Justin C. Key is a speculative fiction and horror author whose new book, The Hospital At The End Of The World, is available in stores now. It's a murder mystery set in the last human-run hospital in a world overrun by a seemingly (but not quite) perfect AI algorithm overseen by a sinister corporation. Talk about an unfortunately timely premise.

We sat down to play Tether, a two-player journaling game about people decades apart staring down the same supernatural curse, with only a journal spread across time to help them stop it.

Tom Harrison is one of the brain geniuses behind Anime Sickos, my actual favorite podcast in the world. The show is a dissection of the four pillars of modern misery (Anime, Gaming, Posting, and Jobs), and is honestly everything you could possibly want in a podcast. It's funny, insightful, occasionally righteously angry, and genuinely makes me want to make podcasts.

We sat down to play Don't Kill a Bird With a Baseball, an RPG where Randys Johnson from across the multiverse gather to stop our world's Randy Johnson from killing a bird with a baseball.
