I, um, remember playing Trog, and, um, probably getting a cold from the ball pit. Read more

I call it Jump Scare: The Game. Read more

thank u for trying, and thank u for being u Read more

I'm surprised the developer isn't calling these episodes, but maybe a full number sells better? Read more

Yeah, same! I didn't feel the same issues with Mass Effect. Read more

Hi McDioneo! Appreciate the feedback, even though we obviously disagree. Read more
