Unwinnable Weekly

Since 2010, Unwinnable has been a showcase for offbeat, experimental, poignant and funny stories about games, books, movies and even weird stuff, like an advice column from a space marine 38,000 years in the future. We're devoted to examining the intersection of the culture we love and the lives we lead, bringing you the best in pop-cultural criticism, creative non-fiction and the occasional serialized short once a week in a beautiful digital magazine. Unwinnable is life with culture.

Our first issue includes a great selection of stories that run the gamut from videogames to fiction.

To kickoff our debut, we have an interview with Lovecraftian pulp-horror writer Laird Barron by Edition-In-Chief Stu Horvath and a look at the strange iOS mystery game A Dark Room by Cara Ellison. Meanwhile, Richard Clark uncovers the dark side of Pharrel's infectiously poppy "Happy," while Matt Marrone explores the trials and tribulations of joining an adult softball league. Finally, Gus Mustrapa channels his inner Dungeons & Dragons-fan with his own dark fantasy serial.

No matter what your taste, Unwinnable Weekly has you covered, so make sure to check out our selection of back issues today!
