“Mercy is Malware” – Primordia Review
Humanity is finished. Our robotic creations are all that remains, and our legacy is being gradually phased out. Have we left them with enough knowledge to survive, or will they end up just like us?
The Beginning of the End: The Walking Dead Episode Four Review
Telltale’s The Walking Dead’s first season is winding down. One episode remains in the series that has left me emotionally drained after each entry. Episode Four: Around Every Corner continues the trend.
“I’m so bummed out; it’s great!” – The Walking Dead Episode Three Review
The title to this post comes from a Steam conversation I was having with a friend right after a major event in this episode of The Walking Dead. This series has done wonders in draining me emotionally, and this episode arguably hits the hardest yet.

You see them, don’t you? A Nelson Tethers: Puzzle Agent Review
Nelson Tethers of the FBI’s Puzzle Research Division does most of his work behind a desk. As you can imagine, a lot of the country’s major puzzle related queries are solvable from a central location. Having grown up around puzzles, he’s excellent at what he does and is actually one of the top Puzzle Agents in the country. So when a puzzle related mystery surfaces that requires Nelson to emerge out of his office, and head off to the remote small town of Scoggins Minnesota, it must be a serious problem.
