic Pathfinder roleplaying system may have been based on D&D’s 3.5 Open Gaming License mechanics when it was released in 2008, but it has steadily evolved since then, at times passing D&D in sales, and spinning off a catalog of expansions, classes, maps, and figurines, to say nothing of the successful card game variation that debuted…

In The Noose: The Death Penalty Through Centuries and Countries [ARTICLE]
The death penalty has very ancient roots. There is in fact evidence of its application since peoples like the Babylonians, Egyptians, Greeks and Romans. But still today it’s applied in many advanced countries, such as the USA. We certainly know that the prehistoric communities did use the death penalty, but we don’t have written evidence of criminal codes because the laws were passed down orally, and they were applied generally in a quite subjective and arbitrary way by people had…
