But you're very wrong. The good as it gets at three is when you stumble upon a used condom in your parents bedroom and you run around the house whacking the cat while staining, every possible fabric covered, furniture with semen. Embarassed

It’s fun up until you get beaten by Mr. belt. :’( But hey I then saved a bunch of money on my car insurance thanks to geico.

Phantom looks cool… but it will bomb Very Happy

After its initial release it will be dated and ‘new’ games won’t run at ‘uber leet’ 100 frames per second anymore.
