I'm grateful for a peculiar upbringing. While many fathers shared their wisdom of car repair and the infield fly rule, my own was more comfortable discussing Tex Avery cartoons, Kennedy assassination conspiracies and the works of H.P. Lovecraft. And while I'm grateful for this obscure bit of cultural literacy, knowing my Nyarlathoteps from my Yog-Sothoths hasn't really paid off in any "practical" way. Thankfully, Headfirst's upcoming Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth game affords me a perfect opportunity to lord this familiarity with nameless horrors over the other editors here. The gang from Bethesda graciously allowed us to get a look at the game recently.
