Sometimes women’s pants have fake pockets. Is that a mean joke, or are we simply slaves to the sleek and stylish lines of women’s fashion? Is having pockets somehow considered to be too manly? Or are people afraid of what we would put in our pockets were they to be real? I believe the answer […]

Shadowrun may be the most popular geek franchise you’ve never heard of.
