HNG’s Birthday Party Bonanza!
I don’t throw parties very often but when I do I usually pull them off pretty well. I hadn’t had a birthday party since I turned 21 so I figured it was as good a time as any to put one on.

Underworld: Awakening Reviewed
If there is one thing I love it’s badass chicks beating the crap out of people, or, in this case, people and Lycans.
