Hi, I'm a doctoral candidate at the University of Florida, studying Visual Culture. I mostly do Comics/Graphic Novels and Computer Games. As a gamer, I love
Dom 3. As an academic, I just finished a lengthy paper about Hinnom/Ashdod/Gath. It's on-line at Gameology, a kind of blog+ for Games Studies.
In case anyone is interested, the title is
The Kohen Gadol has Horns: the Fates of the Giants in Dominions 3, and the direct link is:

In brief, it traces some of the important themes, names and images in the nations of the Giants all the way to the Dead Sea Scrolls (which might - or might not - be a surprise to the designers of Hinnom, Ashdod and Gath).
Thank you all,
Tof
P.S. - I also posted a piece of fan art I drew (ink & watercolor) for Agartha's "Ageless Olm" Pretender on deviantART. Direct link:
