A Long Overdue Introduction

Greetings, people of Earth! For years we have been here, waiting and watching. Observing the eccentricities and nuance of that which remains hidden under the surface.

And we’re making a blog about it.

Over the coming weeks and months, we hope to bring you a wide, eclectic range on interesting articles. We hope you’ll enjoy what we offer, and share our passion for the wonders of the world around us, both mundane and strange.

Roughly speaking, our offerings will fall into a handful of broad categories. We hope to have a little something for anyone with a sweet tooth for the weird and wonderful. In time we will separate the blog into sections for each category.

First off we will be covering news and happenings in the movie and television world, mostly focused on fantasy, science fiction, horror, and comic book genres. From the latest MCU news to trailers for up-and-coming standalone movies, and with a wide range of tv shows both past and present, we’ll always have a good recommendation for something to watch on a dark and stormy Netflix Night.

We hope to share reviews and analysis of episodes of our favorite shows as they come out. Spoiler-light (can’t always avoid the spoilers), of course. Movie reviews will of course be posted as well, and we look forward to engaging with you on what worked or didn’t work on the latest genre films.

We will also post articles on shows we particularly love, and convince you, through reasoned explanation, examples, and perhaps subtle telepathic influence, why you should give certain movies and TV series a chance.

We will also have some coverage of the gaming world. Caveat being it will mostly focus on games that fall within similar veins of the rest of the site, so fantasy, space, and other oddities. We’ve gamed since the days of Super Mario Bros. and Rygar. We don’t distinguish between fans of console and PC gaming, all are welcome here.

And finally, from the stranger corners of existence will come our final section, where we will cover news and happenings from the world of the paranormal, cryptozoology, and everything else lurking in the night that doesn’t fit into a textbook. We hope to investigate actual stories here in Washington State and the Pacific Northwest region, as well as cover interesting stories from further afield. We will seek out witnesses and experiencers to get their stories, as well as look into local sightings to see if there’s reasonable explanations for strange goings-on or if reality is really just a little weirder than we give it credit for. We will strive to be fair and impartial in regards to hearing out people who have seen or experience the strange and fantastical while also keeping our objectivity. First up will be a tour and background article on the haunted town of Port Gamble, Washington. So keep an eye out for that.

We will also post articles detailing the background and history of various allegedly supernatural phenomenon, with research and links provided for you to read and research on your own.

In closing, we hope you’ll join us and enjoy as we traverse through the mysteries and shadowy nooks and crannies of life, while arguing and discussing the finer points of the latest nerdy movie or video game.

Welcome to Third Helix Entertainment!

The Lightforged Draenei

Image
“Give me a hundred Lightforged. Barring that, a thousand regular troops”. That, in a sentence, explains the value of the Lightforged Draenei. Their story is not told in great detail in-game, but what is shown is daunting. When the Naaru rescued the draenei from their world as the Legion assumed control, the great dimensional ship split into two vessels. One, carrying the civilians, children, and other non-combatants fled into space seeking new worlds to settle. These refugees would go on to become the draenei that joined the Alliance. The other ship, housing the surviving army and magical users who had fled Argus, were taken and forged into a force used to strike at the very heart of the Burning Legion, the Army of the Light. These draenei were put through a ritual to make them confront their own internal darkness, and the few who survived this ordeal found themselves changed. Lightforged draenei who survive the trial have paler, alabaster skin, compared to their kin, and their eyes gl

Isolation Watchlist - Day 1

Image
Well, 2020 is off to an...intense start, wouldn’t you agree? If, like me, you live in an area currently dealing with an outbreak of novel coronavirus or covid-19, you’re probably going to have a lot of time at home to kill. It’s a perfect time to catch up on some binge watching! At least until the toilet paper runs out and it’s time to don your war gear and go out to fight for more. I’ll try to bring you a good recommendation for a bingeable show to watch each day. Maybe we can get through this with a minimum of sanity loss. If you’ve seen the recommendation or don’t like it, it’s ok, a new show will be administered to your streaming IV the next day, so hang in there! My Name is Earl - Day 1 We’ve all felt like karma has it in for us at some time. In Earl Hickey’s (Jason Lee) case, he’s absolutely right. My Name is Earl follows a simple man’s attempt to better his life by correcting every wrong he’s committed in his checkered past. After winning $100,000 off a stolen lottery

The Gnomes of Gnomeregan

Image
They say good things come in small packages, and that holds true in the case of the gnomes. The diminutive race of tinkerers and engineers have long been the source of the Alliance’s more sophisticated weapons, and the gnomes apply the same analytical methods and sharp intellect to the study of the arcane as well, making themselves very adept mages (and somewhat dangerous warlocks). But like all races in World of Warcraft, these light-hearted geniuses and inventors have overcome hardship and tragedy in their past. The origins of the gnomish history are lost to the mists of time. Gnomes focus on advancement and innovation, and for much of their history paid little heed to recording their history. In time, the gnomes would learn their lost history and that the gnomes are children of the Titans, along with the humans, dwarves, and other races. They were originally mechagnomes, clockwork caretakers and innovators of the great Titanic technology that works under Azeroth’s surface and in the
