My SSB-specific code is 5026-4901-8645 but I don’t know how much I’ll mess with online play, at least until I unlock Snake.

…oh crap. Snake… SNAAAAKE!! (I gotta plow through the MGS Essentials collection before I get another few years behind the curve.)

I finished Soul Nomad, so its hold on me should be broken any time now. Though embarking on the EEeeeeEEEvvvIIILLLL alternate path probably wasn’t a wise idea given how addicted I was to it.

The urge for a classic doom and rage style game review burns in me, and I think I may have just the game lined up, so stay tuned.
