      I had so much fun with that thing, one time I combined a picture of the family dog with my stepdad and showed it to my mom and proudly told her this is what it would look like if they had kids. Another time I tried to make an action film with my brother, but it was mostly just footage of him doing what he considered crazy stunts (jumping on the hotel bed).

          She started laughing and asked me to print it out and she then stuck it on the fridge.

    Actually, I hit my friend in the thigh. Turns out it’s really hard to throw stuff blindfolded. You probably shouldn’t do it.

      Imagine missing a game so massive it has had a billion sequels, an MMO, and a 700 million dollar television series made because of it.

    I mean some of the games were just good for their time. But then there are games like Spyro the Dragon, Ocarina of Time, Half Life, Banjo Kazooie and GameBoy Camera that hold up still as some of the best games in their genre ever. Sonic Adventure has basically never been topped by a game in its franchise since. (At least as far as 3D action games in the sonic series are concerned)
