Illusionist v Wizard, Part 1

Illusionist v Wizard, Part 1

The Other Amazon

Original Diablo developer Mark Kern calls out Blizzard's woke revisionism in Diablo II: Resurrected.     Mark is better qualified to take Blizzard to task than most, being a pre-Ground Zero game dev from the days when developers made games for players, not for themselves. Author Adam Lane Smith sums…

Combat Frame Exceeds 10K

It is both gratifying and humbling to announce that the Indiegogo campaign for Combat Frame XSeed: SS has crossed the $10,000 mark.

MS Gundam: 0083

With innovation and originality in legacy entertainment now relegated to the past, I've been getting my fix from pre-Cultural Ground Zero properties. The best part of revisiting the classics is sharing hidden gems with friends who'd missed them the first time around. When it comes to anime, the late 80s to early…
Perpetual Revolution

Perpetual Revolution

The Death Cult's sole means of interacting with society consists of plunging it into a state of perpetual revolution. That's why the Cult is incapable of building. It only ever parasitize existing institutions. Meanwhile, their self-styled opponents in the Conservative camp have proven incapable of conserving a single institution. In hindsight,…

Gaming Ground Zero

In which author David V. Stewart takes the Cultural Ground Zero ball and advances it ten years down the field: Maybe you’ve heard of cultural ground zero: 1997.     Now let’s talk games, because unlike other institutions of culture, the games industry kept on growing and innovating for another…
