Diablo 2: Ten Years Later
Some things sneak up on you. The ten year anniversary of the release of Diablo II, a game I bought near launch and have lost and repurchased at least three times, is one of those things. It’s baffling to think

The Page Turner
Well, after finally finishing Mark Danielewski’s ‘Only Revolutions’–an eternal, idyllic and American love story/maze which took me a few years to get through–I knew that I could begin tackling my goal for the summer: to read more. And so Graham

When Nothing is True, Encyclopedias are Permitted
I’m a big fan of the Assassin’s Creed (AC) franchise, which I believe to be the true spiritual successor to the Prince of Persia games, despite fully knowing these are not great games. They are competent, good games. It’s like
