TAKE A WALK

let me tell you about the first experience I ever had with saints row I didn’t have my feet in the ground with where they should be when it came to the media choices of something like Grand Theft Auto. The boat had missed me by a country mile that started with a post on…


THE LEATHER LESBIANATRIXES OF THE DARK DOM DROW DUNGEON

the first thing you do in Baldur’s Gate 3 is make an Action Figure. there are a host of stock body options you can choose from the card shop shelf, the infinite freedom of teenage creativity turned into black card stock and clam shell packaging on slates of wood with merchandising hooks down every aisle….


ANIME NEXT 23′

written by Axe Binondo, paid for by the Deep Hell Patreon Heartbeats. The echoes of wooden paddles from a bygone era, bruising the ass of anyone cosplaying an anime twink. The anguished guitar tone of a Japanese band playing their first US show at an American anime convention. Can you hear it? It’s all here at…


HEIRLOOM

Back in the mid-2000’s, the height of the Iraq War and numerous what would-later be called “police actions” by the war-obsessed United States Government, the looming threat of paramiliarization hung over every aspect of pop culture. Marines fought Dragons in Television Commercials, held jeweled broadswords in gaming magazines. Everywhere I turned, there was a Military…

THE WHEEL

Hitting newsstands in 1992, almost thirty years ago, Marvel’s Spider Man 2099 offered a curious glimpse to the future. New York got taller, deeper, wider. The Heroic Age went and left no traces behind, the spirit of development covering every world-ending threat, downtown crisis and every common recognizable mark that textures the belief that superhero…


JUST BECAUSE I DON’T SAY ANYTHING

seven years ago if you search for it, well, that might be one of the only uses of italic text on the entire deep-hell.com that isn’t the title of a videogame, a movie, or an album. I like to think I win something by sticking to some kind of personal rule that we won’t use…


updates to Elden

What is there to see in this school that I can’t see outside of its doors? I think that’s what Jack would say – coming up on my least favorite area in Elden Ring but one, at the time, most of my social media feeds seemed wholly split on. It was either an area choked…


this trip was partially possible because of DEEP HELL.COM’s patreon, which is funded in no small amount by 1 or 2 dollars at a time from readers like you. https://patreon.com/DEEPHELL I spent all of the first part of the year now building up what GDC could mean, I didn’t think about actually doing my job…


3/23/23

The lights go down. It’s worse than you can imagine out here in California in The Games Industry, it’s time for the Real Awards show for some of the people in the audience. The stage is cleared of speakers, independent or otherwise. The crowd falls completely silent. The teleprompter kicks into high gear: it’s not…
