• In this week’s episode I chat a bit about branding. I go into the whys and whynots. I talk about the BS that is spewed, and it being me, I spew some of my own BS. It’s more informative than it sounds. Trust me.

    Also, Christmas music!

    Enjoy!

    So Many Things
    By
    Jake Bible

    “Skip the rock, Horace,” Magdalena said. “Take it like this and throw.”

    “I can’t, Maggie,” Horace whimpered. “Not with that thing in the pond.”

    “Ignore it,” Magdalena replied. “We’re safe on shore.”

    “It looks like it can reach,” Horace said, his hand shaking as he gripped the flat, round rock. “It has a lot of arms.”

    “Just skip the darn rock,” Magdalena sighed. “We need to get home before dark. You know, because of the thing in the woods.”

    “Yeah,” Horace said as he stared at the thing in the water.

    So many things to deal with. So many things.

    Cheers!

    What began in the wasteland of Dead Mech, and continued alongside Europe and Asia in The Americans, now has its epic conclusion in Metal and Ash.

    Commander James Capreze and his team of mech pilots must no longer battle just zombies, cannibals, religious cults, and the ever-dreaded dead mechs. Now, they will be put to the test by the forces of the Three, as the evil alliance bent on dominating every inch of the world attacks from two fronts, forcing Capreze to split his forces and make alliances with those he had been sworn to defeat. The wasteland becomes the setting for an epic fight for basic human survival like it hasn’t seen in hundreds of years.

    Will 50-foot battle mechs be enough against hundreds of thousands of techno-zombies ready to wipe everything living off the scorched map that is the wasteland? Join Capreze, his mech pilots, the refugee Americans, end every denizen of the wasteland as they make one final stand to keep the Three from bringing humanity’s downfall. Alliances are formed and broken, mech pilots are made and murdered, secrets are revealed and agendas destroyed, and thousands of bodies fall and rise again in the Apex trilogy finale: Metal and Ash.

  • Thanksgiving is over, but that doesn’t mean I can’t still be thankful! In this week’s episode I talk about the things I am thankful for and also about other stuffs. Lots of other stuffs. I get rambly because that’s how I roll!

    Twine!
    By
    Jake Bible

    “Ten men! Ten Women! Nothing but open desert, a pair of shoes, and one very long piece of twine!”

    “That’s right, Robert! For the fifteenth year in a row, twenty citizens will compete to the death in a hostile environment all for the glory of one very long piece of twine!”

    “It’s all about the twine, Jerry! Nothing but twine tonight!”

    “You don’t have to tell me, Robert! If there was ever a prize to risk your life for, it is this very long piece of twine!”

    “I am so jealous right now!”

    “Aren’t we all, Robert! Aren’t we all!”

    Cheers!
