Solid new dance moves, too.

I’m pretty old! I’m like 53 or something, I’ve lost track. Read more

Nice, thanks! Yeah, I figured I could’ve done that with the puffballs - seems like they drop health pretty often. That said I didn’t want to bore the stream... though maybe that’s better than dying and having to replay stuff. Anyway, thanks for all the insight. I’m looking forward to playing 2 and 3, just to better Read more
