Introducing the new real life drama series, Cimmerian. This series is inspired by true events involving real people. The story is told from the perspective of the narrator. For the sake of privacy, the narrator shall herein be called, Dmitry.…
That’s exactly what he said when I showed him this picture; and while he might have wondered why anyone would marry a Megalodon shark, he kept his curiosity to himself. Apparently, you don’t ask too many questions when someone is…
Anyone listening to Secret Laboratory Radio this weekend must have thought that they had tuned in an insane asylum, one which had been overrun by the patients and was being taken apart, piece by piece. It wasn’t pretty, nor was…
Beware, dear reader: spoilers ahead. In October 1929, on a Black Tuesday that marked the depth of what economist Irvine Fisher described as the “great plateau,” foreshadowing some pretty heinous irony, (or in other words, embedding what Welles would have…
For those of you who regularly read my articles, you know that I generally write silly, funny things and tend to stay away from political issues, especially ones where I take direct quotes from newspapers, as I will in this…
(Despite my better judgment I felt the need to pull a comment from a recent email I received, which addressed my common use of the word determinism) Cite the exclamation, to whom I felt compelled to respond. “Time is…
Chronic pain can make your life completely miserable, sometimes even unbearable. I deal with moderate to severe pain on a daily basis and there have been times that I didn’t think I could live another day. I suffer from Fibromyalgia,…
Gut-wrenching fear struck me as I looked at the name that popped up on my phone, Deanna Deanna. The name was supposed to only say Deanna, but apparently I had a brain fart the day I entered my Aunt Deanna’s…
Writing fiction is an artistic expression, and like most artistic expressions it relies for much of its essence on a lot of common patterns that both the reader and the writer can recognize. That’s sometimes the best part of…

Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone! Today is a day of love, chocolate, fancy dinners, jeweley, and sex with the lights on. Since I am your typical uppity diva, I generally demand a combination of 4 or more of the things listed…
Editor’s Note: YDO beta tests the new Redbox streaming option and he has some constructive criticism. Below, another user shows us how to kill an RCA console TV using dry ice & YDO. Please go to http://www.youtube.com/user/ke6ydoCh2 and make a donation or…
I was parsing the quality of some movies with a friend a few days ago. You know how it goes – us consumers often measure things against the standards by which all other things of equal categorization are judged…
If Germany is known for one thing, it’s their unofficial motto of “Go big or go home.” Whether they are holding hateful pep rallies or improving on wiener schnitzel, they always take things to the next level. So it’s no…
I’ll be honest and say that I am a Grasshopper Manufacture fan boy. Killer 7, No More Heroes, Shining Soul, Sine Mora, to me they just make great games. I think the reason is because what they do is quite…
Should Games have a story? Americans are getting dumber. Sorry to point it out, but your kids are getting a shitty education, being fed brain rotting cartoons and the media treats them like they are too stupid for their own…
So last night was my official birthday outing. I was planning on going to ‘Insert Coins’ the new Video Game Nightclub in Minneapolis, then I read it was basically ladies night. See that wouldn’t bother me normally, but the amount…
This is more of a rant than my normal mostly thought out articles. I reached a boiling point today because of DRM bullshit and WiiU hatred coming from reviewers. So here’s what my personal thoughts are… I’ve been having pseudo…
I never write 2 articles in one day, however I finally got around to the DMC demo that was released 4 days ago. After playing it, I felt compelled to write… I’ll admit, when I first saw the updated DMC…
It’s Saturday night, and you know what that means, right ladies? It’s time to party! Time to kick back, take your hair down from that elegant-yet-oppressive chignon, and switch your makeup from “business professional” to “certified streetwalker.” My Saturday’s used…

Like many people who move to a new city and have absolutely no friends, I spend a lot of time on the internet these days. Facebook, of course, is my go-so site, since it allows me to stalk my exes…
Sex these days just isn’t what it used to be. It’s undergone many changes throughout the ages; from being seen as shameful and dirty to selling it on the internet through Craigslist or a web cam, we’ve come a long…
Thousands of baby rats streamed out of the corners and cracks, their tiny pink bodies soon covering the dirty walls and floor. He bolted awake onto an elbow, breathing heavily and blinking away the huddles of baby rats he saw…
Hello? Yes? See honey, nobody is here, just like we said. Oh, I’m here alright. But I saw him. He was right in the corner. Honey, it must have been a shadow. Or a dream. No, it was me. But…
We thought we’d gone to heaven; then there was a tap tap tapping all around us. It moves. It surrounds. It vanishes. It returns. It was an ‘old’ new tap tap tapping, of nature not man. There is something about…

Lab Rats. I hate to admit it, but the last couple weeks or so, I’ve been hit with the baby bug . . . I know, Tom. I know. Hwaat!? Don’t trip. I don’t understand it myself. I mean . . .…
Sometimes everyone needs a break from something they love. For me it’s been a break from writing – I haven’t touched my personal blog in months and have just reposted some older ones for Secret Laboratory. I even put my…
That’s exactly what he said when I showed him this picture; and while he might have wondered why anyone would marry a Megalodon shark, he kept his curiosity to himself. Apparently, you don’t ask too many questions when someone is…
Anyone listening to Secret Laboratory Radio this weekend must have thought that they had tuned in an insane asylum, one which had been overrun by the patients and was being taken apart, piece by piece. It wasn’t pretty, nor was…
Huh. It’s been two weeks since I wrote my last column and I’ve accomplished very little, in either my professional or my personal life. Every day I think that I ought to write something … but then I find something…

Now that’s what I call a game. All the drama and heart you would expect to see in an NBA Playoff match was on display in Oklahoma City for Wednesday’s Game 2. It was a tight one all the way…
Despite a hot start at home, Philadelphia was cooled off considerably in the second quarter en route to a 107-91 loss at the hands of The Celtics, who take a 2-1 lead in this best-of-seven series. Philly ended the first…
Clippers point guard Chris Paul made a sweet Los Angeles sports weekend sweeter still. Only a handful of hours after The L.A. Lakers secured a series-deciding victory at Staples Center in L.A., Paul and the new-look Clippers made a physical…
I’ve watched The Lakers compete in the post-season for about as long as I can remember. Some years they were dominant (dismantling The Magic in only 5 games in the 2009 NBA Finals) and in others they struggled with…

So here we are. Back in the lab. I can’t say that I am back with original literary enthusiasm and have pulled myself from my dark little crevice or if I’m simply poking my head out to see if the…
