“The 3 types of terror: The Gross-out: the sight of a severed head tumbling down a flight of stairs, it’s when the lights go out and something green and slimy splatters against your arm. The Horror: the unnatural, spiders the size of bears, the dead waking up and walking around, it’s when the lights go out and something with claws grabs you by the arm.

This record represents our hope and our determination, and our good will in a vast and awesome universe.”

-Virginia Woolf
“And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald
“I know that I am mortal by nature, and ephemeral; but when I trace at my pleasure the windings to and fro of the heavenly bodies I no longer touch the earth with my feet…”
-Ptolemy
“For fools rush in where angels fear to tread.” -Alexander Pope
Is there water in outer space? Maybe space is water? I’ve seen 2001: a Space Odyssey. There’s some trippy crap out there.
Back in the ol’ M of arch, we here at The Well-Red Mage took…
Welcome back to our countdown. Let’s keep exploring the deep dark greenwood and the recurring…
One of the chief ways in which a video game comes off as an art piece is through its use of music. And one of the recurring themes in video game music is the “Forest theme”.
Discovering the lyrics has only increased my respect for Journey.
