Fallen Angels, Episode 1: Lay Me Down to Rest ...

"The story of a rough cop is told, recapping mission-by-mission what led him up to his current scenario. Will the charges me dropped? Will he ever be able to live with himself after the situations he went through in his squad? Will anything ... ever be the same? Join him as he recounts the greatest story ever told ... perhaps not so much, but the exposition is deliriously good. Or so Bill would agree. (Episode 1)"

"A change of pace, this time -- Raftacon brings in his friend, Chuck, to help sort out the next piece of the puzzle that is the underground Greenland complex introduced through the Penumbra games ... but does he have what it takes to get the generator up and running again?

The Shadow Journal Presents: Blitz: The League II

"Blue 42, Blue 42 ... hike! Delve into the underground world of non-licensed, non-official rough-and-tumble football with Raftacon and the character he advances through the tiers, conveniently named Kid Franchise. The bruises, the broken bones, the blood, the lost seasons, the lost games, the juicing, and the medical attention needed are just a few of the things this reiteration of the series brings into a new light ... but, this time, with more ruptured scrotums than you can shake a stick at!"

The Shadow Journal Presents: Bus Driver

"Beep-beep! God knows you don't want to be late as Raftacon drives around in a school bus with reckless abandon towards pedestrians, other cars, and even other buses. Overbraking is bad. Passengers can get angry. And, remember: as long as you turn on your emergency lights, you can make any kind of erratic weaving through traffic (especially when they stop on a dime!) Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the world that is Bus Driver. Enjoy your non-safe stay!"

The Shadow Journal Presents: Resident Evil 5

"It's time to sit down, lock n' load, and get ready to face one of the most anticipated titles to come out so far this year. Raftacon sits down and plays through, nitpicking the tiny things that bothered him as well as giving a recap of the game as a whole (so spoilers naturally abound.) Take the ride, live the dream, and get back to (albeit not-so-fearfully) dismantling these Las Plagas-infected African villagers bit by bit."
