Hey, kids, wanna stab? Brett told us about theAssassin’s CreedMega Bloksonly to totally leave us hanging now that the toys are viewable online. Never did trust that guy. Makedonski? Obviously a phony last name.

Hopefully the booze will dull the pain of repeated failure Max and I are playing a beta build ofTitan Soulson PC.Titan Soulsis a balls-hard 2D action adventure game coming to PC, Mac, PlayStation 4, and Vita in 2015. We also have a couple of bottles of OmmeGang “Art of Darkness” Dark Ale.
