One Fast Coffin: What Ever Happened To The Drag-U-La?

One Fast Coffin: What Ever Happened To The Drag-U-La? Back in the 1960s, American television was littered with shows that eventually became indelibly etched into pop culture. “The Addams Family,” “Gilligan’s Island,” “I Dream of Jeanie,” “Batman,” and dozens of others (the list goes on forever) are looked back on fondly, and perhaps not without a lot of smirks. One of those shows was a silly short-lived sitcom about a family of monsters called “The Munsters,” which included husband Herman (a Frankenstein-like monster), his wife Lily (a vampire), Grandpa (also a vampire), and children Marilyn (who oddly was a monster) and Eddie (a kid werewolf)....

Review: Immortals of Aveum

In capping off my hands-on impressions with the game last May, I remarked of how developer Ascendant Studios had shown signs they’ddone their homework. That this was a team – a debut studio – with experience in the field of single-player, first-person shooters, but whom simply didn’t want to retread old ground. That instead of guns, bullets and boots-on-the-ground soldiers, we have sigils, magic and a more free-flowing, sandbox-structured style of play that while linear in some respect, still encourages to be bold yet mindful of the arsenal at one’s disposal and the skills with which one gradually accrues over time....

Now, past its first chapter, we’re traversing right to left this time. Amazing!
