Book Review


Dead Space: Martyr is the prequel to the video game Dead Space by EA and Visceral Games.  Set 200 years prior to the events of the first Dead Space™, the events of Dead Space: Martyr focus around the story of a geophysicist named Michael Altman as he discovers an anomaly deep within the Chicxulub crater in the Yucatan Peninsula.

The plot goes deep into the psychological aspect of humanity and the profound effect the discovery of Michael Altman has on the psyche of the people involved around said anomaly.

Baby Daddy


My name is Samuel Windsor, last week  was told by my mother about my father whom I never met, seeing as they were divorced before I was born. This topic always seems to make her feel embarrassed for some reason or another. Though I had only been told stories of him that were extremely vague and didn't tell me much about him, as in where he worked or some of his hobbies before the divorce, that was all about to change. My mother had decided it was time to mitigate the vagueness of these tales and meet him in person.

I never thought I would ever get to meet him and now I'm glad because my mom, though being very adamant about not telling me, decided I was old enough to learn more about my dad. The next morning after being told that we were going to see my father we packed up the minivan for the long trip from Georgia to Phoenix, Arizona. Of course this was not the only plan we had for this trip, this was also our vacation across the states to see the sites. It only became a trip to see my father when she realized that we'd be passing through Arizona to see the Grand Canyon so she thought it would make sense to get it out of the way.
