Nostalgia

Nostalgia is when you forget the shitty parts of history. Here at Cyberpunk Hero we tend to avoid nostalgia – generally, history was about is good and bad as it is right now.
However, there are some things we’re nostalgic about:

The Monster in the Closet

Generally, when people think of monsters, boogeymen and the like, they consider them to be fallacies of youth. But adults have their own set of boogeymen.

Da-da-da-digg, da-da-da-digg, da-da-da-digg!

Free programs = good. No issue, right?

Well, almost.

Sects

Wow, I was searching on Google the other day and I noticed that there are an awful lot of different Christian sects. What’s up with that?

I’ll Ask The Wizard For An Artist’s Hands

Not a sitcom though. Those are really lame.

I’ve always wanted to create a cyberpunk comedy of some sort.  The medium doesn’t matter – television, comic books, literature, it’s all good.   It’s just something that hasn’t been done yet.
The problem is, of course, that cyberpunk has an inherently dark nature.  And darkness doesn’t usually lend itself to comedy, especially not in the HGttG [...]

N-n-n-names!

I love names.
Names are so cool. We use them all the time, but we don’t stop to think about how complicated they are. And that’s what makes them so cool. They’re abstract, but easy.

But you know what’s scarier? Not being creative. Only being a consumer, never a producer. Simply being a [...]

Cyberpunk On The Seas

Here at Cyberpunk Hero we don’t normally do link posts. This is an exception.
