In lieu of the greedy monetization schemes of such games as Suicide Squad, Anthem, Avengers, and even Diablo IV, Helldivers II's model is worth some praise; the game itself is phenomenal fun. I've spent over forty hours with it, and still I'm eager to play more.

But don't let that fool you - there's plenty here worth experiencing. I get into both over the next seventeen minutes.

It's one of the most rewarding intellectual experiences I've had with a book this year. Gene Wolfe deserves that "grand master of SF" title the nerds gave him. (I'd have been one of them.)

Vlad, owed money by a dead man, tries to get his eight hundred imperials back--and things get infinitely more complicated than he's signed up for. A captivating mystery, a few murders, including Vlad's own, and a support cast to kill for--all of these brought to live by Steven Brust's witty and dynamic dialogue and characterization.

This novel follows the story of Notker, an actor who is forced to take on the role of a deceased champion in a fantasy analogue to Constantinople that has been under siege for nine years.
As Notker navigates the complex political landscape of the city and the impending threat of the enemy, he draws from his experiences in the theatre to solve problems and entertain along the way. In this video, I discuss Parker's signature voice, the intricacies of the plot, and the lessons the book imparts.
