DARK VOID GOODIES !!
This swag is WAY OUT THERE !! It’s been to the VOID and back, so it’s very special. Ok lets go through them one by one.
First, we have a cool looking Dark Void USB Flash Drive, this will always come in handy when your hacking into the Watchers central database.
Next we have the Dark Void Iron On Heat Transfer sticker, perfect to slap on the side of your Dark Void Helmet .. will make you look extra cool (bonus points with the ladies, that’s the Watcher Ladies .. ewwww !!)
Next an Exclusive Dark Void Prelude Comic. Just the thing to keep you company at night when you’re all alone in the Void. (its a good read by the way) great work by Udon Comics, it looks like they have travelled to the Void as well.
Next we have some limited edition Greetings from the Void – Postcards. If your’re stuck in the Void battling all those Nasty Watchers, You’re going to want to send your mother pics of you flying and gallivanting all over the void so that she can rest easy at night. (warning .. postcard might never reach your mother due to the very very bad postal service that the Watchers have in the void)
Next, something we all need. A Rubber squishy Yellow Dark Void Grenade. Perfect for squeezing and letting out all that stress of flying around in circles trying to get the hang on that Jetpack on your back. The Grenade can handle the pressure, so give it as much as you can. It can take it. And if all else fails and you run out of real bullets whilst battling the watchers you could throw this at them. It wont hurt anyone but it could buy you some time to high-tail it outta there while they try and figure out what it is. (The Watchers ain’t that bright you know)
And finally the JEWEL in my Dark Void helmet. Here we have a very RARE and limited edition Dark Void Poster signed by the who’s who of Dark Void. Now this is even better than Dan from Street Fighters personally signed Autograph that he tries to flog to everyone he meets on the street. I do have to say that this is certainly very authentic and will be worth a little bit of Dark Void currency in the future .. hmmm I wonder if any of the Watchers would be interested in it .. with this .. I could buy myself a nice condo in the Void and have Watcher maids bring me cocktails while I’m over looking the total destruction of the earth !! MUUUHAHAHA (evil laugh)
And there you have it. A trip to the Void and back, I hope you all enjoyed the show. If you want to know more of about the Void, the Watchers and Jetpacks. Make your way over to The Official Dark Void Website, its jam packed with Dark Void goodness. And if you still cant get enough. Follow and keep up to date with all the latest news as from the Void by following Dark Void on Twitter.

I know probably half the world has already completed Modern Warfare 2. But I wanted to share with anyone that hasn’t and doesn’t mind a bit of a SPOILER !!
The Modern Warfare 2 Mission Guide – Endgame – Last Mission – This last mission you have to chase down Lieutenant General Shepherd on a little inflatable speedboat. You play as Soap and have Price assisting you in taking down General Shepherd before he can escape via chopper. The second part of the mission your on foot, very drowsy and shaken up, and hunting down Shepherd after his Chopper is taken down by Price. And This is a fantastic ending to the BEST SHOOTER of 2009. Enjoy and let us know what you think of it.
Please bear in mind. THIS IS A BIG TIME SPOILER VIDEO. Do not watch if you don’t want to see how Modern Warfare 2 ends. Everyone else .. ENJOY 🙂
