In 1938 Austria joined the Third Reich. Millions cheered Hitler and in the referendum 99.75% said 'yes' to 'Greater Germany'.
But after World War II, many Austrians sought comfort in the idea of Austria as "the Nazis' first victim". Factions of Austrian society tried for a long time to advance the view that it was only annexation at the point of a bayonet(te).
But it's time to embrace history. It's time to remember the feel-good days of 1938. It's time to let our real feelings out! It's time to hug the Nazi, Austria! Finally!

Already under fire for failing to catch a series of deadly defects – including the flawed General Motors ignition switch blamed for over 100 deaths – federal regulators may have missed yet another fatal flaw.
This one involves a potentially defective hitch used on as many as 6,000 semi-trucks plying U.S. highways. Produced by an Alabama supplier, the part has been linked to a case involving a runaway trailer that killed two people on a snowy highway in Batavia, Ohio early last year.
Though the manufacturer had issued several service bulletins, and users had filed several complaints – at least one involving a crash – the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration declined to open a formal investigation until last month.

This is a perfect location in Siena, right off the piazza! The building is charming, and the couple shared details of its history in their family. We really enjoyed our stay and it was a perfect base for exploring Siena! Apparently Rick Steve's has stayed there (pic with the owners), so we felt like savvy travelers for a minute! :)
Very kind host!! And very quiet considering how close it is to the famously beautiful piazza del campo. When I was there in early June, people were still partying in the campo at 2-3am but my room was perfectly quiet just a 3 minute walk away from the piazza.
Excellent accueil de Daniela et de son mari. Explications pratiques très claires, précises et détaillées. Toujours prête à résoudre les petits problèmes que nous avons rencontrés. Un bon souvenir de Sienne.
We enjoyed our stay in Siena and the space was lovely and perfectly located, just next to the main piazza. Daniela was a lovely host and very helpful, she was friendly and answered all of our questions. We loved the historical aspect of the building (despite the few flights of stairs!) and they kindly provided the history of the house. I'd would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to stay in Siena!
Daniela was so helpful and welcoming from the moment we met. She laid out maps how to get around Siena, and suggested two great places to eat that I went to multiple times. One for Gelato, and one for amazing food. Both right down the street.
The room is very spacious with good light and an amazing view of Siena's rooftops and the Tuscan countryside in the distance. Siena really is a great place, and Daniela's place is definitely a place I would stay at again! Thanks Daniela!:)
You are the perfect host, Charming and full care. The Apartment is most lovely with all the fresh flowers , Nice vieuw on the piaza and rooms that feel like Home. And everything you wish as wine, fruit and sweets. Perfect. We did enjoyed the stay. Thanks !!!
The room is clean and perfectly located in the heart of Siena! The hosts are very helpful and friendly. They came over every day to clean the room and made sure everything is well for me. 100% recommendation!

For youTo my mother...
The first blow was landed to her skull...
To my father...
He turned to see his gray eyes questioning the scene before him. The instant roar of anger of questions did not distract him from his goal. He advanced, watching the man of grey eyes back
away in fear.
It's your son...
"What are you doing?"
He refused to answer as he raised his hand with the statue clutched benieth blood soaked fingers. The sticky crimson that clung to the skin felt well placed.
Or it's your daughter...
She suggested this. One of the ladies did; her advisor. He didn't want to say the slaughtered woman's name, he despised her his whole life even though she brought him into this world...and he wished she didn't. Not into this hellish realm of servitude. He wanted power; seeing her bleed upon the stone floor gave him that power.
He had killed the wrenched angel. The only damned thing he gave a damn about...not his own grandson, oh no.
He'd make him pay attention tonight.
Crimson Era
It took years for this saga to unfold. In this time of age, the great one has passed; her bones and her followers have long sense faded away into the wind. However, this story, child, is one of how our world is now...and even now, seven millenniums after her great war, there is no lie that the world still cries out her presences. However, our story does not begin at the source of the death of the great one but at the death of one significant yet insignificant.
Rain pelted across the window as the warmth that once belonged inside was torn. The window, or what was left of it, was the after math of a scene all too unfortunately met by mortals. A child, a girl, alone yet very not. My colleagues agreed with me when I reported that night of what I had found. I worked for the Council, I was part of it but I never went to the meetings; someone was always dying and I was needed. Nothing prepared me for this.
Her body had not been mangled by the train as I suspected it would've been. The girl's
Wolf on Freeway 7Alvin knew he could feel his weight start to shift under him as he placed the paper down in shock. They weren't crossed out like Leena's name so they were still alive. They had their names and address, worse yet, they knew that they were his parents; they even wrote in 'new mut' near the names of his parents.
"Come on lets get out of here before they get back." Caleb softly whispered as he began to tug on his arm.
"Too late." Drake hissed as he peeked out the window, "They just pulled in."
Alvin ran by his side and peeked over his shoulder. Damn he was right, a black escalade had just pulled out and out of it came a woman and three men. He had no question whom the woman was but the other three...No clue to who they were.
"Great shes got some of her cronies..."
Alvin nodded as he watched them examine the door and see it had been broken into with force. Shit they were defiantly onto them. "Come on we gotta get out!" He looked around, knowing it was pointless to go out the door, they'd be
Wolf on Freeway 6Calvin and Kyle were the ones in charge of the disposing of Leena's head and body. Since burying her might lead to suspicions. While the entire woman group took some of Leena's things and laid them beside her body and head, it was an ominous feeling to Alvin to see this all over again. It was obvious by Laura's face this was really hard for her. Katy looked rather disappointed and as for Kristy, Alvin could see she was regretting what she said to her late friend now. Caleb, Drake, and James all had built a pallet as Kyle and Calvin went to find materials for the cremation.
When the boys had finished their work for the pallet, Kyle, Drake, Caleb and James all picked up the handmade stretcher with Leena on it. Calvin was the one to lead everyone out of the manor, a head of ceremonies type being now. Alvin could only watch feeling upset slightly but he barely knew Leena. Didn't say he was cold hearted about her death, god no, he just didn't know her well enough to feel very emotional abo

Application August 17, 3 Claims.
This invention relates to combination floor washers anddriers and more particularly to power actuated devices of this class.
One object of this invention is to provide a new and improved device of the class described. .Another object. is to provide a device which is readily convertible from a floor washer into a floor drier and vice versa. A further object is to provide a device of this class which is power actuated. Another object is to provide an electrically driven floor washer and drier. Yet a further object is to provide a device of this ldnd which is .readily assembled and taken apart. Other objects and advantages of this invention will appear in the following description when considered in connection with the accompanying drawings.
. In the drawings Fig. l'is a plan view of an apparatus incorporating features of this invention. -Fig. 2 is a side elevation taker: on the line 2+-2 in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a transverse longitudinal cross section through the apparatus taken on the irregular line 3-3 in Fig. 1'. transverse cross section of the agitator taken on the line 4-4 in Fig. 3. Fig. 5 is a horizontal transverse cross section taken on the line 5-5 in Fig. 3 Fig. 6 is a detail section on the line 66 of Fig. 3. Fig. 'l is' a detail section taken on the line 'I| of Fig. 2. Fig. 8 is a detail section taken on the lines 8-8 in Figs. 2 and 7, and Fig. 9 is a fragmentary view in side elevation illustrating the I split. bearing. The device contemplated by this invention includes a housing provided with means for manually moving the device from place to place, and power actuated means for driving an endless fab.
ric belt through a body of liquid and through a means for adjustably varying the degree of .dry-' ness of the fabric after it leaves the body of liquid. The device also includes means for allowing the fabric to engage a floor surface so thatit may either wash or dry the floor surface.
The device comprises a housing ll) which has an over-all longitudinal configuration like a trapezoid. This housing comprises the lower portion ll having an open top and a removable top portion l2 which is adapted to be secured to the lower portion by means of a plurality 'of fastening devices I3, l4, l5, It. At the rear ll of the housing is provided means for moving the prises rollers ,l1 and I8 which are rotatably secured on the brackets 19 and 20 by the axles 2| and 22. The brackets may be secured to the housing by the fastening means 23 and 24 or they 55 may be made an integral part of the housing if Fig. 4 is a vertical.
device fromplace to place. This means com-- 1937, Serial No. 159,557
such construction is adapted to production methods. For the purpose of cooperating with these rollers and manually moving the device about, a. handle 25 having a bifurcated end, provided with arms 26 and 21, is pivotally secured to the side.of 5 the housing as at 28 in Fig. 2. This pivot point can be shifted to some other position depending upon the exigencies of construction.
The portion ll of the housing It) includes a bottom 3|, a front wall 32, a rear wall 4| and a pair of side walls 33". The lower portions of the front and rear Walls are inset with respect to the lower corner portions of the side walls, as at 33 to form outwardly opening. recesses 38, 39. The upper parts of the walls 32, 4| are formed with openings 64, 42 constituting an outlet and an intake respectively.
The cleaning and drying operations are accomplished by means of an endless conveyor or belt 29 preferably made of an appropriate woven fabric material. The belt 29 includes a forwardly travelling upper run 29 which passes through the portion l l of housing ill, a downwardly travelling leading run 29 arranged on the outer faceof wall 32, a rearwardly travelling bottom run 30 and an upwardly travelling follower run 49 arranged on the outer face of wall 4|. The belt 29 has a floor engaging portion 39 which travels along the lower face of the bottom 3i of the housing and which is provided by the lower run of the belt. The 30 upper run 29 of the belt enters the housing through the intake 42 and passes from the housing through the outlet 64. The leading run 29 of the belt travels downwardly from outlet 64 and around roller 34. i The follower run 490i the belt ,35 travels upwardly around roller to the intake 42. The rollers 34, 35 are arranged in the recesses 38, 39 respectively and are carried by shafts 36, 31 respectivelymounted on the lower corners of the side walls 33*. The belt after entering the hous-" 40 ing is engaged by the inter-engaging paddle wheels 43 and 44, the former being supported in the lower part of the housing by a shaft 45 and the latter being supported in the upper part by a shaft 46. Thesetwo interlocking paddle wheels form the 45 power .drive for the fabric belt and pull the belt through and about the floor washer. Each wheel comprises a pluralityof radially extending interengaging paddles 41 and 48 respectively. The interengaging of these paddles firmly grips the 50 fabric as at the point 59.
The endless belt has an angularly downwardly extending stretch 5|, extending between the power paddles 43 and 44 and passing at its lowermost point 52 about the agitator paddle 53, and 55 stretch 54 passing around the upper roller-55. The lower portions of these two angularly extending stretches of the fabric belt extend through a body of liquid 55 which latter is the liquid used for washing .and cleaning the floors or other surfaces being treated. When it is desired to drain this body of liquid from the housing it is accomplished by opening the drain plug 51 in the lower .right hand part of the housing asseen in Fig. 3.
The agitator 53 is rotatably mounted upon a central shaft or axle58 which latter is slidably secured in appropriate bearing portions carried by the side walls of the housing I I and 59. The agitator itself is composed of a plurality of radially extending blades 60, GI, 82 and 53 which are oppositely tapered as in Figs. 4 and 5. The spoke portions 80 and 62 in Fig. 4 tapering from left to right and the blades BI and 83 tapering from right to left. It will be readily appreciated that the fabric belt inpassing about this agitator member.
will be receiving beating action at the opposite sides so that dirt removed from the surface being v cleaned will be permanently liberated from the fabric and will be released into the body of liquid.
It will now be appreciated that when it is desired to wash a floor surface that the fabric endless belt will be driven by the power paddles 43 and 44 and will pass through the body of liquid being thoroughly treated and will then pass around the power driven roller 55 out of the front opening 64 of the forward housing wall 55 and will pass down-around the roller 34 cleaning the floor surface and then around the roller 35 back into the a end against the bearing member II and at the opposite end against the collar 13 which is secured to the shaft by a set screw 14. A similar arrangement is also on the inside of the opposite wall of the housing audit will be readily understood that by setting'the collar at different points the slack in the belt is yieldably taken up.-
When it. is desired to use the device as a drier thedrying roller I5 is adjusted by the adjusting screw 18 sothat it squeezes the endless belt 28 between the two rollers 55 and 15. In this manper the liquid is squeezed out of thefabric belt so that the stretch ofv belt coming in contact with the surface being treated is suiliciently dry so that it will readily absorb liquids on the floor surface.

portion of the abutment 80 in the housing member I2. It will be understood that if it is desired to replace the fabric belt that when the top I2 of the housing is removed that the rollers 48 and I5 will be removed with it. All that remains necessary is to remove the shaft 58 so that the agitator paddle may be .removed and to disconnect the split bearings, holding the shaft 61 so that the roller 86 may be removed. The fabric is then easily removed from the device.

then it has anangularly upwardly extending The power drive for the apparatus is obtained by mounting a motor 8I on the top member of the housing and providing the motorwlth a worm wheel 82 which is keyed at 83 on the motor shaft 84. The'worm wheel on the motor shaft engages the worm 85 which latter drives the shaft 86. The shaft 06 is supported on the side of the housing by the bearing members 81, 88, 89 and 80. The worm wheels 9| and 92 are respectively se-. cured at the opposite ends of shaft 86. The worm wheel 02 drives the shaft 45 by means of the worm gear which is secured to the'shaft 45 and which meshes with the worm gear 92.

A segment of a pinion I03 is pivoted at I04 with its teeth meshing with the rack on the shaft I0 I. All of these parts are secured upon a plate I05 which in turn is secured to the housing. The opposite end of the segment pinion is provided with a lever arm I 08 at the outer end of the latter, and adjustable locking means is provided so that the casters may be raised and lowered in the proper position. The locking .means comprises a plurality of holes I01 bored into the plate I05 and a yieldable pin I08 which is arranged to engage in the various holes. Each pin contains a kpurled operating handle I09 and has a collar secured at an inner portion of the stem III with a spring II2 positioned between the collar and the arm I 08 so that the pin is normally urged into the hole.

Sweater looks—fleece feel.
You want the heat-trapping power of fleece, but you don't want to look like a fuzzy bunny. The Men's Patagonia 1/4-Zip Better Sweater has a sweater-knit exterior for a clean, sharp look and a fleecy, heat-holding interior. It is warm enough to wear as a jacket in cool weather, or (when things get really chilly) wear it under a shell as an insulating mid-layer. Raglan sleeves lend to the athletic aesthetic and keep you comfortable if you're slinging a pack.

Do you know when classic navy, size medium will be in stock again? Thanks
Fitting is way off-not 4 short & stocky
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: Runs large
Height: 5' 9"Weight: 215 lbsSize Purchased: XL
I'm 5'9" ~215 and wear a 46 Reg., 17.5" neck, 32/33 dress shirt and am a bit bummed with the fit. I bought two of these, the first being an XL, which fits great in the chest and shoulders. The sleeves and overall length, however, are too long. I can roll the sleeves back a good 3", the length is about 2" too long for my taste. It's also kind of baggy(not terrible, just a little sloppier than I'd prefer) in the midsection.
I reordered a Large thinking that I could get away with it but it's way too tight for my beastly chest. Sleeves and overall length seemed a bit better but I couldn't get past how tight it was in the chest.
I had a 20% off coupon and Backcountry gave me free shipping both ways on the large, and at least one way on the xl so I feel compelled to keep one of them because Backcountry has been pretty awesome over the years. And I do like the sweater. The material is great, it's warm, extremely soft, and despite the sizing issues, looks decent. And I dig the grey stonewashed look. I'm going to explore getting the sleeves tailored.
This is my third piece of gear from Patagonia(have a nylon windbreaker thing and a Powder Bowl ski jacket) and they all disappoint in the fit so I guess that's my bad for continuing to buy their stuff. I would think that this would be a great fitting sweater for someone built like Gronk but it's definitely not for me.

Height: 6' 2"Weight: 180 lbsSize Purchased: Large
We gave this to our brother for his birthday. Insta-hit! The fit is perfect, and he loves it. He's a complete Type A doctor, so if he likes something, it's no doubt pretty damned nice. We also gave a women's large Better Sweater to our 96-year-old father--he wears it everyday because everyday he's cold and it's the only thing that keeps him warm. The best part of that deal is that he doesn't know it's a women's size. The fit is perfect too. Kudos to Patagonia for another awesome piece of gear.

Ummm, softest sweater on the planet? Possibly. I gifted this to my cousin Danny that lives in California for those cold, overcast Cali winter days. He basically just keeps saying "Love it, love it!". I've only ever purchased down jackets and sweaters by Patagonia and have always been satisfied, this sweater is no different. Cousin reports that it's super soft and comfy, and hey, it looks great on him. I assume that he'll wear it to many of his daughter's spring/fall soccer games to stay warm. Heck, I bet he'll even get some double takes as the other soccer dads gaze down sadly at their own sweaters as they realize that Danny's sweater is indeed better.
He's 6'0"185 lbs and a large fits perfectly.
I am about 5'10" and 150 pounds. My suit size is a 38, and waist is a 30. I usually wear a medium in most brands. Since this is a relaxed fit, should I go with a small or medium?
Just for reference, the Arc'teryx Atom LT hoody in medium fits me perfectly. When wearing that, I have room for a more closely fitted sweater (not a baggy sweatshirt).
Grant Kates
Hey ks1911shoo428375,
Those are almost my exact dimensions. My waist is 32. I opt for medium in Patagonia and would suggest the same for you. It will give you enough room to layer underneath and it will not be so baggy tht you can also put a layer on top and be comfortable without a bulky feel.

Comfy, classy, extremely warm. I live in Chicago and this shirt helped me survive the Polar Vortex. I have to wait for the train every morning, even on the -18 degree work days. I wore this shirt over my dress shirt nearly work day and it worked marvelously. It's held up pretty well too considering I wore it 5x a week for 3 months of Polar Vortex cold. I've wore this shirt over my dress shirt, without a jacket, and I was warm even in 20 degree weather. I mean, just to put gas in the car, I wouldn't go sledding or shovel snow with it w/o a jacket. Great shirt though. In fact, this site asked me to review this shirt and I realized I'm actually wearing it now!

This is one of my favorite pieces from Patagonia. I currently own two of them, orange and grey, and I am always tempted to buy more! They are uber warm, soft, and comfortable. Not to mention how great they look! It's no wonder other brands such as merrel and eddie bauer have been trying to copy it.

I'm 5'8" and about 155lbs. Just want to know what size would be the best fit for me.
Terran Siladi
Small would be best for you. This piece is cut in a more relaxed manner then some other patagonia items and I think you would be dealing with lots of extra fabric on anything bigger then the small.

Great Durable Sweater
- Gender: Male
I'm 5'10", 175lbs, athletic build, and ordered a medium. The length is perfect, fits in the arms well, and it slightly wide for my liking in the body. I wish it was tapered more in the body but this is understood considering it's an everyday sweater that comfortably fits over t-shirt/shirts/layers. The better sweater is fairly warm and I am comfortable wearing it as my warmest layer in ~35 degree weather. The best part about the better sweater is its versatility, I wear it very frequently in multiple settings.
Great product
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
I've owned this for over 3 years and have worn it A LOT. It's warm, comfortable, stylish, and can take a lot of wear and tear. Lately I've been wearing it in work settings and have been pleasantly surprised at how professional it looks. From my experience with this I've recently decided to buy a the dark grey version of the full zip and will replace my quarter zip when the time comes.

Strictly Personal
|Strictly Personal
|Studio album by Captain Beefheart and his Magic Band

|Sunset Sound, Hollywood, California,
April 25 - May 2, 1968
|Psychedelic rock, blues rock
|Blue Thumb
|Bob Krasnow
|Captain Beefheart and his Magic Band chronology
Strictly Personal is the second album by Captain Beefheart and his Magic Band. It was originally released in October 1968, almost a year after the band had initially taken to the studio to record the follow-up to 1967's Safe as Milk. The finished album has been the subject of controversy owing to producer Bob Krasnow's addition of phasing to many of the tracks, which Beefheart initially supported, but subsequently claimed was done without his knowledge or approval.
The original intention was to record an album for Buddah Records entitled It Comes to You in a Plain Brown Wrapper (Strictly Personal's sleeve design is a relic of this initial concept).[1] A considerable amount of material was recorded for the project during the period of October–November 1967 with Bob Krasnow producing. Owing to reservations on the part of Buddah, however, the album was not released.[2] Instead, Strictly Personal was issued on Krasnow's own Blue Thumb label the following year. It features re-recorded versions of songs from the 1967 sessions, with psychedelic effects added by Krasnow. Beefheart always professed that he hated the effects, claiming they had been added without his knowledge, though it is likely he was in fact aware of Krasnow's action and approved of them at the time. However, the album's fate may have had a strong effect on his insistence on a dry, unaffected sound on later recordings.
The material from the earlier sessions would later be released, along with an earlier version of "Kandy Korn", as Mirror Man (1971). Much other material from the 1967 sessions has since been released; the compilation I May Be Hungry But I Sure Ain't Weird (1992) contained eleven of the original cuts taken from master tapes. This album has long since been out of print, but all eleven tracks can be found spread across The Mirror Man Sessions and the current version of Safe as Milk. Some of these tracks were also used for a vinyl-only release by the Sundazed label in 2008 bearing the original intended title of It Comes to You in a Plain Brown Wrapper, but this release does not duplicate the original album concept or sequence.

|Review scores
|Rolling Stone
|(positive) [3]
Barret Hansen, in a December 1968 review for Rolling Stone, was unsure of the value of the record; he felt that Beefheart and his band had "the capability of making the ultimate white blues album", but that the "noisy, discom-bobulated freakout shit" and "liquid audio" spoil the potential, so that it was unclear to him if the album was the work of "the world's greatest white bluesman", "a competent musician, capable of occasional titanic moments", or "a hack performer" with genius production.[4]
Stewart Mason, in a retrospective Allmusic review, felt it was a terrific album but underrated due to the reputation of Bob Krasnow's remixing; although he did feel that the "sound effects and phasing do detract from the album at points".[5]

The Cubs have so much invested in the idea of Anthony Rizzo.
It's not just the $41 million guarantee. It drills down to the credibility of Theo Epstein's front office. It shines a light on the franchise's financial handcuffs, because someone had to be The Man right away and hit in the middle of the order. Maybe that's why Jose Abreu's fast start struck such a nerve on Twitter and with Cubs fans.
"I tip my cap to the White Sox for making a good investment," Cubs general manager Jed Hoyer said. "That's great for them. He should be a guy in Chicago that people have fun watching for a long time."
Whether or not Rizzo will ultimately be the other first baseman in town – or a leader for a contending team on the North Side – he delivered in Thursday's 12-5 victory over the White Sox at U.S. Cellular Field. On a night where the city finally warmed up to 83 degrees, Rizzo blasted a two-run homer over the center-field wall that traveled 407 feet, helping his team avoid the crosstown sweep in front of 26,332.
[MORE: Rizzo homers as Cubs offense explodes in win over Sox]
Remember Rizzo's the guy who was supposed to be part of The Core at Fenway Park, and then replace Adrian Gonzalez, and then got all the comparisons to Andrew Cashner.
"It's just always going to be something," Rizzo said.
Rizzo shrugged, but he hadn't paid attention to any of the Abreu talk or the Cubs (12-21) vs. White Sox (18-18) rebuilding debates. That's not how he rolls.
Sports Illustrated splashed Abreu's image on a regional cover and the No. 79 jerseys are moving fast. The White Sox won the kind of bidding war the Cubs have lost for prized international free agents like Yoenis Cespedes, Hyun-Jin Ryu and Masahiro Tanaka. It took the biggest deal in franchise history – six years and $68 million – to bring the Cuban first baseman to the South Side.
"They gave him a very good contract," Hoyer said. "He's performed – I don't know what their expectations were – but certainly at or above their expectations. He looks like a really good slugger."
[RELATED: White Sox roughed up by Cubs in Crosstown Cup finale]
Hoyer worked for the Boston Red Sox when they drafted Rizzo and made sure to include the young first baseman when he traded Gonzalez from the San Diego Padres. The other Rizzo trade will look different if Cashner stays healthy, throws 200-plus innings and gets in the Cy Young conversation.
But after a down season and the Dale Sveum firing, the Cubs feel better about Rizzo, who at the age of 24 is hitting .294 with seven homers, 18 RBI and a .926 OPS.
"We have Anthony Rizzo," Hoyer said. "We committed money (to a player) we feel really good about, someone who is demonstrating why we feel (that way). In our situation, in the National League with a young, left-handed-hitting first baseman, (Abreu) wasn't a player we were interested in. Had there been a player with his profile that played outfield or maybe played a different position, we would have been involved as well."

Castle of ChaosRead MoreInside most haunted attractions, guests are de facto spectators—willing victims for ghouls and monsters with no ability to fight back. No longer: Castle of Chaos topples that convention with a 5D, interactive experience in which you can strap into your seat, pick up an evil-obliterating weapon, and take aim at a flurry of monsters and undead antagonists. The drama plays out in a movie-theatre style space that immerses intrepid fighters amidst novel graphics and heart-pounding 3D visual effects. The game's top marksmen are displayed on the screen so everyone knows who would be the most valuable companion in the event of a zombie apocalypse or Furby uprising.3030 West 76 Country Blvd.Branson, MO US
