I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream, the 1996 sci-fi horror adventure game, based on Harlan Ellison's 1967 short story, is still updated!

I played it almost 30 years ago, back when I was devouring LucasArts adventure games.

Hey frens, I put together a GoFundMe to help pay for some gender care items for the next 9 months. If you're able to donate a little, that would be fabulous, even just boosting or sharing it helps. 💜

ICE arrested a clarinetist dressed as a banana because they ran into her chasing someone.

It's absurd and ridiculous, but also horrifying and exhausting. We might be laughing in the face of fascism but it's still hacking at us with its big ugly rotting teeth.

One of the things that absurdist protest accomplishes is making the people cracking down on it look absolutely ridiculous.

Young Republicans in the ‘90s were also racist, Hitler-loving creeps who wanted to do real harm to people who weren’t like them.

AI isn’t creative. A Shakespearean English retelling of a 90s valley girl retelling of a Jane Austen masterpiece that acknowledges all of these sources is creative.

This is I need to stress actually quite bad. Like really bad writing. It’s fascinating how little it works. It’s telling the writing credits weren’t finalized as of publication. Releasing this as a book feels like a dark joke.

I'm seeing this poster making the rounds and it's being identified as an unused Star Trek V poster by Drew Struzan. I disagree. It's a little cropped, but the bottom right shows Drew's signature and you can make out "91" which would mean this is an unused Star Trek VI concept. More in alt text.

Unused Star Trek VI poster by Drew Struzan. Lower right has his signature and what looks like a "91." He dated his "Hook" concept posters the same way, and that was also a December 1991 release. Star Trek VI also has an exploding planet, which Star Trek V does not have.

Star Trek VI was the first Trek feature film not to have a one-sheet illustrated by Bob Peak. The final was by John Alvin. It makes sense then that Paramount was searching for alternatives.

Because ABC suits were worried viewers would be freaked out by a black and white episode in primetime, Glen Gordon Caron got Orson Welles to tape an intro letting audiences know what was going on. He sadly passed a few days after filming and 5 days before the episode aired.
