There seems to be something of a buzz around the board lately...and the internet in certain places concerning the possibility that Blackfoot Studios is wickedly up to no good. Well, it's true. At least that is what I read.
Getting a game into production often occurs like overnight success in Hollywood used to occur...after years of hard work and perseverence. Although I can't say what is happening at the moment, I will say that I will sleep very well tonight. Actually tomorrow as I will certa
Well it's time to pull out the bullhorn and call ######. Not that I need a bullhorn mind you. Running pre-scuba training for candidates I can always yell like a loudspeaker anyway.

Stupid actions normally begin with the best of intentions. I saw a leg engineer intent upon improving some of the facilities in Bagram Airbase by removing some of the useless junk. TRANSLATION: He was searching for a few souvenirs for relatives. He lost a leg. Lesson learned from a bitter and unforgiving teacher about treading unfamiliar ground. Look to see who has travelled there before you...and recently.It was without trepidation I began my trek into the world of the personal website. A minef
