- Quickie Updates from the real Coast City!!!
- Another 'BROKEN LINKS' and 'BEST OF THE GUEST' appearance


On with the show...


CHAPTER 21 IS LIVE ON THE DEADEST DAY OF THE YEAR!!!

On a night where ghouls and goblins and spooks (yes...even the CIA-type - they gotta gather information on future explosives experts from somewhere!) roam the windswept streets of tiny hamlet and swollen city alike, what better way to celebrate than to indulge in the next creepy creation from the BS crew! This new 3-Act killer clocks in at just over 30 MINUTES in length, and is a fine milestone for the 7/8 mark in the series.

Lock your doors. Light some candles. Turn the speakers way up. Creep the hell out of your neighbourhood!!! Bwahaha hahahaha hahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahaahahahahaha hahhahahahahahha...
umm....and stuff :)

GO NOW, BUT WITH A WARNING: Acts 2 and 3 are bigger files than we usually export, which might make some of your machines crash due to memory constraints. If this happens, please mail IAN as soon as possible so we can compress the darn things back down to their usual size and audio rate. (ian@brokensaints.com)

And, if you feel that our storytelling tricks are worth a few treats in return, feel free to fill our recyclable hemp goodie-bags with fiscal glucose:

Guaranteed more shocks per second than Doctor Tongue's 3D House of Beef! Scaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaary!!!


FINAL CALL FOR SUMMER CONTEST ENTRIES!!!

>From the looks of our Inboxes and mailboxes, a healthy chunk of you chose to leave your entries to the last minute. The messages have been pouring in over the last few days. What do they say? "GIVE US MORE TIME!!!" Well now...how exactly would that be fair to the fine folks that DIDN'T procrastinate, hmm? ;)

That said, we're giving you a few days latitude for 'postal errors'. We'd hate to see anyone's hard and inspired work be for naught, and every piece of art, music, video, and writing that we've received so far has really touched us - so get moving! Drop us a line at info@brokensaints.com to let us know your entry situation. Is it en route? About to get dropped in the slot? Waiting for the Fed-Ex dude? Let us know...and we'll see what we can swing.

The top 10 entries will be announced with the launch of CHAPTER 22 sometime in December, so all you good little boys and girls can expect some sweet treats under the 'tree' (or whatever inanimate prop you use to celebrate your home's version of the Winter Solstice Festival)!!!


SITE UPDATES AND OTHER SWANKY HAPPENINGS!!!

Here's what to expect at brokensaints.com through the month of November:

- a major update to the QUOTES and CONCEPT ART sections!!!
- a new line-up of MP3s to inspire some desire for the third BS Soundtrack!!!
- another amazing wallpaper, and a 'keeper' version of CHAPTER 21!!!
- more story-related updates to Raimi's Homepage and the Biocom Worldwide site!!!
- more FAN ART, YAP, LINKS, RANTS, and BTS goodies!!!
- a MAJOR press announcement in mid-November!!!

Sound juicy?

Damn straight!

Stay tuned.


"BROKEN LINKS" (while the Web's still free, this is where we loiter)

LINK : BS get's the Italian treatment. Expect some subtitled chapters soon. VIVA ITALIA!!!
LINK : A smokin' design hub for the cyber artist of today and tomorrow. Not your Grandma's design site.
LINK : We love Buffy. Buffy is wise. Soak in the wisdom. Like, totally big bad.
LINK : Please folks, leave the politically correct crap at the door - it's a SATIRE site - and we're STILL laughing.


"BEST OF THE GUEST" (Whoas and LINK from surfers of the Great Electric Sea)

Palgyor Lhondrup (no addy given): "This is neat I guess but it's new age blah at the end of the day. Dream of a new world my ass. Look within, change within, and presto, the world is new and all that's in it too." (Brooke's note - "And I thought I was a freakin' cynic...someone give this man a prize!")

Shiva (from 'midlattitudes'): "Quite simply...unreal. Transformative. Innovative. I am both enthralled and repulsed, for its skirts the dangers of the mind, of reality. Who are you? Whomever...keep it up." (Brooke's note - "When such overflowings come from the Goddess of Destruction, you know you're doing SOMETHING right." ;) )


That's all for now, so don't summon any demons you can't dispel...

But if you do, remember the magic incantation...

WORD

IS

BOND!!!
