Have you ever played the roleplaying game Hardware Store Bonanza? It’s a lot like Goblins and Grottos, but way cooler because it’s more realistic. Hardware Store Bonanza is still set in a fantasy world, but it’s quite a developed world. You play as a group of hardware store employees, going out on various quests, gaining …
I’d just been told that my father was a vampire. It was a lot to take in, so I stumbled back, taking a seat in the auto shop. The owner, who I now realised must be a vampire too, came and sat beside me. “You seriously didn’t see this coming?” the man said. “The lack …

Isn’t that right, Henry? My name is Harry, but anyway, that’s right, Tybalt. Welcome to this exciting event which shall determine …
I don’t really care for the cold much. I was born in a sunny little town in Naples and grew up on the beach with the rays constantly beating my skin. Heat is in my genes. When I got the call up from work I knew relocation would be essential. I submitted my request for …

Cars: can’t live with ‘em, can’t live without ‘em. I mean, you can live without them, obviously. It’s not like they’re part of our breathing apparatus or anything. In fact, there’s a good argument that we’d breathe easier without cars and their noxious fumes, not to mention their cortisol spike-inducing running costs. In all likelihood, …
We are on the precipice of a major breakthrough in efficient heat distributing window frame technology. I know that not everyone cares about green technology and windows the same way I do but they should.
