The Unknown
Pg. 147- “I know aliens are supposed to be all mysterious and everything, but I still don’t see why anyone would build a city-sized wildlife refuge for anaerobic microbes” -Isaac Szpindel I would have to say that from the second I read this page; this was the most compelling sentence that stuck to me […]

One last note on Portal & Lilith’s Brood
After I posted my piece on the incredible similarities between Portal and Lilith’s Brood, another thing hit me:Neither Chell nor Lilith can exit their prison cell. They must wait for their captors to open doors or walls for them. Eventually, their… Continue reading
