Holy game-playing brilliance Batman! Sorry but I had to do that. First, the plot. Batman has captured the Joker and is delivering him to Gotham’s legendary Arkham Asylum. The caped … Read More
Except it isn’t really is it? I just felt like stealing a headline that appears in nearly every Daily Mail issue ever. What is pretty fucked though is the underground … Read More
I’ve been up to fuck all recently as I just seem to work all the time. As I work freelance and am going on holiday to Thailand on the 10th … Read More
I finished this a few days ago and have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. It is just a shame that I don’t really think it is that … Read More
