Columbia’s Insane and Twisted Religiosity

By On March 31, 2013 · Leave a Comment

Columbia is a backwards place. Even for a skyward city. Its religion especially is an intriguing premise. A theocracy immersed in religion heavily influenced by Americanism. Major spoilers ahead.

By On December 12, 2012 · 2 Comments

This industry lives for outrage. Some outrage is justifiable, like the ill-treatment of women, and some is laughably ridiculous. An episode of the latter came up recently with the often delayed BioShock Infinite and its atrocious cover.

Day #10: Gloriously Killing in Borderlands 2′s “True Vault Hunter Mode”

By On October 1, 2012 · Leave a Comment

I originally meant to post every single day as part of the 3o-day blogging challenge, with the option to expand it further, but for whatever reason I decided not to. But today, September 14, is the day the however-many-days blogging challenge starts on Holygrenade!

This series will center around video gaming as mostly every [...]
