Notably, The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, The Romanoffs, and Room 104 are recently released and well-crafted anthologies whose horror and sci-fi elements

Interview with Game Developer Sam Prebble

I stumbled upon this article about a kid who spent the span of 15 years working on a personal project, a modern mod (called Total Chaos) for a classic game, Doom II. It hit the sweet spot for the kind of obscure, creative stuff I often like to talk about on HL, so I wanted

Amnesia Collection Giveaway — Happy Halloween!

The winner is Pat Nolan! Congrats! Some years back, I had a very specific goal in mind, to find the scariest video game EVER MADE. One that didn’t let up, that was absolutely brutal and relentless.

In recent years, The Royal Mint here in the UK has really made an effort to produce coins that commemorate and remember important anniversaries and events, and I’ve noticed that coin collecting has become a seriously popular hobby again for many Brits. Our 10p, 50p, and £2 coins are large enough to allow surprisingly detailed
