Well, Oops, I Guess….

In Other News…

Posted on July 18, 2008 by Ubu Roi

I thought I’d check out the latest on ADV and see if they were quite dead yet. The answer is “no” but there were two pieces of news, one quite sad. Unsurprisingly, they’re going to reissue old stuff they still … Continue reading →

Melancholy Voice Choice II

Posted on December 29, 2006 by Ubu Roi
