Readers, I’m sorry it’s been quite a long time since my last set of reviews! I’ll give you plenty of reviews to make up for it this time. In this installment of Casual Game Recommendations, you’ll find a review of gaming company Kairosoft (courtesy of my fab BF), two animal tending games, a great matching game, and more!

The Venture Bros. has since its 2003 debut been one of the best, and most under-appreciated, shows on television. Airing on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim block, the show began as a parody of (and tribute to) Jonny Quest, and other ‘60s space age adventure shows. However, it quickly developed its own mythology and a massive cast of characters representing everyone from David Bowie to Spiderman. Only four seasons of the show have eked out so far, but hopefully the recent “Shallow Gravy” special represents progress toward bringing us more. SuicideGirls recently spoke with the series’ creators, pseudonymously known as Jackson Publick and Doc Hammer, about the show, the special, and the possibility of season five.

Mel Suicide in Rainy Afternoon

• INTO: Music –– I can listen to anything and everything, I love it. Tattoos –– I love them and will be getting a few very soon, when I get a bit more money! Pierceings are great too, I used to have ten, but I took them out. I miss my third and second navel piercings! I love photography and crazy make-up, and one day hope to be a make-up artist. I love festivals. I went to reading festival this year and was trashed –– it was amazing. My friends are pretty much my main priority; I love them to bits and I’m so protective over them.
• MAKES ME HAPPY: My friends, obviously, going out and getting drunk with them, food, new clothes, sparkly things. I’m easily pleased!
• MAKES ME SAD: Backstabbing, arguments, fake people in general.
• HOBBIES: Athletics, socializing, going to gigs, having a good time in general, drawing, painting.
• 5 THINGS I CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT: My best friends, laptop, phone, and a splash of make-up.
• I SPEND MOST OF MY FREE TIME: Out with my friends, sleeping, eating. I hate being stuck indoors!

Our Fiction Friday serialized novel, The Killswitch Review, is a futuristic murder mystery with killer sociopolitical commentary (and some of the best sex scenes we’ve ever read!). Written by bestselling sci-fi author Steven-Elliot Altman (with Diane DeKelb-Rittenhouse), it offers a terrifying postmodern vision in the tradition of Blade Runner and Brave New World…

By the year 2156, stem cell therapy has triumphed over aging and disease, extending the human lifespan indefinitely. But only for those who have achieved Conscientious Citizen Status. To combat overpopulation, the U.S. has sealed its borders, instituted compulsory contraception and a strict one child per couple policy for those who are permitted to breed, and made technology-assisted suicide readily available. But in a world where the old can remain vital forever, America’s youth have little hope of prosperity.

Jason Haggerty is an investigator for Black Buttons Inc, the government agency responsible for dispensing personal handheld Kevorkian devices, which afford the only legal form of suicide. An armed “Killswitch” monitors and records a citizen’s final moments — up to the point where they press a button and peacefully die. Post-press review agents — “button collectors” — are dispatched to review and judge these final recordings to rule out foul play.

When three teens stage an illegal public suicide, Haggerty suspects their deaths may have been murders. Now his race is on to uncover proof and prevent a nationwide epidemic of copycat suicides. Trouble is, for the first time in history, an entire generation might just decide they’re better off dead.

(Catch up with the previous installments of Killswitch – see links below – then continue reading after the jump…)

I’ve been super busy these last few days, the music project my friends and I run in Portland is starting to pick up speed, and I’m helping organize an #OccupyWallStreet benefit next week. (If you’re interested in helping, contact me on Twitter.) So, this week is just a bunch of dumb, dumb shit from around the Internet. Hurray!
