History Corner

Historically, many people were literate, but you wouldn't believe what these jokers tried to pass off as handwriting. They didn't cotton to fancy notions like margins and spacing, either.

I've Been Reincarnated in a World Where They Solve Disputes with Pinball!

"How am I supposed to beat a guy named Master Pinball? I'm not even that good at it!"
"I wish you'd thought of that before you killed me and usurped my place as Knight Champion of Railand."
"I wasn't thinking of anything. I was just defending myself. I didn't ask for your title, and I sure didn't ask for you to take up lodgings inside my soul."
"Fair enough. In lieu of rent, let me tell you about a pinball technique no one native to this world can perform."
The onlookers gasped and clung to one another for support when they saw it. The legendary forbidden skill: Tilt!

The Proper Length for a Novel

A novel ought to be large enough that when the pages are cut out, a gun can be hidden inside. It will look suspicious if I only have one of those. Please hurry, authors. My wealthy bachelor uncle is on the verge of writing me out of his will.

Dune Primer

Some people might be confused when going to see the new movie without having read the book, so here is important information everyone should know before watching it.

1. House Ordos is the strongest, but the factions don't differ all that much.
2. At the time the book was written, attracting the worm was generally believed to be undesirable.
3. "Atomics" is a family-friendly euphemism for "pornography."
4. Movie theaters do in fact still exist. I was shocked too.

Enjoy your movie!

Tales of Luminaria Went

Shame about those initial reviews, fellas, but look on the bright side. Maybe the fifteenth Tales mobile game will be a huge success.

Tales of Luminaria Is Coming

And for everyone's convenience, they split it into JP and Global servers so we know which one will get shut down first. What a swell publisher!

Breaking News

They're making a movie out of Hyperion? They'd better make a book out of it first.

Addendum

That sort of thing happened all the time in the 70s, but it's less common today.
