I decided to investigate some of the authors of fantasy game books that I used to read when I was a kid. J.H. Brennan is still publishing with the most recent book in 2003. Some of the Fighting Fantasy books are being reprinted over the past 6 years.

Those books were a gateway drug to pen and paper rpg and various rpg computer games.

I enjoyed The Wrestler. Some good down trodden trailer dwelling, drugs and strippers. It was better than what I thought it would be and there were a number of cringe worthy moments. The director did a good job getting you to feeling the barbed wire and razors.

Jam is supposed to be on the muffin (not my mouse).

Enjoy your fingering.
