Jihad struck England.
Click here, nothing much, but more than a lot of bloggers said.

We started a new game, lets see what happens.
City of Villains rolled [...]

Not exactly the truck I wanted to hang around on the highway.

SL Attacked, guess it is time to play Oblivion

Never know how addicted you are to something till it is taken away unexpectedly.
