  • Here Be Media - Episode 54 - Dragon Age The Veilguard: A Journey from Reign to Ruin w/ Holly
    May 9 2025

    Hello everyone!!


    The time has come. We finish our first long-term game series! Dragon Age has come to an end as we understand it. Let's about The Veilguard, with good friend Holly!


    It is a sad time, as we go over some of the many failings of The Veilguard, its faults in production, writing, execution... And yet, all boiling down to a rather generic game (and failing even at that), that is quite unrecognizable from the Dragon Age series, even in its lowest points before.


    So come along for the ride, as we close the book and lay out our memorial service for this once rather unique, and damn right phenomenal, videogame series.


    Enjoy!

  • The Left Page - Episode 90 - Meditations: How to Hide Inside Your Empire
    Apr 29 2025

    Hello everyone!!


    For our late Left Page this month, we dive into an odd choice, but a fruitful one! Emperor Marcus Aurelius' Meditations, from 161 A.D.!


    In what we find to be one of the original inspirations for self-help books, we... certainly suffer through this one! Talking about how an Emperor can isolate himself from his society and keep himself above it, becoming "a perfect and invincible soul".


    And we tackle it in turn, with our own experiences, charging against his feeble attempts at "human nature", what he understands existance and history to be, and worst and scariest of all, the horror of men.


    Enjoy!
