Of course, I was only able to go out and mess with it once or twice last week since it was raining. Not unusual for summer in Holland, but never the less, annoying. Well, now that … Read moreZombies,Run! for Android! Pt1

Hydra Dice – Necron (Kickstarter Project)

This morning I was browsing through the games section of Kickstarter.com.  I really love this site because some great projects are born, such as Zombies, Run!
