Blameless – “Why Did I Take This Job?”

This week I continue October 2017's Creepy-Fest with a playthrough of Blameless, a free indie horror game that is available on Steam. It is a short game and I play it in its entirety, so if you are not interested in spoilers you may want to pass. Also, several scenes of the game have very low light levels, making it hard to see what is actually happening on the video. In those instances, just use your imagination. It shouldn't be too difficult.… Read more...

Back when I used to write for a website called Reality TV Talk, I posted an article entitled "I Am That Ugly American." Originally, the article was part of a series of recaps I was writing in 2011 for the fourteenth season of The Amazing Race. It was one of my favorite pieces and I have referenced it several times over the past several years as it deals with my personal lack of desire for foreign travel, a preference that is challenged time and time again. This week I wanted to share that article with you.  Please note, the context of the article has been edited to bring it up to date and allow it to stand… Read more...

We continue October "Creepy-Fest" with part 4 of my Fran Bow playthrough. This is a continuation of a series that I am posting on the Half Air YouTube channel. If you wish to catch up before watching, you can do so by checking out my Fran Bow playlist. A quick word of caution about this video, Fran Bow is a horror game and several of the themes and graphics are dark and, at times, a bit gruesome. Please consider this before watching.  … Read more...

America likes to take sides. If I am talking abouts sports, games or some other competition, that would be okay. But I’m not. I’m talking about life. For years now it appears that we are more and more becoming a nation of us and them, and it’s only gotten worse in the past several months. Every week there is another event or news story that causes people to dig in and man their battle stations. One recent event got me to thinking about what the core cause of the problem is and how we might begin to change it. Of course, the event I’m talking about are the restrictions regarding wearing white after Labor Day.… Read more...
