About Me

"The Great Deeds--the actual . . . the imagined--never truly die. Their echoes are here, and here, and there, all about us, quietly shaping our worlds, and our peoples, and our creeds. But they sleep after a time. They sleep, and when they do, they must be awakened with words that give them strength and force anew. With our words. That is why we are."

An AWESOME blend of live action and Source animation, this film takes place at the same time as Half-Life 2 Episode One, and follows members of the Resistance trying to escape from City 17 before the Citadel goes kablooey.This is not your typical lousy fanflick; it's truly well done, and even the folks at Valve loved it.

Newspapers from another planet

I visited Ma Saturday evening, and she gave me some newspapers from another planet. Perhaps several planets. At least, that's how it seemed. I have known for years that she saved papers from significa...

Touch

Silence ruled the room; her song reigned in his mind. His eyes fluttered, tightened and his breath caught in a sharp sigh through tightly drawn lips, for an instant frozen, as though th...
