“Exit 8” Is an Immersive and Unsettling Video Game Adaption It’s a very simple but clever premise that at first glance seems unadaptable to film, which makes this endeavor that much more impressive.

“Exit 8” is an engaging psychological thriller that's worth the watch even if you haven't played the puzzle-style indie game it's based on. #TwinCitiesGeeks twincitiesgeek.com/2026/04/exit...

I did a write-up on what to know about the Artemis II mission! It's a really exciting time to look up to the stars, check it out!

Absolute cinema watching that jar of Nutella escape contain behind the backs of the astronauts after packing other things away

What to Know About NASA’s Artemis II Mission to the Moon The mission is set to lay the groundwork for a future return to the lunar surface for the first time since 1972, while also sending four astronauts further into deep space than ever before.

The astronauts of Artemis II are halfway through their time in space. What can you expect for the rest of the mission—and when is Artemis III scheduled for liftoff? #ArtemisII #TwinCitiesGeeks twincitiesgeek.com/2026/04/what...

You don't know what you’re missing out on at fan conventions. At the last Anime Detour, I strolled over to the Sheraton programming room to watch a wrestling match of Luigi versus Bowser played up with the greatest theatrics. The crowd was going wild. Pure joy. Fun you can't get anywhere else.

“The Girl Who Draws on Whales” Is a Confident, Compelling Debut The first graphic novel fully written and illustrated by Eisner nominee Ariela Kristantina is pure vibes.

"The Girl Who Draws on Whales," released digitally last fall, is out this week in print from @darkhorse.com. Our reviewer calls it "an emotionally direct story of exploration, adventure, discovery, and inner growth." #comics #graphicnovels #TwinCitiesGeeks twincitiesgeek.com/2025/09/the-...

A scale illustration of the Earth and the Moon, with the Earth on the far left, lots of black, and then the Moon on the far right, about 30 Earth diameters away.

In honor of (hopefully) today's launch of NASA's Artemis II mission, the first crewed mission to orbit the Moon in more than 50 years, here is a to-scale graphic of exactly how far away the Moon actually is. (Click image to expand.) You could fit about 30 Earths between the Earth and the Moon!
