DISCLAIMER: DEEP-HELL IS NOT GOING ANYWHERE IN 2026. SCREENSHOTS PROVIDED BY ‘FARIS’ ‘LORE’ AND OTHERS. THANK YOU FOR PLAYING VIDEOGAMES in 2025. The mood this year was travel and restarts, not the same website posts about how out of touch playing too many videogames had made me. I know, I know. A strange model for…
INFINITE FREEWAY
Churning sands drained of life and echoing voices: just like the first few pages of Scott Pilgrim, some moron is once again alone in something that’s a metaphor for the subconscious. We’re playing another videogame, drifting logos in time block my vision and the start game scene appears again. It’s a character action game with…
UNFORGETTABLE RELATIONSHIPS
I’ll be real in saying when I started writing about videogames I’m not exactly sure what I expected. No, no: now is the time I think it’s allowed that you can can kill me. I started off with working class stories about people in my life – but when everyone is dead, arrested, or doesn’t…
THE TEN WOMEN I’VE HAD TO BE
I still hold it in my heart that one of the great sex pests of the comics industry once told me the best way to open an article, while turning down my work, was to open with a snippet of something relatable to the audience I was writing for. When I was still pining after…

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…
3/22 5:00 PM (GDC #3)
I can feel my brain turn and fall into some kind of slump standing in the line to the Awards Show after a making a loop around all three convention buildings to find out where the hell I’m supposed to go. Already clear to me is the size and scope of this place, the people…
