36 years ago, the fascists came to kill those who stood up for freedom and democracy. But for all their violence, they couldn’t kill the idea of freedom. This is what Greek people celebrate on the 17th of November. Today, it’s starting to become acceptable to excuse the crimes of …
I just got this email: Hi Jonas, I’m somewhat proud to inform you that one of the most gifted walkthrough makers in Holland has responded to my question to him to make a walkthrough for The Strange and Somewhat Sinister Tale of the House at Desert Bridge. The result is …
I have good news that are also bad. Phenomenon 32 is getting close to being finished. All that’s missing is the “endgame” areas – that and the new voice acting I recently decided upon. Yes, I’ve decided to add a few more characters (and actors to voice them). It’s an …
Today is the feast-day of Saint John Chrysostom, one of the most despicable figures history has ever produced, and leader of the mob of idiots that destroyed the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. As much as I admire the stories and …

…the Berlin Wall fell, and the bureaucrats in power became the capitalists in power. Stalinism was replaced by capitalism, political oppression became economic depression. An evil system took the place of a perverted one, like a fallen angel handing the keys to Satan. And we’re supposed to pretend that this …
I don’t read BoingBoing regularly, but Verena does, and she usually points out the interesting stuff to me. Today, while looking through headlines, she found one that sounded really nasty: Police in Venezuela are rounding up gay/lesbian/bi/trans folk into vans and hauling them to jail by the dozens, according to …
The FBI has once again proven its dedication to democracy and human rights, this time by engaging in one of the favourite hobbies of the intelligence community: killing Muslims. Preferably poor ones. Abdullah, 53, was shot 18 times by an FBI “counterterrorism” squad in a warehouse in the suburb of …
So, apparently, the Cylons didn’t really have one. It’s amazing, really. The Plan manages to make Battlestar Galactica – a series that prided itself on the fact that its four-season arc was completely unplanned – make even less sense. There were quite a few plot elements that felt rather forced …
