This past year was a phenomenal one for artistic video games, so its no surprise there are such strong contenders for the Independent Gaming Festival’s Excellence in Visual Art award. From rubber hose cartoon animation to decadent alien temples, serene autumnal town streets to fractured…

We all know the scene by now; Moonlight bleeds through a crack in the blinds, catching steadily rising smoke. A half-abandoned cigarette rests on the lips of an ashtray. Pensive Jazz leaks from an old radio, interrupted by bursts of thunder. A dapper detective with…
What have they done to you, Santa? Why are you so thin, and so smol? Why have you been forcefully awoken from your slumber and made to travel through time and space to bring in another hellish twelve months? Why can’t pop culture dredge up…
