Long time no see, RetroFiends. I had some surgery at the beginning of the month, and let's just say that limbs take a long time to attach once they're sewn back on (I'm full of shit, it was sinus surgery). In any case, it's good
Twice now we have sojourned into the benighted lands beyond. The perpetual twilight realm of “not much of an art budget” and the neighboring nightmare kingdom of “just draw or paint whatever you want, we have a deadline.” We came, we saw, we were disgusted
I am probably the least “cool” person who writes for this website, hands down, but we like to talk about cool stuff here, right? Rockets, lasers, barbarians, robots, all kinds of shit. Motorcycles are pretty high on the cool index. Being both a spineless coward

In some of the older D&D books from the golden days of TSR (namely “1st edition” Advanced D&D), The few incredible images rendered by masters like Erol Otus are surrounded on all sides by what can best be described as “almost art.” It's either strange

You really can't go wrong with some Super Mario action. It's been clear-as-a-bell true since the poor bastard first dug in his heels and made a giant ape his hammer-bitch. The plucky plumber and his perpetually overshadowed brother Luigi have since stood as the mascots
There's something about samurai or ninja themed media, its blend of honor and violence, that makes its appeal both perennial and difficult to discard. In many ways, it mirrors America's romanticized depiction of the Old West – a comparison not lost on those who craft
