Graphic Novels : Preacher, Ancient History

Preacher, Ancient History can actually stand alone as it is a collection of back stories or history for the Saint of Killers, Arseface and the good ol' boys (Jody and T.C.). All three stories are deep and rich, but I expect nothing less from writer Garth Ennis. So, if you want to know why the devil threw the Saint out of hell, or why Arseface did what he did this is the collection for you.

General : Facebook!

So, Xbox Live has launched a Facebook application and everyone I know seems to be on Facebook. I thought "What the hell! I'll join too", thus far I have discovered it almost like blogging, but with a captive audience, which is quite funny, considering the rubbish that is in my mind!

Borderlands : Why haven't you brought it?

Borderlands is one of this year's greatest console games, due the cooperative play, first person shooting and role playing elements plus the graphics are amazing!

Graphic Novels : Preacher, Proud Americans

Grr, I hate reading graphic novels out of context, but as Amazon thus far have failed to source "Until the end of the World". I have begrudgingly read Proud Americans. The story is one of friendship and strength of character as Jesse Custer attempts to rescue his friend Cassidy from the forces of evil. Jesse Custer shows outstanding courage and to quote John Wayne "Courage is being scared to death but saddling up anyway". Fabulous!
