You have gotten the attention of the mysterious lady. She turns to face you. Her face is devoid of any flesh. You are frozen with horror as she begins ripping your body into a bloody mess.

Small but very addictive Flash games. The art design is very good.
2. The One Ring
http://www.theonering.net/
Most of you probably already know about this -- a excellent place for information on the Lord of the Rings movie trilogy.
3. Megatokyo
http://www.megatokyo.com/
An anime inspired comic about two Americans stuck in Japan. I only watch a moderate amount of anime, and I'm certainly not a hard core gamer (which is also a theme of many of the comics), but it's still pretty funny stuff.
4. The Official Mystery Science Theater 3000 Info Club Web Site
http://www.mst3kinfo.com
My favorite site for MST3K stuff.
5. The L-Space Web
http://www.ie.lspace.org/
Great site for all things involving Terry Pratchett, most notably the annotations, which I found invaluable in adding depth and clearing up questions about the Discworld novels.

2) XYZZY News
Top-notch site for everything IF-related.
3) Deviant Art
Awesome wallpapers, skins and stuff following a "dark" theme. Some of them are truly breathtaking.

One of the best horror-movie sites. Excellent reviews!

The latest episode in Broken Saints was BAD!
I didn't like it. The previous was much more shocking, thrilling and everything. This was just...I can't say...yes, it was boring, old-fashioned, without inspiration. And they say, this was their milestone...
Perhaps they didn't notice what an extraordinary good work they have done so far.
But I shouldn't ruin the expectation of others. Unfortunately, I already did.
Man, this was a mediocre episode AT BEST!
Argh. Let's hope for a really mindblowing finale.

Status : Online | Please Elfstone, don't say any spoilers.... I'm still on the 16th episode. Hey, but just one bad episode in so many great ones, I think it's no big deal... and since it is not the finale, there's hope for a grandiose put-it-alltogether (man, every episode I watch, I get more questions than answers all the time).
But pllzzzz no spoilers...
BROKEN SAINTS RULES!

I can tell you that almost each episode tops the previous one. That's a spoiler, but one you might enjoy!
Maybe my expectations were too high.
I'm sure the last episode will be enormous and of highest quality.
Btw:
Did you experience the very same than I did? Each episode raises more questions. You can't really understand what is going on till the end.

All of them? Eh, not likely. At a quick glance I recognize 20 or 21 among all three alphabets, so I've got some work to do.
