During the SAG-AFTRA strikes a few years ago, I ended up listening to a lot of podcasts (instead of stuff being struck against) and came across this little project. I still have never listened to all of it, but it does appear completely finished, and the story did have a fun hook (if you were willing to listen for a bit to get there).

Wow, Reality Fracture is a powerful set. I wasn’t initially impressed with the “make a little Jace” mechanic, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized endless surveils really streamline any deck’s plans. I also really like how the whole set feels cohesive; lots of cards can be used from the graveyard or like it when you surveil. In fact, there were so many good cards in this set that I had over thirty possible options for Standard.

Backrooms as a horror movie asks an important question: “How scary, really, can you make an environment?” The answer—as it turns out—is very scary. As long as you make sure the location is both uncanny enough and has a strong enough sense of unseen threats, even a series of mostly yellow walls and yellow floors and awful fluorescent lights can become riveting. A slow pan to a dark hallway where you can hear something trudging around is infinitely scarier than any slasher villain I’ve ever seen.

The Running Man Eventually Runs Out Of Steam

I’m reviewing The Running Man from an odd perspective, and it only feels fair to warn you of that if you’re going to read this review. Simply put, I’ve not read the book—I’m not even that familiar with Stephen King’s work, all told. Further, I’ve not even seen the previous adaptation. My experience with the death game genre comes from my deep love of The Hunger Games franchise.
