I'm happy to announce the CheapyD Homie DLC will be available for free on all platforms, starting January 17th. Even if I bought my way in, it's still an incredible honor for me to be included in this outstanding video game. Working with the Volition guys has been awesome and I really hope I have the opportunity to do so again.

After downloading this DLC, you'll be able to call me up on your cell and have me shoot people in the face for you. Or, as you can see in the above trailer, you can set me on fire and listen to me scream like a young woman.
