Fan-Fiction Spotlight - Letter from Silent Heaven

Hey all,
  It's been a good while since I took while to read a good fan-fiction, and I seemed to have stumbled across another one lately.  This one is called, "Letter from Silent Heaven."

  This one is pretty engaging, and INCREDIBLY long!  I've only gotten to the third chapter today, and I had to stop myself, because of other obligations I have today.  It's like something I read in the Game Informer about Dead Space 2 (which I recently picked up - expect a blurb about that soon!), the reviewer had to keep convincing themselves they'd stop at the next check point, and then just one more, and just one more...you get the idea, right?

  So - the fic.  This one is told from the perspective of James from Silent Hill 2, the protagonist of the game.  It put me off at first, due to length, but once I started reading, I began asking myself if I would have acted any different than him, put in the same situation he found himself in. 

  The prologue is original content, and all the internal dialogue is as well, which separates it from a regurgitated script from the game type of fan-fic.  I assume the author was tired when he wrote some of the chapters, because there are a few grammatical errors, but the message is still conveyed clearly despite that fact.

  If you don't know anything about the Silent Hill franchise, you should take a moment to check it out if you want a good psychological horror story driven game.  For those that want a brief synopsis, here's the overall feel of the second game. 

  You are James, and you've been sinking slowly but surely into the depths of despair since your wife passed away due to an illness.  One day, a letter shows up on your doorstep, from Mary.  Logic tells you how impossible this is, but this glimmer of hope is a welcome sight, as compared to the absolute misery you've felt up to this point.  You take it upon yourself to investigate the validity of this letter, by going to Silent Hill to look for her.  However, the town has several nasty surprises waiting for you, and you must battle your way through them in order to ascertain the truth.

  As I said earlier, the internal dialogue is really what drives this story forward, and will grab you by the throat, and demand that you keep reading, in order to understand James' motivation, as well as his methods and reasoning.

  Here's a link to the main story:

Blue/alien people?  Check!  Environmentalists?  Check!  Man is evil and an enemy to nature?  DOUBLE CHECK!  Looks like we've got ourselves a James Cameron movie!
(I'm going to get sooo much crap for this, but I don't care!)

New Design and Site Header

I got bored with the old look, so I gave the site a face-lift!
I'll probably stick with this design for a while, until I can think of something else to use...
That's all for now!

Super sleuth with a soft spot for women...
I'm okay with that - ARE YOU?

Hi there folks,
  I just added a new batch of apparel and such at my store with a design my Dad made.  Here's an image of the design to look at:

The Pest

There is a fine line between comedy and mind-numbingly annoying.  Fortunately this movie comes nowhere close to that line!
