01/06/2012 - American Gladiator to star in Firefall HeroesRED 5 STUDIOS BRINGS FIREFALL HEROES TO LIFE
Lee “Hawk”
Reherman of American Gladiators to Play “Typhon”
Laguna Hills,
CA – January 6, 2012 – Red 5 Studios™ announces it has cast Lee “Hawk” Reherman to take on
the role of Firefall’s hardened war hero, “Typhon”, at future events. Red 5 is unveiling Lee, and
Crystal Graziano – recently chosen to play “Mourningstar” – in their newly completed “battleframes”
with a new trailer at: http://bitly.com/ffcosplay2. Both battleframes were hand-crafted by award-winning Hollywood FX artist,
Steve Wang, and his team.
Most well-known as “Hawk” on American Gladiators, Lee Reherman also hosted
five seasons of "Arena" on G4 and has played multiple wacky characters on the Disney Channel. His vibrant personality,
athleticism, and remarkable likeness to Typhon, made him the perfect fit to play the Firefall character. Red 5 plans
to bring Lee, as Typhon, to at least six conventions during 2012, as well as feature him in a yet unannounced project aimed
at bringing Firefall’s rich sci-fi universe to life.
Fans can follow the official Firefall
blog (www.firefallthegame.com/blog) to stay informed about upcoming appearances for both Lee Reherman as Typhon,
and Crystal Graziano as Mourningstar, during 2012. They’ll be wearing some of the most realistic costumes ever constructed,
made possible by the unique talents of Steve Wang.
Red 5 Studios’ free-to-play open world shooter, Firefall,
is currently running the first stage of its exclusive beta – planned to roll-out through 2012. Players can sign-up for
the chance to be invited into the beta and meet Firefall’s enthusiastic community at the official homepage:

01/04/2012 - Hamster Cannon Launches on AndroidHamster Cannon launched on Android
Jan 4, 2012 - London, Ontario - Big Blue Bubble
Inc. has presented another breakthrough in hamster aerodynamics with Hamster Cannon - now available on Android Market.
Do you remember the boring ol' days when you had to feed your hamsters by hand like a sucker? Then you'd sit all day
with your face pressed against the glass, waiting for them to wake up? Finally, at 3 a.m. you wake to the sound of their stupid,
squeaky wheel? Well ... not our hamsters! We're taking control and feeding our hamsters in the only way that makes sense...
by shooting them out of Cannons!
But, I guess our hamsters aren't exactly run of the mill, off the shelf-type hamsters.
Here at Hamster Cannon, all of our hamsters have undergone stringent testing and thorough top-to-bottom inspections, which
allow us to feel confident that only the finest hamsters will be shot from your cannon in search of Golden Noms. Rest assured
that while they bounce off walls, smash through stone, and are set on fire, most of our esteemed hamsters don protective headgear
such as stunt helmets and surprisingly safe hats made of TNT.
You can experience the amazing hamster-istry when
you play, Hamster Cannon. Where else can you enjoy a physics-based puzzle game, in which the user combines and launches various
hamsters out of cannons to collect Golden Noms? Each hamster is armed with their own special skills so it is up to you to
navigate the levels with a myriad of different surfaces and contraptions that can react differently depending on which hamster
is being used. And that's not all! After you have collected enough Noms you can trade them in the In-Game Store to unlock
different, new, and exciting upgrades.
Hamster Cannon Features:
- Over 70 intricately designed cages to blast your hamsters around
- Clever physics puzzles
- An overabundance of wildly
attractive headgear
- Amazing set of power ups
- Fun for the whole family - well... except your hamster
Pricing and Availability:
Hamster Cannon 1.0 is a free
app and it is available for any Android device with OS 1.6 and up.
