		<title>No Spore to Stand the Test of Time</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Imagine this: it&#8217;s 1985, and you&#8217;re playing this new video game called Tetr.

		<description><![CDATA[The drums of doom thunder. Soon the rivers will flow with blood, the moon will turn red, the sun will turn black as night. And by the morning star the four horsemen will ride. Granted, as a non-christian who kind of hopes that God exists, my knowledge of the apocalypse may be limited. This is [...]]]></description>
