Welcome to April!

April 1 is the day when we get serious around here. The staff gets together to discuss what will happen for the next year here on Shades of Gray (which needs to get back on track!) what will be released from NUELOW Games (which needs to release more actual game content!) and lots of other stuff.

It is all very professional and organized.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

 Lucille Ball is here to show you how a proper lady celebrates this glorious day!

Not everyone necessarily thinks this holiday should be celebrated, nor that St. Patrick should be honored. In the interest of fairness, we're giving those people equal time and space this year.
