If this is what it takes to get HamNo off his lazy ass and write a “Jaguars Junction” I’m all for it.
He is negotiating with the fyi network for NHL games right now 🙄
I actually wrote about that this last weekend.
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na...
I almost wavered. Almost. Buying .hack instead and renting Star Wars
I know Overwatch has been the site’s punching bag recently when it comes to microtransactions, but holy shit, how does a game company fuck up their $60 shooter with extra microtransactions this fucking badly when Overwatch exists as a hilariously obvious example of how to do it right?
