With the exception of J.R.R. Tolkien, Robert E. Howard is likely the most influential author in all of fantasy fiction, with his beloved Conan the Barbarian stories transporting avid readers to the thrilling days of high adventure.

A title like Cocaine Bear speaks for itself. It sums up the premise, but perhaps more importantly, it suggests an outrageous tone with energy to match. While drawing from the 1985 true crime account that left cocaine scattered across the wilderness and both a bear and the drug smuggler responsible dead, Cocaine Bear finds highly entertaining ways to

The longest running genre fest in the US, the Boston Science Fiction Film Festival (Boston SciFi for short) returned for its 48th annual event in Somerville, MA last week. I was only able to attend one of the five days, but I managed to squeeze in four features plus two panels. Here’s what I saw

While the Megami Tensei series has been eclipsed in popularity by its spinoff Persona series, there’s little doubt that both series have benefited from Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne.

We’ve mentioned McGee’s efforts several times over the years, and he’s upped the push now with a new video announcing the launch of the game’s Design Bible (which you can download for free), as well as potential news on a
