We made it - the new About Time website and e-shop are now live and we hope people like it. Of course we are also working on a viral campaign to create awareness and interest in the game and pull people to the site. The work on that is underway now and should show fruit in a month or so.

The death of Patrick Swayze has brought back memories of his most famous role, in Dirty Dancing. It's no secret that the film was hugely popular with female audiences. I personally remember him most in two other great movies - Point Break, the Kathryn Bigelow directed adrenalin classic in which he starred as the leader of the surfer bank robbers, the ex-Presidents - an ultimately cool role. He also played a drag queen in To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar. Then, a dcade later, he appeared in Donnie Darko in a very uncool role, as the motivational speaker who (warning - spoiler coming) is exposed as a paedophile. That was surely a very brave role to take, and in stark contrast to his early heart throb and action hero roles, before he somewhat disappeared while fighting alcoholism and recovering from a serious riding injury.

RIP Patrick Swayze. Your memories will remain forever. After a long battle with pancreatic cancer, the actor Patrick Swayze has passed away.  He was 57 years of age.  Patrick Swayze was diagnosed in 2008 with stage 4 cancer, and it metastasized to his liver. Pancreatic cancer is one of the most aggressive forms, with less than 5% of patients surviving 5 years, most succumbing within 6 months of diagnosis.  Swayze leaves behind an intimidating body of work, including smashing successes in blockbuster films, hit TV shows, and even a few highly regarded indie appearances and stage work. He will certainly be sorely missed, and there will be many paycheck loans worth for tributes to <a href="personalmoneystore.com/.../">Patrick Swayze</a>.
