Story: "Nameless, Timeless"

"A temple to the faceless god lies within those sands, and with this map I will find it!"

Edgar Hamilton carried himself in that cocksure way only men who know the whole world adores them can. Given his recent discovery of an ancient map, perhaps the world did. However, I hated him, and his awful rose-scented cologne, and his Souvarov moustache. What my brother saw in him, I do not know.

Edgar and Roger--my brother--possessed a shared obsession with ancient religion. Roger lectured on the historical occult at Miskatonic, while Edgar traveled far afield in search of ruined temples. Perhaps this is what Roger admired in that loathsome man. But many  men were archaeologists and also not Edgar Hamilton.

At some point in his friendship with Roger, Edgar mistook my polite dislike for coyness. Since then, I have been quite unable to halt his unctuous attentions.

Cool Stuff Sunday: "DeathWarDoom"

A lot of death and war in this week's content roundup. It's mostly death and war that I'm EXCITED about and is really cool, but still. Let's get to it--*record scratch*--t-t-t-t-to it!

A medieval skellington was found entwined in the roots of a fallen tree. Doot doot doot!

Bloodborne: The Old Hunters has a release date and looks awesome!

The last Discworld book is a fitting end to Sir Terry's career. I'll miss him.

Oh hey, speaking of Bloodborne, doesn't this new Dark Souls III character look familiar?

Odds are good no one will ever see this cutscene in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain legitimately.

An Egyptian Book of the Dead has been reconstructed. No way that's going to end badly.

Check it out! British infantry drill from the late Victorian period!
