“When Braun Strowman arrived at the Swamp, there was a sign that read ‘Abandon All Hope Ye Who Enter Here’ which could be a hint about the Firefly Fun House.” –Phillipa Marie, Sportskeeda, July 20, 2020

“I Wish to Thank Donald Trump for His Inspirational Presidency”

“Will Coronavirus Continue to Hold SEC Football Hostage?”
“A fall without college football sounds like the wickedest episode of the ‘The Twilight Zone’ or maybe even one of Dante’s nine circles of Hell.” –Terry J. Wood, Fayetteville Flyer, July 28, 2020

“What’s the Sneeze Etiquette in a Mask?”
“I’ll continue to comply and wear a mask— even with threat of a sneeze—because the benefits do seem to outweigh the negatives. Save the world and eliminate the need for Scope. That’s not a bad combo, and honestly, I’ll wear a mask through the nine circles of hell (AKA Columbia in August) if it helps bring back high school and college sports.” –Mike Maddock, Columbia Star, August 13, 2020

“Great Moments in PC Gaming: Guiding Noobs Through a Co-Op Session”
“We were all that noob at some point. I have fond memories of a friend convincing me to give Halo a shot in co-op, him playing Master Chief and me playing his buddy, ‘The Spartan Who Disappears During Cutscenes.’ The first time I tried Portal 2‘s multiplayer mode it was at a gaming bar with an engineering student who, even drunk, knew everything there was to know about thinking with portals. Being able to return these favors by acting as Virgil to someone else’s Dante—except instead of the nine circles of Hell, it’s Borderlands 2 or whatever—feels like paying the experiences forward, ensuring some kind of cosmic scale is balanced.” –Jody Macgregor, PC Gamer, August 15, 2020

“Dante’s Inferno” in Shadowrun
“The club is styled after the allegory of the nine circles of hell as described in the Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri, having nine dance floors with each floor going further down with each corresponding circle of hell. They also have a digital host with which offline members and online members can react with the aid of AR. The club’s digital menu is for simsense users and deliberately designed as a scroll, and the digital lounge is designed to simulate the feeling of live flames.” —Shadowrun Wiki, February 2, 2015
