Welcome to a new corner for my musings and observations. The Calcutta Club is the latest platform for me to speak my mind, only this time while enjoying my favorite vice: cigars. The name for the feature comes from the room where the writers of the 24 television series tossed ideas around and developed the script for […]

The game is designed to drip pants-on-head insanity from ever crevice of its code. From the world’s overall presentation to the introduction of the plot, the audience […]
There is a moment early in the demo that hooked me immediately to the prospect of Torpor Games’ Suzerain. You are going through the early life of the main character Anton Rayne and you are given a choice at the birth of your first son to either sacrifice time with your family to focus on […]
