Eleven years, three convictions, two deportations, ten thousand pints, six barring orders and a legion of leather-clad groupies later, Dave Walsh, Barry Kavanagh and Damien DeBarra (the cheap tarts that brought you Blather.net) bring you their latest labour of love: A Load of Blather: Unreal Reports from Ireland and Beyond, the first book that anyone has been nuts enough to let them publish. Shamelessly re-working articles which have been online for years anyway, this magnificent tome is a veritable smorgasboard of smut; bursting out of its trousers with a great heaving cavalcade of paranormal events, superstitions, mysterious happenings, conspiracy theories, hordes of rampaging kangaroos in the Dublin hills, and the previously untold story of General Michael Collins’ forays into outer space. There’s even a bit about talking cows in there. If the lawyers haven’t cut it out. There’s guest articles too, from the likes of Sue Walsh, Oliver Bayliss and Dr. Stewart Roberts.
Judging by the Table of Contents, this book promises to be entertaining, if not outrageously hilarious. The book is scheduled for release on May 12, 2008.

The Invisible begins with golden boy, Nick Powell, who dreams about killing himself during an agonizing graduation party. I sat there for the next half hour, watching his interactions with his mother, friends, and the school bullies who preyed upon his best friend. He defied his controlling mother by enrolling himself in a writing course in London, only to toss his airline ticket at a girlfriend who voiced her pleasure at rebelling against his mother. At that point, he gives up on the writing course and leaves the party to go home.
In the meantime, bad girl Annie Newton is out for revenge against Nick because she was told that he ratted her out to the cops about a jewelry heist. Annie and her cohorts, along with his spineless best friend chase him into the woods. She and the cohorts beat him into unconsciousness, and then hides him in a sewer drain because they think he’s dead.
Nick finds himself in a limbo state, stuck between life and death. He learns that not everybody thinks as highly of him as he was led to believe. This doesn’t stop him from screaming with self-righteous anger at everyone who disappointed him. Of course, nobody can see or hear him.
His spirit latches onto Annie, who is under suspicion with the police in connection with Nick’s disappearance. He follows her everywhere, both shouting and pleading with her to tell the authorities where his body is located before it dies. This was the best part of the movie. I was disappointed with the ending because it was unrealistic and contrived. To me, it went against human nature.
Up until that point, I enjoyed watching The Invisible. I loved the soundtrack and plan on hunting for it later. Also, I felt that the Seattle-like town added to the dark and somber mood.

Travel with Nigel Danvers to an eerie seaside town on England’s east coast. Learn to use advanced techniques used by real paranormal investigators, and uncover an ancient mystery and treasure. But, beware, not all of the towns residents will help in your mission, whether they are alive or dead.
Inspiration from the haunting works of Charles Dickens, M.R. James, Arthur Conan Doyle, and E.F. Benson combines with real ghost-hunting gadgets to bring this frightening story to bone-chilling life. Success or failure in locating wandering spirits depends on your skill as an investigator. Placing motion detectors, night vision cameras, and temperature gauges correctly will reveal a location’s haunted past, and expose terrifying apparitions. With nerves of steel, and wits to match, you will soon discover long lost secrets, previously known only to the dead!
I’ve been looking for a decent ghost hunting game for years, ever since I played the once-popular Amber Journeys Beyond. Based on the review from Just Adventure, this sounds like a great game. I liked the soundtrack on the trailer, but the animation looks a bit clunky. I’ll be watching for more reviews in the future.
