ROOKIE-related: Togo tragedy, why GFL has diplomatic immunity for team buses
Posted February 7th, 2010 by scottsigler (FD∅™)
One of the focal points of THE ROOKIE is the violence and hatred between governments. That hatred is the reason that GFL "team busses" have diplomatic immunity across all systems -- buses can not be boarded or searched, players can not be arrested or questioned (save for extreme situations).
If you haven't heard the story, the Togo national team was competing in the Africa Cup. The team bus was attacked and three players -- elite footballers in the prime of their lives -- were killed. The attackers now claim it the bus was the wrong target, but high-profile national athletes have always been targets and will always be targets.
A tragic situation that turns the joy and equality of sports into pure sadness.

Review: DEVLIN: ABNORMAL INVESTIGATIONS
Posted February 3rd, 2010 by scottsigler (FD∅™)
I'll be honest, when I grow up, I want to be Greg Crites.
Click here to go to Crites' site and get his stuff
I am wayyyy behind on blogging about what I'm reading and/or listening to, so I'll keep this short. Besides, if AlphaGirl (the Director of Døøm) finds out I'm listening to stuff instead of kicking out content for all y'all, there will be a conference room brew-hah-hah that could result in a trip to the emergency room.
I finished another Crites gem, DEVLIN: ABNORMAL INVESTIGATIONS, and as usual, fucking loved it. Crites has a unique horror/comedy niche and never fails to deliver. This is my third Crites novel. I started with CRUSADE, then did DUNKIN THE VAMPIRE SLAYER (which I would recommend reading/hearing before you do DEVLIN, but DEVLIN works fine as a stand-alone novel).
If you can find a better novel about an alcoholic, foul-mouthed, monster-slaying vampire, I would love to know.
Crites is also the author of a character in THE CRYPT: Bentwrench Crites, Engineer

Sigler Signature Series: KISSYMAN

KISSYMAN & SCREAMING JESSE DUPRÉ - Click & Listen There is a brand-new KISSYMAN novella on the horizon (like, starting next week), so Dark Øverlord Media thought it wise to bust out the original story. I was very surprised that people liked this story as much as they did, enough so that a small but vocal bunch have been asking for more Kissyman action. Well Junkies, ask and ye shall receive (with the exception of MT. FITZROY, of course). |

We here at Dark Øverlord Media are big fans of Podiobooks.com as consumers AND as producers of content. Evo works his tail off to make sure the books are easy to download, high-quality, and always available: it's a great site and a great service. [Also? Evo's a hell of a guy.

You'd think with all the posting he does here that he wouldn't have time for such awesomeness, but you'd be wrong. So get on over there and check it out! If you're so inclined, leave a comment or two. |
