Red Dead Redemption refers to many of its side quests as Stranger Missions, reflecting the format in which they're unlocked. Each one begins with John meeting a stranger somewhere in the world - along the side of a road, deep in the woods, within a saloon - and agreeing, for better or worse, to complete a task for them. This may range from the simple and violent to the complex and meditative. John might find himself working as a hired gun for someone he has just met, or searching far and wide for herbs to cure a sick traveler.

Although less pivotal to Red Dead Redemption's overarching story than any of its main missions, Stranger Missions are no less complex. Some of them span the entire game, requiring you to encounter a particular Stranger multiple times throughout the course of the campaign. Others lead into much larger, arguably main quest-adjacent activities.

Anthony Bourdain had a way with words, penning 13 best-selling books throughout his life, most of them rollicking tales about making his way through the tumultuous food industry throughout the ’80s and ’90s.

But his latest book, “World Travel: An Irreverent Guide,” despite being credited to Bourdain himself, was actually assembled by his good friend and longtime assistant Laurie Woolever, based entirely on Bourdain’s own writing and hours-long interviews she conducted with him before his death. His final, best-selling book epitomizes what the raconteur was known for, tracing readers through an entertaining and informative travel guide punctuated by the chef’s one-of-a-kind stories. In addition to his own travel stories, though, “World Travel...

Laurie Woolever, Bourdain’s assistant and co-writer of his last book Appetites, is set to edit the biography. It will be titled Bourdain: The Oral Biography. […]

Terry Lofton and Bill Leslie’s 80s slasher Nail Gun Massacre has had something of a resurgence in popularity lately – including a VHS re-release of the film as part of May 2012′s Texas Frightmare Weekend. Released in a numbered and limited version (only 1000 copies exist), with red VHS cassette, the tape brought the film a new audience – myself included – allowing a new generation to appreciate the films “unique” style of storytelling.

I mention the limited Texas Frightmare VHS release of Nail Gun Massacre as the founder of that horror festival, Lord Cryer, is bringing us the remake! Cryer is teaming with Laid to Rest/Chromeskull director Robert Hall – who is apparently a fan of the original film and worked on bringing it to Blu-ray in 2014. Hall and Cryer will produce the remake and Hall will also direct.

Says Hall:

Terry Lofton and Bill Leslie’s 80s slasher The Nail Gun Massacre has had something of a resurgence in popularity lately – finally debuting on Blu-ray on both sides of the pond: in 2014 Code Red released the film in the Us, whilst here in the UK the film was released as part of 88 Films Slasher Classics in 2015.
