Say what you'd like about Trent Reznor and Nine Inch Nails, but one thing is for sure: the guy never puts out the same vibe twice. And that, my friends, is a rare and wonderful thing in a world bubbling over with cookie-cutter, radio-friendly flashes in the pan. Bad Witch is the culmination of a … Continue reading Nine Inch Nails – Bad Witch Review

A Perfect Circle – Eat the Elephant Fidget Review
A Perfect Circle isn't trying to mince words on Eat the Elephant, their first wholly original effort since 2003, nor are they trying to hide the fact that Elephant drips with political verse and imagery -- from the on-the-nose cover and title it should come as no surprise to anyone giving this badboy a listen. … Continue reading A Perfect Circle – Eat the Elephant Fidget Review
The Super Serious Legend of Dorkuss Do-Nerdin: Back Again to the Undercaves (Again)
by J.D. Firneno The morning was gray and cold, covered by a blanket of pregnant dark clouds which appeared to undulate in the sky and gathered in the far corners of the boundless horizon. Dorkuss Do-Nerdin could sense the imminent rain in the moist air, could smell it with his heightened bright smelf senses. For … Continue reading The Super Serious Legend of Dorkuss Do-Nerdin: Back Again to the Undercaves (Again)
Wind River Fidget Review
There are some movies and shows you just can't watch more than once a year. American History X, Schindler's List, and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest are just a few that come to mind. Now you can safely put Wind River in the same sentence as those aforementioned pieces, and that's not a bad … Continue reading Wind River Fidget Review
Peaky Blinders (Netflix) Season 1 Fidget Review
Very loosely based on an actual well-dressed English street gang in the late 1800's (though the show takes place in the early 1900's) Peaky Blinders tells the tale of the Shelby family and their criminal aspirations. We're talking everything from "protection" and blackmail to deceit and secret selling. It's your typical criminal stuff but it … Continue reading Peaky Blinders (Netflix) Season 1 Fidget Review
The Gunslinger: The Dark Tower I (Novel) Fidget Review
The Gunslinger is the first book of The Dark Tower series, a seven-book cycle penned by Stephen King. And it's been around for a very long time. I, however, finally just got around to finishing it and like another piece of entertainment I wrote a review on this week, it's making me wonder what the … Continue reading The Gunslinger: The Dark Tower I (Novel) Fidget Review
Black Mirror (Netflix) Season 1 Fidget Review
Consisting only of 3 episodes, the first season of Black Mirror packs one heck of a punch. The show takes on an anthology format, enlisting new actors to paint a different picture with each episode -- and boy, that picture is almost always bleak and extremely thought-provoking. Most episodes explore the dangers of technological dread … Continue reading Black Mirror (Netflix) Season 1 Fidget Review
Planescape: Torment Enhanced Edition Fidget Review (Two Decades Later)
Almost two decades after its initial release in 1999, I've finally played through this vaunted RPG, and it's most definitely left a mark. Planescape: Torment (Enhanced Edition) is the one game I would invite a video game detractor to play. It plays like a very well-written (I can't emphasize this point enough!) graphic novel in … Continue reading Planescape: Torment Enhanced Edition Fidget Review (Two Decades Later)
Kingdom Come: Deliverance Fidget Review
They just don't make RPGs like Kingdom Come: Deliverance anymore. Warhorse Studios, however, decided to go all-in and create one of the deepest medieval roleplaying games in recent memory. In fact, the only game that comes to mind that rivals the level of depth and realism found here would probably be Bethesda's (now ancient and outdated) Daggerfall. … Continue reading Kingdom Come: Deliverance Fidget Review
The Ritual (Netflix) Fidget Review
What happens when four friends go hiking through the remote mountains of Sweden, as they honor one of their dead mates? The Ritual is a heart-pounding adventure -- especially in its first three-quarters or so -- which explores that very subject matter. And while the last portion of the movie doesn't always hit home, it … Continue reading The Ritual (Netflix) Fidget Review
