We had a little promotion over the weekend, putting FaceFighter on “sale” for free (and it remains free at this hour, and for at least a little while longer).

Crunch time … Friday night turned into Saturday morning, and the crew didn’t call it quits until past 4:00 AM local. The photos are fuzzy, but so were we. The drunks downstairs kept our energy up, but eventually the night caught up even with the God of Thunder. We’re back at it today … gonna [...]
