We talk a lot about Cthulu here at the CaffiNation. One because its a semi common geek story. Geeks like to feel special, like they are privy to secret knowledge no one else has, and they also tend to be rabid fans of things. From Cthulu having a starring role in Penny Arcade’s light holiday Reading, The Last Christmas, to the affable character in the User Friendly, Cthulu is with us, and waiting… always.
But for the people who haven’t read the stories by H.P. Lovecraft or have any understanding of the Mythos surrounding. a good animated short will have to do. Huge thanks to ECTOPLASMOSIS for posting this! (Fantastic site for all the fans tentacled menace, and fans of the macabre in general) Here is an animated short, At the Mountains of Madness. it is in Italian, but it has wonderful subtitles and tells the tale far better than I could explain it. This is not a derivative work, but rather the story animated. Well done!
Take the time out of your day to experience the horror of the story. 33 minutes, well worth it.
I have writers block, not the little kind were you can think of a special fun word for the correct shade of orange but the honest to goodness stare at a blank page and wonder where all the win went. I had so many ideas, and now i swear i hear an echo. but thank goodness for the kindness of friends and contributors. Steve and Tara filled in some great stories for this week when the words were not only not flowing but I think they migrated south. All that aside we have a metric ton of fun and interesting things to talk about today, and some more interesting stuff in the pipeline.

How does a horror / terror writer make a superhero, who has struggled with his self image, cool? Well Aqua-man is lord of all Denizens of the deep right…
There just happens to be a special place in the world for out of this world horrors, called R’lyeh. You know the orange tights, not so much of a problem now.
A lot of things have happened here in the last week, from elections to news stories to interesting projects at work. The news must have been holding off until after the election because we have a ton of great content that just didn’t make it into the show. Tonight’s episode is truly some of the best and I think most interesting links and topics of the day.
