Beta Threat
The Beta Threat, and its sequel Red Alpha Rising, are a pair of affectionate parodies and troll fics of the Call of Duty Modern Warfare franchise by "The ender of lives." These poorly-spelled action-packed stories chronicle the adventures of Special Agent Shampoo as he battles terrorists and Communist revolutionaries. There is also now a Dramatic Reading. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggyoW1Ykmkk
