This is my review of The Empty Man 3: Manifestation #1-4, a contemporary fantasy thriller graphic novel series for the The Empty Man series from 2019. It's about a group of people trying to survive in a world turning chaotic. The The Empty Man: Manifestation comic book is confusing, I don't recommend it, unless you are already fan of the Empty Man series.

This is my review of The Empty Man, a supernatural mystery / thriller movie from 2020. It's about a guy trying to find a missing girl. The The Empty Man film is strange movie, but I recommend it to fans of the genre.

If you'd like to be surprised by the The Flash film, I don't recommend you to watch the trailer beyond 0:20, because after that it starts to gives away the premise of the plot. Even if you don't mind knowing the premise, but you'd like to be suprised by the twists, stop watching at 0:48. After that it basically provides a summary of the film, up to the ending scene, it's only the very end we are not shown.

Playing Deadzone Ed2 in The Forge Club (2016.12.28) - Imperial Space Gameplay narrative

Article updated: 2016.12.30

There was a club gathering at The Forge Club on 2016.12.28, where I organised a Deadzone Ed2 demo. After a quick warm-up game, there was an interesting battle between Fedák Zsombor and his friend, two youngsters who never played Deadzone before, but they were eager to try it. This is a retelling of the events that happened. To fit with the previous gameplay narratives, I set the story in the universe of the Forlorn Stars (Imperial Space) setting.

Many literary works give the theme and play the idea of Hell. The realm of guilty souls where they are who did not live a decent life before their death. Dante's Divine play was the first one to divide her into circles and bunks, according to the Sovereignty of Satan. This has since been recaptured in countless media outlets. But in the next game, the heroes are not going to Hell, but Hell comes to them!
