Of Nymphs and Nuns

Posted on April 30, 2026 by Nathan

Three Novel Nymphs, by Piers Anthony – These books are pretty much all by the numbers at this point, but there hadn’t really been that much about the Nymphs, who spend all their time being chased by fauns and having … Continue reading →

Zeromus Mission

Posted on April 27, 2024 by Nathan

Since I finally managed to beat Zeromus (and I was kind of surprised when I did), I suppose I should say some more about Final Fantasy IV. This was the second game in the series to be released in North … Continue reading →

You’ve Got a Fiend in Me

Posted on March 17, 2024 by Nathan

I wrote a bit about the Four Fiends from Final Fantasy before, but I’ve since thought of more to say. Four of the main bosses in the first games, they’re associated with the four classical elements, and are causing the destruction … Continue reading →

Burning Up for Your Love

Posted on February 25, 2024 by Nathan

We watched three movies this weekend, and here are my thoughts, complete with SPOILERS. Mister Organ – Directed by David Farrier, the guy who made Tickled, this is a similar documentary in that it’s about an investigation into someone who … Continue reading →

There Is No Such Thing as Subtle Cruelty

Posted on March 5, 2022 by Nathan

I haven’t been listening to a lot of music lately, as when I get the chance to listen to anything, there are two podcasts for which I’ve been working through the archives. Beth has been really getting into Sparks as … Continue reading →

Elemental Boogaloo

Posted on January 8, 2021 by Nathan

Frozen 2 – We watched this one last night, and it was a bit of a palate cleanser after hearing about fascists storming the Capitol all day. I’ve said before that I thought the original Frozen was a solid film, … Continue reading →

Save Our Symbols

Posted on September 24, 2020 by Nathan

I’ve recently heard about white supremacist groups co-opting the A-OK finger symbol, which hardly seems fair to the rest of us. If they want to steal it, why should they just be able to get away with it? We can’t … Continue reading →

Elements and Alignments

Posted on August 2, 2020 by Nathan

Magical Starsign is a Nintendo DS game from some years back that I thought I might want to check out, but didn’t until fairly recently. It’s a turn-based role-playing game that makes heavy use of the stylus, which is a … Continue reading →

Let Our Powers Combine

Posted on February 22, 2014 by Nathan

Ah, Captain Planet. I remember watching that show mostly because my brother would turn it on at, like, 7 AM on Saturday, before any of the other cartoons came on. A bit of well-meaning but obnoxious preachiness from Ted Turner, … Continue reading →

God in the Flesh

Posted on September 2, 2013 by Nathan

Are gods physical beings? It appears that, in general, earlier cultures considered them to be such, but religion has developed away from that idea toward that of their being pure spirit. Of course, gods can TAKE physical form if they … Continue reading →
