Forgotten Space - Grateful Dead Tribute
Dallas, TX
Forgotten Space's lead guitarist, Kenny Withrow, is best known as a founding and current member of "Edie Brickell and the New Bohemians". Kenny's style and impeccable taste lend themselves very well to the music of the Grateful Dead. In between touring and recording with Edie, Kenny also produces, records, and plays with Rod Russel Ides, Kenny Withrow and Friends, and several other national and regional acts. Kenny recently served as musical director for the Undermain Theatre's adaptation of Neil Young's "Greendale". Bassist/Vocalist Bob McConville worked the Northeast club circuit with the Electric Pheasants and Christine and the Razors before returning to his birthplace, Deep Ellum, to join Cross-Eyed Boogie, the Dead Beats, Woody Butts, Smokin' Volcanos, and Minglewood, as well as taking over the bass playing slot in Club Dada's weekly event, "The Dead Thing", in 1993. He also joined Kenny as a member of Rod Russell-Ides and Rainmaker. Forgotten Space has the rare luxury of two outstanding bass players. Noted Texas bass man Will Hodges slid over to the keyboards for this project and also handles a good share of the lead and harmony vocals. Will helped found, and played bass for, "Mellowship" and "Whitebread Picnic" prior to the birth of his second child. After a brief sabbatical, he has re-joined both of those bands as the keyboardist. Over the years, Will has shared the Bass duties with Bob in the Dead Thing, Lost Sailor, and Kenny Withrow and Friends, in addition to his many other musical endeavors. Staying true to the instrumentation of the Grateful Dead, the band employs two full time drummers, Jerry Saracini and Bryant "Pablo" Russell. Jerry has performed and/or recorded with the likes of Phil Lesh (Grateful Dead, Phil & Friends), several alumni of Steely Dan (Dean Parks, Chuck Rainey, Denny Dias, Elliott Randall, Bernard Purdie, Jim Keltner, Sherlie Matthews, Clydie King, and Lou Marini) and many other nationally recognized musicians and artists. Outside of Forgotten Space, Jerry also performs regularly with Naked Lunch (A Steely Dan Tribute), Hunter Hendrickson, and The Project. Bryant "Pablo" Russell is a classically trained guitar player, studying with Andre Segovia's protege and Dallas native Robert Guthrie. Although graduating with a bachelor's degree in classical guitar performance in 1993, Pablo devoted the majority of time (while still picking up classical gigs) to playing drums. Since moving to the Dallas/Ft. Worth area in 1997, Pablo has been the starting drummer in original and tribute acts including Mellowship, The Allmost Brothers Band, the "Ticket Time-Wasters" (for the DFW sports-radio station 1310AM "The Ticket"), as well as doing regular substitute work for The Heat, The Masons, and Birdog among others. Rhythm Guitarist/Vocalist Scott Prosser rediscovered his love for playing Grateful Dead music after a 12 year hiatus. After joining Bob with "Cross-Eyed Boogey" in the early 90's, Scott was a founding member of the "Dead Beats". He also spent time with "W.A.L.S.T.I.B" and "The Dead Thing" before moving on to other interests (including the popular acoustic rock/blues band "Crossroads"). While never really out of the Texas Dead scene, his full time return was long overdue. Whether you are a fan of the Grateful Dead or not, you will appreciate and thoroughly enjoy this band.

Spoonfed Tribe
Dallas, TX
The story starts, properly, four years ago in the summer of 1899..... A multi-dimensional movement of artists, gathered together and created a controversial mass human experiment, innocently interwoven within unique audio/visual experiences. The movement, later to become known as "Spoonfed Tribe" , coined this experiment, The Mood Manipulation - Behavior Modification Program. Conducting a series of unfair hearing tests on willing participants from street corners, theatres, and festivals all across the country, the movement had successfully completed four independent audio programs by 2005.

The Scott McCurry Band
Dallas, Texas
When trying to sift through the many genres that make up the Music Biosphere, if not careful, one can easily be swallowed by the droves of bands trying to pass off there their harmony-laden, verse-chorus-verse songs, for true "Rock and Roll". Luckily for the skeptics seeking more than just run-of-the-mill power pop, The Scott McCurry Band has arrived. Perhaps it is unfair to use the phrase "Just Arrived", considering the Scott McCurry Band is putting the final touches on their third, full length LP, and have been bringing their raucous, energy-filled live performances to beer-swilling audiences across the country, for the past six years. Scott has already played over 500 venues across the states from underground clubs in Dallas to the celebrity-studded Sundance Film Festival in Utah where Scott had a song in the movie Walking with Freedom and performed at Sundance. The track's "All Over The Road" & "Saturday" were also featured in the HBO movie "Appalachian Trail". Not to mention, Americas Best Independent Artists, an organization that promotes promising artists CDs, selected Scott as one of the best Artists in 2005.The Scott McCurry Band, isn't so much a band, but a collective of extremely talented, genre-bending musicians, lead by their fearless leader, Scott McCurry. The Koozies was Scotts first band experience and he quickly proved to new audiences that he could not only write smart, quirky lyrics and catchy tunes, but also perform on-stage. The bands first release, seeing through bleu ink, helped jettison Scott firmly into the college rock scene. Scott's second album "Like the Sun", is just that; sunny and upbeat, filled with songs youre happy to let bounce around in your head all day. Songs like Oh no with the addicting guitar and harmonica melody echo sounds of Bob Dylan, while other tracks like Dr. Doctor pump out a fusion of method that can rival even today's most progressive artists. In terms of musical evolution, the path this band has embarked would garner approval from musical purists as well as Mr. Darwin himself. All this evident by the presence of legendary, and veteran music producer, Elliot Mazer. After 30 years of having worked with the likes of Neil Young, Pete Townshend, and Janis Joplin, Mazer has decided to put his golden, or more appropriately, platinum touch, to the band's latest studio effort. While according to Mazer, the phrase "Birdies Don't Bark" is an arguable statement, there is absolutely no argument when it comes to the quality of "Birdies Don't Bark" as an album. While at times, one can get lost in trance-inducing melodies, reminiscent of bands such as The Animals, or say the Troggs, at the drop of hat can be transformed into the beautiful alternative instrumentation that makes bands such as Wilco and Sonic Youth so electrifying and important.
Erin & The Project
Featuring the dyadic cyclone that is Erin Ezekiel (vocals/keys), and Paul Ezekiel (drums/percussion), Erin & The Project creates a hypnotic soul-ternative sound, fulfilling a genre all its own, with their sound being described as refreshing, inspiring, and soulful by listeners worldwide. They compile lyrics that peer into positive consciousness, while integrating soulful vocals, melodic piano, and strong rhythms throughout. After great success with the release of their debut, self-titled album, they caught the attention of Grammy award winning engineer/mixer, Oz Fritz, who produced their most recent album release, "Birthday". Over the past two years, this couple has performed around the US at a multitude of clubs, restaurants, cafes, wineries, and private events with great success and consistent growth in exposure as well as their own music and performance development. Erin spent 3 years studying North Indian classical vocals with the great Maestro Ali Akbar Khan. She has also performed with Mickey Thomas of Jefferson Starship, and won best new pop/rock artist for USA4real.coms best pop/rock new artist in 2009 before placing in the top 5 in the January 2010 SingerUniverse competition. Be sure to catch them next time they are in your town!
The Moai Broadcast
Tulsa, OK
The Moai Broadcast formed in the fall of 2008 by drummer/producer Nick Bernson and keyboardist Jordan Holt with the idea of achieving the highest level of expression through its most simplistic forms. Holts previous band, Tech Tonic, served as a catalyst to form a band with friend Bernson, who has worked with a wide range of artists through his recording studio, The Cheese Factory. Though working together on projects in the past, the season had only arrived in which Bernson and Holt would realize a shared vision and harvest the full creative energy of what would become The Moai Broadcast. After a brief quest to find others with a similar musical vision, guitarist Cody Brewer brought to the group a unique tapestry of ambient, soulful guitar work which evokes a sense of timelessness, beckoning the listener to speculate if it is something from the year 1969, 2009 or beyond. Bassist Nick Abbott brings a cohesiveness and drive to the band with his precision on the low end, channeling a funky flair coming straight from the Mothership. Final member, Josh Coffman joined the group May of 2009 and brings more than just one dynamic to the band. Coffmans sax will tingle your insides, caress your soul, and cause unintended movement of your feet. But thats not all, Coffmans vocals will wrap you up in a delicate cocoon and metamorph your thoughts into complete tranquility. The sounds of The Moai Broadcast are conceived through the union of organic and synthetic instrumentation and the complete abandonment of any preconceptions of what musical expression is to be.

Graham Wilkinson
Graham Edward Wilkinson was born in 1980 in the small East Texas town of Denison to a Methodist minister father and a speech pathologist mother. He spent his early years moving from one small town to the next and picked up the guitar at age 16, in an effort to mend his first broken heart. Graham finished high school in Wichita Falls, TX and attended Hendrix College, in pursuit of a fine arts and music degree. He decided to take a needed break before graduation and traveled to the Greek islands of Mykonos and Paros located in the Agean Sea where he worked at a diesel jet-engine power plant, mingled among the locals and played his music in the streets. After gaining the life experiences desired, he completed his degree in 2002. He then set out upon another quest and traveled half way around the world to the Micronesian island of Pohnpel, where he volunteered as an English teacher in the local Jesuit school. While overseas, his older brother and best friend Aaron Robert Wilkinson passed away in New York City. By far, his brothers death was the most difficult thing his family and he have faced. His brothers influence is easily identified in many of Graham songs . You see, Aaron was singing and writing in lower east side coffee shops, on the cusp of the Anti-folk scene. Hanging out with the soon to be recognized Regina Spektor, Kimya Dawson, Adam Green from the Moldy Peaches and the guys from The Strokes.

Frogs Gone Fishin'
Denver, CO
At a Frogs Gone Fishin' show, fans are treated to heavy-hitting rock with the Frog's signature improvisational twist. In an age of auto-tuned vocals and laptop superstars, it's great to find a band who relies on harmonies, strong melody, and dynamic rhythms to keep their fans coming back. On any given night, the Frogs cut across genres and material from their two albums and never, ever, play the same set-list twice. This diversity in song choice and explosive improvisational energy has earned the band enthusiastic and devoted fans from places as far apart as Denver and New Orleans, Chicago and Austin, New York and San Francisco. In 2009, Frogs Gone Fishin' signed with Colorado-based Mountain Size Records and went into the studio to record Actual Natural, produced and engineered by Brad Smalling.

Holding Space
San Marcos
Holding Space is a psychedelic jam-band incorporating numerous genres of music, forged from the desire to create music that is spontaneous and free flowing. The music travels from cosmic spacey jams to high energy epic breakthroughs provoking intense musically healing experiences. Since forming in late November of 2009 Holding Space has evolved from playing their first show on the beach with a PVC stage with painters plastic wrapped around it and wooden pallets to stand on, to being selected for the Wakarusa Music Festival in 2011. People generally have a hard time describing a Holding Space experience due to the boundary pushing genre defying style of the music. Their ability to create intense psychedelic spaces, that are establishing new musical platforms, is being compared to the likes of Pink Floyd's transformation of the music scene in the 70's. The music ranges from hard tribal rhythms to chill airy spaces to bassy trance dance rhythms to completely OFF THE WALL haywire psychedelia. Holding Space is known for filling as much possible space with sound, and each member together strives to overload your senses each show. Holding Space is touring extensively this summer throughout OK, KS, MO, IA,IL,TN,AZ,ID,OR,CA,CO. This summer will be one for the record books for Holding Space as they embark on their first out of state tour. With their powerful and innovative style their sound is sure to capture the nation, and continue to evolve with the conscious intentions that are put into the music on the daily.
Dallas, TX
Spivey is comprised of two friends who met up after years of living across Texas from each other and decided to start making original music with influences ranging from all over. Dirt roads, electric exxxctacy, lonely cowboy songs, psychedelic rock, Buck Rogers space folk and big fat beats are a few of the ingredients that make up their sound.
Greg Reichel
Somewhere, someone has heard the given lyrics that strike emotional feeling, distraught, forgiven humor and jealousy that are wrapped up in egotistical conversation that Greg Reichel has distinguished into songs or lyrical meaning. That is what you will gather from this walking, talking, judgmental, happy, pleasing, true real Americana songwriter. Greg Reichel who has made his way from Oklahoma taking every back road, byway and GPS given highway to get to where he is at today, he is meant to come upon you strong not only with his songs, but with his capabilities of taking the crowd, sitting them in the palm of his hand and flipping them upside down with the intent that they know his name in the morning. The stage presence from Reichel engages in story telling of his past and previous happenings, sing-alongs, crowd participation encouraging their hands and feet to be used as percussion instruments and the whitty humor that keeps these intrigued listeners coming back for more. With live performances stacking up between the Midwest, its time for Reichel to see more action and determination than what he initially set out for. In the past sixteen years of Reichels life, he has been graced with more musical attention not only from his Father who has been active in the movement of music, but from local musicians and followed heroes. For the past seven of the sixteen years, he has had opportunity to write amongst, perform with or just open for some talented, heavy traveled and well known artists. All in all, I guess you can say, Gregs understanding of music is beyond average. Greg Reichel and his current residence are based outside of Dallas, TX, with soul covering many more miles than can be mentioned. Reichel released his debut album in June 2007 with some knowledgeable, meaningful and driven original songs which has gained him radio play in some of the largest markets throughout Texas and Oklahoma. With the help of the recordings produced by the talented locally and nationally known musician Travis Linville at his studio, deep in the back woods outside of Norman, Oklahoma which they call Dirty Bird Studios, and along with the mindful and generously placed instruments, the record came out as a success. Joining Reichel on his debut album, you will find Jeremy Watkins (Stoney Larue and the Arsenals) on Fiddle, Eric Hansen (Mike McClure Band) on Drums and Travis Linville on Slide Guitar, Lead Guitar, Bass Guitar and Mandolin. With the final production on the EP being pronounced as a completed process, the album was mastered by Joe Hardy in Houston, TX. The love, passion, bitterness, truthful, happy, foregoing, understanding of meaning hidden behind each song that Reichel has put a hand to, you will walk away with curiosity of whats next from this arisen singer/songwriter. Some recent press regarding Greg Reichel and talk about his profound talent. Dallas Observer Raised in Oklahoma and now a resident of Dallas, Greg Reichel is the best kind of alt-country songwriter, on who enjoys both, the old-school, rural soul of Townes Van Zandt and the snotty genius of Ryan Adams. Darryl Smyers , Dallas Observer KHYI 95.3 The Range Greg Reichel is one of my favorite Texas Songwriters with great talent, songs, substance and heart.- Brett Dillon, the Brett Dillon Experience, 95.3 the Range
Austin, TX
Topaz McGarrigle recently returned home to Austin TX to form his new band Mudphonic. " as gritty as the Texas landscape and funky as an Eastside BBQ joint. Mudphonic blends bottleneck blues guitar with fat saxophone riffs, scrappy vocals with distorted harmonica and lays it all on top of rock solid dance grooves." Born and raised in the Texas hill country, Topaz got his start as a young child playing saxophone on the streets of downtown Austin. The Texas blues and soul that he soaked up as a child remain a constant in his playing. His love of music solidified as a high school sophomore in London during the height of the acid-jazz scene. Topaz then moved to Washington D.C. where he attended The Duke Ellington School of the Arts for jazz, where he studied with numorous jazz legends, started his first band and began his recording career with Eric Hilton of Theivery Corporation. Topaz then moved to New York City where his musical identity began to take shape in the muscular twists and turns of his phrasing, cool, soulful feeling and grooving rhythmic energy. His band started evolving organically at weekly gigs in the hip downtown haunts of Manhattan. From the beginning, fans packed the clubs dancing and grooving to the fresh sounds. It was in New York that Topaz signed his first record deal and began touring nationally. Since then he has released two records with international distribution, composed award winning movie soundtracks, performed on BET and toured extensively across the United States. He has performed with the likes of Norah Jones, The Wailers, Widespread Panic and Robert Randolph. He has played all the major festivals such as Bonaroo, New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival and Austin City Limits Festival. Topaz has now returned to his hometown of Austin, residing on the banks of the Colorado river where he is delving into his hill country roots by bringing some blues singing and harmonica playing into the mix of high energy dance grooves. "superlative improvisational chops and one sly groove after another." - Austin Chronicle ....powerful, punchy funk with swampy overtones. Good stuff for dancing. Drinking bourbon. Eating barbecue. And dancing some more." - Telluride Daily Planet
Sol Tribe
San Antonio
Based in San Antonio, Sol Tribe creates a fusion of Reggae and World music blending a heavy drum and bass driven sound with melodic keyboards, conga, and guitar infused with rich vocal textures. The experienced musicians of Sol Tribe draw on spiritual and musical themes from the Caribbean, South America and other continents to give their songs a steady and percussive feel, while the lyrics of lead vocalist Anthony Berdecio lend an urban, street-smart element. In the syncopated rhythms of its first CD, Rising Sun, the music of Sol Tribe has a message for the heart and head. Recorded in Trinidad and Tobago, where group founder Ras I Jinga inspired band members to immerse themselves in the regional culture of the people and their music, the 12 tracks speak to how we love and how we live. Theres a unified quality among human beings, Berdecio says. Theres really a small difference in the way we live our lives. We have dreams and hopes, we suffer and celebrate. Its very much the same everywhere around the world. Its a matter of finding those things between us.

The Roomsounds
Bio: The Roomsounds are a Dallas, Texas based American rock & roll band. Their rootsy, back-to-basics approach evokes an era of 60s and 70s rock royalty. The band puts their freewheeling, youthful spin on timeless rock paved way by their tuneful forefathers like Tom Petty, The Beatles and The Stones. But its no accident that these twenty-somethings are wise beyond their years. Prior to moving to Dallas, three of four members played together in a New England based band, had recording contracts, and toured the U.S. several times over. Singer/songwriter Ryan Michael says of the move from the Northeast to Dallas, "The idea was to scrap all the bullshit wed been through over the years and start over, somewhere new, with no expectations. We just wanted to hide away and write the best songs we could." The newly formed, unnamed project relocated to Dallas, TX in 2009, where the band lived in a small rundown house in the suburbs. They made the garage their rehearsal space and turned the living room into a recording studio. "Anytime you record in a space thats not acoustically treated, you pick up a lot of "room sound." Thats sort of where the name came from. To us, its important to maintain an organic vibe, for better or worse, to sound like a real live rock -n- roll band," Michael adds. The band spent the next two years living together in rehearsal spaces, writing and demoing material, all the while performing constantly, forging a name for themselves as a must-see live act. Off the strength of their self-recorded demo of "Young & Reckless," the band received local radio airplay, made national music blogs favorites lists, and garnered numerous positive reviews for their live performances. The summer of 2011 was spent recording much of their album live in a cabin-turned-studio just outside of Dallas. The result is a raw and infectious eleven song debut LP that has been well received by fans and critics alike. Since its release the band has been nominated for the Dallas Observer Best Rock category as well as appeared on Lit Monthlys cover for best band of 2012. Their lead single "Couldnt Break My Spirit" has been in rotation on 91.7 KXT and The Edge 102.1.
Sam Holt Band
Born in Nashville, TN, Holt spent his youth surrounded by southern rock. The first bands Sam remembers liking were The Charlie Daniels Band and Elvis Presley. Once his mom brought home KISS Alive II, he knew music would be a major part of his life. Graduating from Middle Tennessee State University with a degree in recording engineering Sam went to work at Soundcheck in Nashville. In 2000, Holt became the guitar tech for Michael Houser of the wildly popular Athens,GA band Widespread Panic. Houser was impressed with Sams skills and told him should be playing his own music. Sadly, Houser passed away in August of 2002 after a courageous struggle with pancreatic cancer. Sam continued to tech for Widespread Panic, and made frequent onstage appearances playing lead guitar on the Summer 2006 tour. These shows were highly valued by Panics die-hard fan base. Armed with that experience and Mikes encouraging words, Sam started the Atlanta, GA based band Outformation with Lee Schwartz on drums and Grady Upchurch on bass. Outformation toured for five years and recorded three albums: Tennessee Before Daylight (2005), Travelers Rest (2007) and Fastburn (2009). In 2010, the members of Outformation went their separate ways. Holt moved to Colorado and became a part of the vibrant Colorado music scene forming The Sam Holt Band. Michael Spanky McCluer on bass, Adam Stern on pedal steel and guitar, and Andy Clapp on drums are adding fresh colors and textures to Holts catalog of material. Sam notes, Im so lucky to have hooked up with these guys. They are such burning players, and I totally trust them in any situation. Gaining momentum quickly, the Sam Holt Band has gathered a loyal following playing throughout Colorado. On the horizon in 2013 are an album and national tour. Weve got a lot of new material. Going in the studio to capture it is something Im really excited about, adds the down to earth Southerner.
Keegan McInroe
Keegan McInroe is a Texas based singer-songwriter, whose music is best described simply as Americana, as it is the American music tradition that he largely pulls from in his creating. Blending threads from old country, old blues, gospel, and rock & roll, Keegan weaves together an original tapestry of American roots music, earthy and lyric driven. From the Wall & In the City, his sophomore solo effort, was released in May 2010. It earned three nominations in the 2010 Fort Worth Music Awards: Americana/Roots Rock Artist of the Year, Songwriter of the Year, and Album of the Year. In the summer of 2009, The Fort Worth Weekly nominated Keegan's debut solo album, Mozelle, Album of the Year and Keegan Folk/Acoustic Artist of the Year. Mozelle was released in March 2009. In 2003, Keegan McInroe participated in founding rock & roll outfit, Catfish Whiskey (2003-2009), in Fort Worth, TX. Catfish Whiskey played extensively in Texas and Louisiana, as well as a good chunk of the American West. As a solo artist, McInroe has performed in London. McInroe has performed opening duties for Leon Russell, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Ian Moore, Eric McFadden, Otis Taylor, Randall Bramblett, and The Band of Heathens. He currently resides in Levelland, TX.
Scott Dean McCurry
Scott Dean McCurry is a Dallas singer-songwriter who has been paving his own path on the Texas Music Scene for nearly a decade. Influenced by a vast range of styles; Scott has continually pushed the envelope with his personal spin on contemporary rock n roll. In 2013, Scott decided to transform his fist-pumping sunshine rock into a unique version of Texas Country, exchanging funky-rhythms and synthesizers for pedal-steel and fiddle. Although he has embarked on a new genre, two things still remain consistent; his catchy upbeat melodies that get stuck in your head, and his raucous, energy-filled live performances. In the process, he opted to drop McCurry, as to not be confused with a recent American Idol winner with a strikingly similar name. Just recently, Scott put the finishing touches on his new EP, Re-Shuffle. Although it is his 5th studio album, it is his first Country release. The tunes are full of carefree energy that will make any youthful spirit want to crack open a cold-beer and start singing along. It was his intent to make each tune on the record uplifting and fun. Country tends to have the ability to make people either really happy or really sad, I wanted people to hear this music and wish they were out on a Saturday Night. Each song started as a rough idea written on a bar napkin with a couple of buddies, so I wanted that same essence to be captured in the studio Although Scott has primarily spent the majority of his career in a different music realm, he constantly found himself playing within the Texas Country Scene. Gigging festivals and clubs with Texas Country legends like Robert Earl Keen and the Old 97s, and current acts like Kevin Fowler and Josh Abbott. Channeling his love for old school country, like The Flying Burrito Brothers and Jerry Jeff Walker, Scott decided to go all in this year, and re-shuffle his music career; hence the album name. Making this kind of music is something Ive wanted to do for years. Living in Texas my entire life, I have always been exposed to it, and always had such an admiration for classic country and its ability to vividly bring stories to life.

The top ten Xbox 360 games ever released? Which do you think is the
best of the best?
This is my list anyways.
5. Halo 3
This game introduced me to the whole xbox world, it made me go get xbox live and discover a whole world of fun people. Even the fourteen years-old kids, some are actually fun. :)
I know the freakin' fanboys are waging wars out there, in the cold bitter world. And I can say that I wan't a fucking ps3! I wan't to have one, before God of War 3 hits the stores. Christ, need to get me one. But I still love the 360 with all of my heart, it have given me so many memories of great things and great people I have gotten in touch with. I owe my 360 alot.
4.Resident "Evuhl" 5
RE5, what to say? It's a great game with kickass co-op, which I've spent most of my days with lately, until I re-discovered Rome Total War.
Sure you miss the old style of the game, when it actually was scary, but it still a very good game. And my GOD, I love it! They have switched out the scary with stress, you need a sturdy heart for this game. People complain about the "not being able to move and shoot". Well, screw you!
Without that, this game wouldn't be as stressful as it is. So kudos to Capcom, for making a game that totally blows the other games out there to pieces.
3.Mass Effect
I love Bioware, and will always do so. And this game made me love them even more.
There isn't much bad things to say about the game, except the AI and bugs in the game, but that doesn't hinder you to play a deep and emotional game.
The story really get's you involved and you can, pretty much, find out everything about everything in the game. I mean, having complex explanations given to you, cause' you asked how the engine works in the ship. That's like 10-15minutes of extra gameplay and it makes you wanna learn more about everything in this game. Problaby played through this game seven times or so. Awesome game. :)
2.Gears Of War
Bringing an "epic" story..haha..see what I did there? I crack myself up..
Nah, the story sucks really much, but that's not what make this game so great. It's the gameplay itself that give you so much, and I'm totally sold. Intense firefights on insane makes me wanna cry and bleed. But when you finally pull it off and claim your place, after finishing it on insane, you gonna feel like a god. And the game doesn't get boring, neither in singleplayer or co-op. I remember me and my brother, playing it through hardcore and insane. We lost track of time, he missed his training and I missed..nothing really, have so much time in my hands. :)
But this game drags you in and won't leave you, until you finish the game on the hardest.
And for the grand finale, we...have...
1.Castle Crashers
This is the game I pick up every once and a while, and just play and play and play. It's so god damn fun, you just can't get enough of the humor or graphics or the gameplay.
Not much to say about this game, then that you should play it and with three other friends. Kicks more ass even then. :)
NOTE: This list is combined by games I own and have played. You might
like it, or you don't.
But give me your list to, would be really "neat" to read about. :)

[OFF THE POST]Brazilian World Cup champ Ronaldo, who is recovering from knee surgery, was questioned by Rio de Janeiro police regarding a run-in with transvestites on Sunday. The AC Milan striker admitted accompanying a prostitute, whom he believed to be female, to a motel, where they were met by other transvestites who allegedly tried to black mail the player.
According to the Associated Press, Ronaldo told police that one of them requested $30,000 to hide the story from the media. (Prostitution is not illegal in Brazil.)
"He admitted to everything, he wanted to have fun," Police inspector Carlos Augusto Nogueira told AP. "But he committed no crime at all, it was immoral at best."
Nogueira said he believed Ronaldo's version of the story because the transvestite left the police station before completing questioning.

Dieter Werner, Text-Stalker and Murder-Abettor Extraordinaire, Has Convictions Wiped
It seems that Dieter Werner has finally hit a lucky streak. After a rough run -- having his ex-girlfriend find the pair of tracking devices he'd latched onto her car; after being sentenced ten years on a pair of charges of stalking -- the 70-year-old has finally caught a break that he's done as little as possible to deserve.
Shortly after his conviction in 2011, Werner was charged with helping Predrag Perisic to evade police. For those who don't recall the name, Perisic was the equally jilted lover who swept into Texas and pumped a dozen rounds into his children in Coldspring, killing his ten-year-old and critically wounding the 12-year-old.
Based on court documents, Werner denied any contact with Perisic, though sworn testimony from Perisic's daughter showed that Werner didn't simply slow police investigations, but also provided the murderer with the location and vehicle used for the shooting.
And yet, as these lovers nurse wounds similar and simmering, only one remains under conviction, stuck in jail for the remainder of his natural life. Based on a ruling from the First District Court last Thursday, Werner is a free man, set with innocence until the courts can, once more, prove him guilty.

The path to Werner's current freedom is a bit banal. His pair of convictions were struck due to technicalities, based on improperly submitted evidence and the denial of a motion to have the stalking charges tried separately. Based on the evidence thus presented, and especially as included within the First District Court's instructions to remand, it seems unlikely that Werner will walk -- but that doesn't deter from the fact that this man's suddenly, legally, an innocent man accused of heinous love-lust.
Nor, as it is, does it deter from the fact that he never had to face charges for abetting Perisic's murders. Because when Werner was charged with hindering Perisic's apprehension, the assistant district attorney tossed the accusal, citing Werner's conviction in the stalking cases. With such convictions now remanded, Werner will either face a retrial for allowing Perisic time to blast his children, or will remain untouched by the charge.
Either way, Werner seems to have suddenly reached a nice streak he has done everything to forgo. As he noted in one of his innumerable amorous SMS's, "Should have answered the phone and not ignored me again. Pissed me off. Now I show you." Here's hope both time and the rulings might make him feel a bit better.

Nothing can keep this little guy down.
A wildfire started by lightning destroyed more than 160 properties and caused at least two deaths in Waroona, in south western Australia, on Jan. 7. Many animals in the area were deeply affected by the event, including this joey, who was rescued by a local animal clinic.
Nurse Frosina of the Waroona Veterinary Clinic posted a picture of the little kangaroo with his bandaged paws, feet and tail on Facebook — which instantly tugged at the heartstrings of wildlife lovers near and far.
While the joey's burns are severe, the clinic says his injuries are not affecting his balance so far. The clinic promises to post more as his condition progresses.
This is perseverance personified.
