First and foremost, Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays.  Second, December is almost over and I am in a pair of shorts with the screen door open...wtf?Ok, now to the goodness. Team Riva has had to do a little restructuring a few months back...

...cant nobody hold me down...oh no...i got to keep on moving.I purchased the Dino rig off my buddy for a paltry $50 (its old but I got a hook up for Riva's sake).I have reinstalled GameMaker Studio:PRO, my spriting programs and my audio pr...

Earlier today I was told that the GUYS that broke into my house have been caught. They had the Ipad jerk offs ID and it took them to one of their houses. Inside the house they found a few other people a bunch of stolen property. While they ...
