Fallen Angels, Episode 1: Lay Me Down to Rest ...
The story of a rough cop is told, recapping mission-by-mission what led him up to his current scenario. Will the charges me dropped? Will he ever be able to live with himself after the situations he went through in his squad? Will anything ... ever be the same? Join him as he recounts the greatest story ever told ... perhaps not so much, but the exposition is deliriously good. Or so Bill would agree. (Episode 1)

The Shadow Journal Presents: Blitz: The League II
Blue 42, Blue 42 ... hike! Delve into the underground world of non-licensed, non-official rough-and-tumble football with Raftacon and the character he advances through the tiers, conveniently named Kid Franchise. The bruises, the broken bones, the blood, the lost seasons, the lost games, the juicing, and the medical attention needed are just a few of the things this reiteration of the series brings into a new light ... but, this time, with more ruptured scrotums than you can shake a stick at!

Traverse the Wilderness (04-12-09)
So, I picked up Far Cry 2 at Best Buy for about 40 hard-earned dollars back on Friday and, man, am I regretting it. Alright, time to backtrack -- though I was a fan of the original Far Cry, I never made it very far, seeing as how it seemed my character had a homing beacon implanted up his ass which made it very hard to "stealth" (quote-unquote) my way around the island unheard and unseen. And this, in turn, often left me with many-a-bullethole riddled in my character before the whole adventure...
