a new twist...

John Sin Clair was born over a century ago where he was raised in an occult village. He grew as one of a small following on the very plains the campus now rests on...

Migrants from the east who traveled the mighty pacific in search of a new land came inland up the gorge and along the way they ran into a stranger you might say that told them of these plains...

The plains between the forest of Crisium Creek...this creek name, changed later by officials to the Salmon, was the home on an evil spirit said to be cast from the depths of the moon...

2006...Struck by curiosity of a tale thought to be lost, a WSUV student stumbled upon the writings of Sin Clair in an old manuscript found in the libraries older readings...

The writing's told of an evil force that was alive in the forest around the WSUV campus. Sin Clair had seen the force gaining strength upon every full moon and would never go away...

The student who found these writings was awestruck with his discovery... he began studying and journeying the forest surrounding the campus until it consumed his mind...

The student was never seen again...

----------------------------------------------

Recently a couple of hikers walking the trails around the campus stumbled upon a camera and what is said to be the students last known days captured on video...

We will now follow the student's trail led by these videos said to be taken by him while trying to find out the myth of John Sin Clair...

John Sin Clair, a brutal of types was a metal smith some centuries ago... living in the northwest wasn't always a summer breeze...growing up in the plains above the Columbia was a rough ride...

1798...John Sin Clair is born to immigrants from the east who traveled the mighty pacific in search of a new land...they came inland up the gorge and along the way they ran into a...ah...a stranger you might say...


the bell rang by John Sin Clair warning the villagers of the approaching brainless...full moons weren't an evening you had midnight socials in the park...

after his death the home of John Sin Clair was used through the 1900's by scavengers and migrants looking for a break from the rain...but come the harvest moon he still roams these woods...

the point of the forest where John Sin Clair made a stand over 143 zombies...victorious yet infected...john lived on...

the old town hall turned shed...locked every night to insure that no one can discover the secrets...

online gaming projects...

Reviewing some of these games was really fun, looking at the interfaces and reading about the stories were great inspiration for our own games that we will be creating. It will be a challenge to create a new game that goes outside of the realm that our review games all seem to stay inside of...I'm thinking that the media that we add will separate us from the pack...

A new game for those who love play while they drink!

This is a bar hopping game that can be played anywhere with at least a half dozen bars within walking distance...and you probably want to make sure you have a sober person to make sure you don't break anything on your adventure...

We will play our game in Downtown Vancouver, WA...

The objective is to consume at least one of the specified beverages at each establishment.

Each bar has its own special drink!

Can you make it to all the bars?

You have to be standing on your own two feet at the end!

Winners don't drink and drive!!! Cab rides are way cheaper than DUI's!!!
