A worthy adaptation of an excellent comic
A really enjoyable, filthy, dark and funny series. Some excellent portrayals of really twisted characters and a great real world take on what would happen if superheroes were real. A number of liberties were taken (Hughie not being Scottish for one, Karl Urban's accent for another) but all in all a really brilliant TV show that ended too soon, but clearly has so much more to come.

Descriptive Morsel
I've never read any of this author's work but after getting a glimpse into his deviant mind I will say that I will definitely be reading more of his wicked reads. This dark and twisted short story was over way too quickly as I found myself captivated by this descriptive morsel of a tale. Be prepared to experience what feels like a full-length book all packed into this short story.

It's been a while since i read the first three books in this series but i remember loving them in their twisted ways so a chance to jump back into the world of Tarrick and Matthew was a big YES!

Though Matthew is only mentioned in passing, Tarrick, Sam and Jet take centre stage. It was a fun little romp and has got me very excited for the next book in the series!
  

"The Room has been called the worst movie ever made, but it is also a cult favorite and has become the new Rocky Horror Picture Show in the midnight movie circuit. Sestero, one of the actors in the film, relates the twisted story of the making of The Room, and beautifully captures the admirable will, and the insane solipsism that is Tommy Wiseau, the mad and ultimately sympathetic man behind getting such a movie made."

The Voice In My Head is tragic, beautiful, emotional, poignant, twisted....and pretty much every feeling you can think of. It's hard to put into words how much I struggled with the heavy topic....and yet loved it, because it make me laugh and cry, love and hate, and just so many things in between.

It's the kind of book that ruins you, really. But in unexpected -- somewhat wonderful and woeful -- ways.

Let The Cars Hit The Floor Reboot
Twisted Metal- not to be confused with "Twisted Metal" is a ps3 vehicle combat. This game serves as a reboot to the franchise.

Gameplay: The game focuses heavily on multiplayer combat, including various online game modes with up to 4 player split-screen and 16-players online (the online gameplay was discontinued in early 2019). For example, the Nuke Mode is a new online game mode where the players choose a faction to play against an opposing faction. In this mode, each faction has a giant metal statue that is being held in the air by a helicopter, which the opposing team must try to destroy. In order to destroy these statues, the player must abduct the enemy team's leader, then sacrifice the leader to a missile launcher that will, in turn, launch a nuclear missile.

The person who sacrifices the leader and launches the missile has to control it to hit the opposing teams statue in the air. In order to win the opposing team has to repeat the process 3 times before the statue is destroyed for a team to win. There are four factions: the Clowns, the Dolls, the Skulls, and the Holy Men. The former having been announced as being inspired by Sweet Tooth and Dollface. The latter are led by Mr. Grimm and the Preacher respectively.

unfortunately this was the last game released in the main series. No new game has been released since 2012. I need my "Twisted Metal".

A great game and a excellent franchise.
