Chances are, if you're here, you already know about Deadly Premonition. If not - here's a bit of information, though the game truly must be experienced to fully understand the wonder.
Deadly Premonition - or Red Seeds Profile in Japan - was a horror/suspense/action (difficult to define!) game directed by the BRILLIANT SWERY and released in 2010. While it hasn't been hugely publicized, there have been many positive reviews from gaming websites and even G4TV. In America, Deadly Premonition was released at only $20 for the XBox 360 - quite the deal, really, for the amount of entertainment you get.
The game is something that is truly difficult to describe in any short order. In place of my trying to put it to words myself, here are a few links to help get you acquainted.
planetredwood.webs.com/ - A seriously cool Deadly Premonition fansite, run - in fact - by one of our members! An excellent resource to learn about the game or just to poke around for fun.
www.deadlypremonition.com/ - The game's official American website.
ttp://www.giantbomb.com/deadly-premonition-welcome-to-greenvale/17-2071/ - Giant Bomb's Deadly Premonition hub. They have a full playthrough of the game - their 'Endurance Runs' - that are pretty funny whether you've played the game or not.
But WHY is this site called "Sinner's Sandwich?"
Well, the lead mod, Mister Stewart (an avid survival horror gamer), never had heard of Deadly Premonition before. One night, she happened upon an article about the game, and in that article, she found this GLORIOUS cutscene:

That cutscene was enough to make her try the game, and it became a family journey. The whole family would sit and watch her play through the entire game, laughing the whole way and captivated by all the strange and wonderful characters. Deadly Premonition has become a part of everyday life, be it the occasional query to Zach or - more commonly from your lead mod - a random rhyme at work being punctuated with "So Says Mister Stewart."
