But my grandma Wunsch was a whole other story altogether.... Woah...that was like....80 years ago....Man, I'm old.... B

Volume 3: Video Games I have had the pleasure of living through all of the console generations. Here's what I got from all them years of rotting my brain or improving my hand-eye coordination....depending on what your opinion on the matter is. Game series will be counted as a single entry.

Sometimes I go for a little red red wine, and sometimes it's a little green green pine....sort of smelling....it fit the rhyme scheme, damnit..... The creativity is omni-present and unconquerable, but it can get a little difficult to sort out the chaos swirling arou
