That last one is an interesting choice. The title screams a McFarland Press publication.

Why yes, yes indeed it is.

By the way...nice job on the banner. Metal Slug is a good game. (I'm assuming you did the banner. If not, good job to whoever did it)

Yeah, I actually had the banner done for a while, I just never knew what to do with it, 'cause I wasn't sure that I'd be able to put it up on the blog like that.
