If you love the Fruit Ninja app [hand raised] and have Xbox 360 Kinect [sad lip], you’re gonna wanna watch this. The Kinect game might not be quite as fun as actually battling a dude in a watermelon costume, but damn it’s probably close. In case the embedded video above […]
The creative soul behind Punk Farm and the Lunch Lady Comic Book Series is debuting a new picture book for children this fall, Ollie the Purple Elephant. Jarrett J.
