Firefly/Serenity Planetary Postmarks
After the heartbreaking cancellation of FIREFLY (2002) and the release of its companion movie SERENITY (2005), I spent many years making jewelry for cosplayers and fans known as Browncoats. I founded the annual Raleigh Can’t Stop the Serenity charity event … Continue reading

Netflix WITCHER
I love the WITCHER show but Netflix Geralt don’t use Igni or Aard even 1/5 as often as I did playing Witcher 3. ~ J.L. Hilton Connect, support, comment or contact the author here

The value of happiness
At times it is difficult to see the value of my work as an author, artist and content creator. With the world so full of cruelty, ignorance, injustice and pain, the thought of writing a story, making jewelry or livestreaming a video game … Continue reading

Uh… that’ll be a “no” for me, thanks
I’ve played so many video games, I know that when you start seeing mannequins, it’s never good news. Photograph taken at a local warehouse that sells store fixtures. ~ J.L. Hilton Connect, support, comment or contact the author here

Fallout 3 Holiday Special
Season’s greetings! In this very special video, my lone wanderer Charity plays Santa Claus and delivers holiday cheer to the children of the Capital Wasteland, while Fawkes plays Krampus. This turned out unintentionally hilarious due to the children’s cynical dialogue. … Continue reading

Movie Night: THE 13TH WARRIOR
I rewatched THE 13th WARRIOR last night, free with ads on YouTube. I loved this movie when it came out in 1999, and I still love it now, even though it’s considered a box office bomb. I don’t think it … Continue reading

Early celebrity crushes
In the ’70s and ’80s, while other girls were crushing on musicians like Shaun Cassidy and NKOTB, or “brat pack” stars like Rob Lowe and Emilio Estevez, my tastes were always a little more nerdy. The 1978 TV movie Dr. … Continue reading

Movies: The Guns of Navarone
I recently watched The Guns of Navarone (1961), a movie that inspired the FALLOUT 3 Operation: Anchorage DLC (2009), specifically the “Guns of Anchorage” quest, and the original CASTLE WOLFENSTEIN (1981) video game by Silas Warner and Muse Software for … Continue reading
