| Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto liked Star Wars VII Posted: 04 Mar 2016 03:00 PM PST Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto is in good company: the Mario and Zelda creator did not like George Lucas' prequel trilogy, but did find Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens to be one of his favorite movies from 2015. Miyamoto told Game Informer, "There were a lot of good movies last year. One movie that I would have to talk about is Star Wars. It was a movie that I was very worried about. I really enjoyed the original three movies. But as they started to rely more on CG and computer graphics, I gradually stopped watching the Star Wars movies ... As a creator, I really respected their ability to take on the challenge and bring back some of the feelings that people had the first time they watched the movies." Pretty easy take to choke down. Not scalding at all. Miyamoto would never make it in a viral content mill. He was even more safe when asked about his favorite games of 2015, going with two new Nintendo ideas: Splatoon and Super Mario Maker. With the latter, "we’re seeing a lot of dads are playing together with their kids. That's made me really happy." "Our objective is always to try and make games that will sell for two years," Miyamoto said. "If we can do that, we can take our time with the next game." Does that make you feel any better about Nintendo never lowering the price of its first-party games? Shigeru Miyamoto Discusses His Favorite Movie And Games Of 2015 [Game Informer] |
| Splatoon shirts come to Dragon Quest X Posted: 04 Mar 2016 02:00 PM PST Japan is doing all kinds of #brand #synergy according to Japanese Nintendo, if you want to know what from the last Nintendo Direct is different for those living in Japan. For example, Dragon Quest X is free in Japan through the Nintendo eShop from March 14-31 and it comes with a couple of Splatoon shirts. Going the opposite direction, Japan is getting a Dragon Quest X-based Splatfest in Splatoon. |
| The Culling confirms humans are the real monsters Posted: 04 Mar 2016 01:00 PM PST I had filed away The Culling in my brain as "probably some bad horror movie," and a quick Google search later, hah, it totally is. But it's also a multiplayer PC title fashioned after Battle Royale and its ilk. At a glance, this is yet another survival game in which people do bad things to one another, but there are tweaks here that have me interested. It's a deadly game show set on an island with "just enough" room for all 16 players, and matches last around 20 minutes, "with deadly poison gas slowly constricting the arena in the final stages." Players can set up traps, bludgeon each other, or show off their rockin' abs. Depending on who you're up against, this could be tense or boring. "With no respawning on death, you have to make every action count. Play too cautiously and you won't be prepared for the final clash at the end of the match, too aggressively and you might not make it past the first few minutes." The game released today, a little ahead of schedule. It's up on Steam Early Access for $13.49. This is exactly the sort of thing I want to wait to try until after it has gone through Early Access, but until then, I suspect we'll see entertaining player videos in the same vein as DayZ and Rust. The developer, Xaviant, is targeting a 2017 release for the final version. Hope it goes smoothly! The Culling [Steam Early Access] |
| Tusk has some sick shorts in Killer Instinct Posted: 04 Mar 2016 11:45 AM PST We're inching closer to Killer Instinct's third season, which is set to drop on March 29, 2016 for Xbox One and also Windows 10. One of the upcoming characters is Tusk, a returning combatant. We recently got to peek at the warrior from behind and noted his extensive ink, but there was something else, something even more important, lurking just off-screen: shorts! Get your fill in this new trailer or, if you're quick, hop onto Iron Galaxy's livestream. I miss summer. |
| All the deals for next week's release of The Division Posted: 04 Mar 2016 11:00 AM PST Next Tuesday is judgement day of sorts, as Ubisoft releases its latest AAA title to face the gaming crowd. Will it flop? Will it be the next best thing since sliced bread? If you've already made up your mind from the beta and are looking for pre-order deals on Tom Clancy's The Division, we've got you covered. The outright best deal for the PC version are discounts reaching up to 30 percent off thanks to regional pricing magic. Games Planet and Funstock both have the title with preloading enabled and a pre-order bonus for around $42. Games Planet is sending out keys as of writing (no word on Funstock yet, let us know if you've bought from there and have your keys sent already). On consoles, if you want the 1TB The Division Xbox One Bundle, the best place to buy would be at Dell Home, where it's throwing in a $100 eGift Card as an extra incentive (effectively pricing that 1TB unit to $299.99). More details are listed below. The Division Pre-Order Deals Xbox One
Xbox One/PS4
PC Gold Edition
PC Standard Edition
Console deals break down into two categories: gift card bonuses or paid membership discount. Best Buy and Amazon are both offering 20% discounts on The Division, but you'll need to be either a Best Buy Gamers Club Unlocked member or an Amazon Prime member to snag the deal. If a membership fee isn't worth it, there are still gift card options. Dell Home is offering the aforementioned $100 bonus gift card for the 1TB bundle, or if you pick up the pricey $100 Gold Edition, you'll receive a $25 eGift Card for your trouble. The best place for an Xbox One owner to pick up a copy of The Division is likely at the Microsoft Store, where you'll receive a $10 Xbox gift card. Release-day delivery passed by this morning, but they should still be able to get the game to you within a day or two of release if you order this week. For the PC version, you'll have to shop across the pond for a good price on the Uplay copy, wherein you can pick up the Standard Edition for about £30 or the Gold Edition of The Division for £52. Both keys are NOT locked to any particular region, so you can activate the game worldwide if you buy from either Games Planet or Funstock Digital (without having to fiddle with any VPN). The final pricing will probably depend on your bank's exchange rate at time of transaction, but it shouldn't be too far off from the USD pricing we listed above. While Green Man Gaming has a discount available with its standard coupon, we're only listing it for the sake of comparison given that its key source is an "authorized distributor" and you won't receive your game key until release day (no pre-load or pre-order bonuses are available).

| Metal Gear Solid fan remake gets canceled Posted: 04 Mar 2016 10:00 AM PST Shadow Moses was supposed to be a remake of the original Metal Gear Solid in Unreal Engine 4, but now the developers have taken to Facebook to announce that the project is canceled: "We have an important announcement to make today: We have to cancel the Shadow Moses Project for reasons beyond our control. We would like to thank everyone for the tremendous support we have received." I'm pretty sure that "beyond our control" is a fancy way of saying "Konami made us stop." The developers did say they were in "conversations with Konami," so maybe this is just a front pending an officially sanctioned re-reveal at E3 this year. Jokes, I got them.

| Whoa, where did Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight come from? Posted: 04 Mar 2016 09:30 AM PST It's not every day I come across a cool-looking new game that turns out to be a part of a long-running series, but Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight is precisely that. It's the fourth installment in Bombservice's line of 2D action-platform titles, and it's out as of today on Playism and Steam. The first two Momodora games are playable for free, while Momodora III is only a few dollars. I'll have to set aside time to revisit the whole lot of 'em in sequence -- they look increasingly good! "For this fourth Momodora game, which is a prequel to the previous games, the primary focus during development was to improve on the gameplay and art," said the developer. "The combat gameplay has truly evolved since the days of Momo III, and the character sprites are now bigger and better animated. We also made an effort to include tiny details here and there, expand on the world lore, and create more exciting boss battles. I believe this is the best Momodora game in the series and definitely the most polished one." You know I'm all about that creepy centipede lady. |
| That impressive Morrowind mod for Skyrim is coming along Posted: 04 Mar 2016 09:00 AM PST Even if a game doesn't have groundbreaking progress to share, sometimes it's nice just to check in and hear that it's still in production. That goes double for passion projects like the mod Skywind. The folks behind this Morrowind mod for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim haven't stopped plugging away. Part four of the team's development video series serves as an overview as well as a call to arms. "The scope year by year has become more ambitious as we have had an increasing number of members and level of talent join the team. As such, the quality of the game has increased by huge magnitudes since its modest conversion, but with this increasing scope also comes a lot more time. We have reached significant milestones in realizing this dream, but we cannot estimate a release." In other words, it'll be ready when it's done. So until then, hang tight. "We know that with the community backing us, and much-needed volunteers stepping up to the challenge, that we will achieve what we set out to do: to recreate the world of Morrowind in an exciting and beautiful new way." |
| Steam has a whole bunch of Square Enix games on sale Posted: 04 Mar 2016 08:30 AM PST If you're keen to spend some money this weekend, Steam has a Square Enix sale that'll make your dollar go a little further. A bunch of titles from the publisher's many popular franchises are discounted until Monday. For those eyeing newer releases, Rise of the Tomb Raider is $47.99 and Just Cause 3 is $40.19. Beyond that, there are several older titles from the Hitman, Final Fantasy, Deus Ex, Tomb Raider, and Thief series that are much more affordable -- only a couple bucks in some instances. Or, if you're into killing many birds with one stone, there's an Eidos anthology that has 34 games and a lot of DLC that's going for $31.19. Go ahead and wander over to the sale; there's a good chance you'll find something you like. Square Enix Publisher Weekend [Steam] |
| Review: Razer Diamondback Chroma Posted: 04 Mar 2016 08:00 AM PST When it comes to the gaming mouse market, there's a very mixed set of options available to pick from. There's simple mice with a few extra buttons, as well as angular monstrosities capable of being modified to the ends of the earth. The Razer Diamondback fits more on the simple side of things, but excels mostly in regards to its form factor. It's hard to compare to any other mouse, just in terms of how it feels to hold and operate. |
| Wargaming and Disney just pulled out of E3 Posted: 04 Mar 2016 07:30 AM PST E3 is the biggest video game spectacle of them all. But, that spectacle will be notably less grand this year. Just today, two more game companies pulled out of the event. As reported by VentureBeat, both Wargaming and Disney decided that E3 isn't worth the effort this year. This news comes on the heels of EA announcing in January that it won't have a presence at the show, and, earlier this week, Activision did the same. Four companies that buy huge booth spaces -- often upwards of a million dollars in cost -- are taking a break in 2016. In a statement to VentureBeat, a Wargaming representative said "From a company perspective, we’re focusing a large majority of activities on events focused on our players and community. Whether it’s a small group of players or hundreds at one of our player gatherings, they’re our main priority. From a strictly business perspective, E3 just doesn’t fit our current direction. It’s a show that is very centralized on retail product, and as a free-to-play digital download gaming company, we’ve realized that while the show may be a good fit for lots of other publishers and developers, it’s currently not a great fit for us." Wargaming's direction seems to be the industry's general direction. Fan events are becoming the new E3. EA is hosting EA Play next door to E3 in the Nokia Theater. Disney says it plans to do something similar but hasn't yet elaborated with details. Last year, Nintendo held a pre-E3 Nintendo World Championships, and it was one of the obvious highlights of the week. E3 is changing whether the ESA wants it to or not. This trend indicates that the industry's biggest names don't necessarily rely on the show to the extent that they used to. They can get by on their own and that's a dangerous prospect for E3. The show might not be dying, but it definitely needs to adapt. E3 loses two more as Disney, Wargaming decide the show floor doesn't make sense [VentureBeat] |
| One simple step to get into the Uncharted 4 beta Posted: 04 Mar 2016 07:00 AM PST There's an Uncharted 4 beta happening this weekend, and you can be a part of it. It's so easy! All you have to do is download this, and you're in. One step. Boom shakalaka. Well, I guess you have to click that link and then queue up the download, so that's actually two steps. And, you have to turn on your PS4, so it's really three. It'd help if your TV were on too. Damnit, these clickbait articles are tougher than you'd think. I can see why scientists hate them so much.

| Okay, so Alan Wake's Return isn't the name of the next game Posted: 04 Mar 2016 06:30 AM PST Remedy Entertainment hasn't put the Alan Wake series to bed yet. The studio has said in the past that it "assumed from the get-go that there was going to be a sequel." Ever since Quantum Break went gold last month, Remedy has hinted at Alan Wake being its next project -- except the hinting is about as subtle as pointing a giant neon-lit arrow at the idea. The evidence ranges from Quantum Break easter eggs to a newly-filed trademark for the name "Alan Wake's Return." That trademark has been on a lot of people's minds, as it seems like the most likely nod to a relatively-imminent new Alan Wake reveal. Except it's not, apparently. Kotaku UK spoke with Remedy head Sam Lake about the trademark, and Lake confirmed that it's the name of an in-game video series. According to the report, Alan Wake's Return is a series of live-action mini episodes that star Lake. Alan Wake also had in-game entertainment in the form of short TV shows, so it makes sense that a sequel would too. As for any pertinent information confirming the next Alan Wake? Well, Lake deflected. "We are exploring possibilities and concepting different things, but lots needs to click into place for anything to happen. We will be the first to talk about it when there is something definite to talk about," he said. Alan Wake's Return Isn't A New Game [Kotaku UK] |
| Nintendo fondly remembers a time when it wasn't told to go fuck itself (Fauxclusive) Posted: 04 Mar 2016 06:00 AM PST While welcoming new employees to the Nintendo Tokyo Office, Shigeru Miyamoto fondly recalled a time in the company’s history when it wasn’t told go fuck itself whenever it announced a new game. Miyamoto, best known for creating the masterpieces that defined your childhood and also ruining that one game he totally ruined, gazed out a window at a herd of cranes flying westward as he recounted the bygone days when Nintendo’s Twitter feed wasn’t filled with people calling it a shitty company that doesn’t give a fuck about its fans. Sources say the new employees were absolutely enchanted by his tales of an era when a new game was something people looked forward to instead of something they hoped brought about an end to your business. Many of the new recruits were also shocked to learn that there was a period in Nintendo’s history when people didn’t start petitions to have its games canceled. “I’ve heard stories of this ancient epoch where people waited until a game was actually released before they passed judgement,” said artist Rini Ueda. “But I thought those were only myths and fabrications like the Raja Naga or a hamburger from Burger King that doesn’t give you diarrhea.” Miyamoto reportedly ended the 45-minute trip down memory lane by personally learning the name of each new employee and setting them off to work to try and figure out how to split the next Legend of Zelda title into three different games. |
| Friday Night Fights - Let's hear it for the boys! Posted: 04 Mar 2016 05:30 AM PST Good day and a hot dickings to you folks! How is your Friday treating you? Mine is quite lovely as I am only 4-5 hours (of work) away from my first free time of the month. I am very excited and plan to use this time to chafe my dick. Well, play Witcher III and eat good food too. Mainly the dick chafing though. I'm going in DRY AND HARD FOLKS! WOOOOO! Speaking of chafing, how's everyone's wallets doing? Been an odd start to the year, with a lot of seemingly must-haves hitting. We have officially entered into TOO MANY GAMES territory. It's fucking wonderful. In FNF related new game stuffings, anyone else pick up PvZ: GW 2? It is soooooo damn good and incredibly, fully featured. Much love to EA for doing right by this one. We also are seeing The Division drop next week. Anyone plan on picking that up? I was won over by the beta, and am getting close to done with Destiny, so I'll be on there. What about you folks? |
| These Mirror's Edge Catalyst clips summarize the best and worse parts of the first game Posted: 04 Mar 2016 05:00 AM PST If the first Mirror's Edge had zero combat mechanics, I'd be happy with it. But EA is still going with that angle with Catalyst, noting that "fluid combat is the one key pillar in the gameplay." If you say so! Though the removal of gunplay is a good start. But that's just one side of the coin. The "movement" video makes the game look as fantastic as ever, and I'm really anxious to see what they can do with the new game world and the time trial functionality. If they can pack in more stages like the abstract ones from the DLC, I could be playing this for months on end. Also, that swing move at 0:45 below? ::swoon:: |
| Azure Striker Gunvolt 2 is set for a summer 2016 release Posted: 04 Mar 2016 04:30 AM PST I know I've said this before but I still find the whole Mighty No. 9 delay situation hilarious. At this point we have not only one, but two Azure Striker Gunvolt games that will likely come out by Inti Creates (who is co-developing Mighty) before it's actually released -- and they were both announced after Mighty was Kickstarted. But let's focus on the present here. Azure Striker Gunvolt 2, it looks great! And it's coming in the summer of 2016, based on yesterday's Nintendo Direct. Players will be able to select both Gunvolt and Copen, and the game itself will be priced at $14.99 on 3DS. No word on a PC port yet. |
| Nintendo is publishing Shovel Knight in Japan Posted: 04 Mar 2016 04:00 AM PST Shovel Knight has been a hit in just about every country it was released in, and now it's ready to make the journey over to Japan. As announced yesterday, Nintendo is going to be taking care of publishing duties. It's a perfect match, honestly. I'm sure developer Yacht Club Games already has rapport with the publisher due to the amiibo situation, and the game itself couldn't be a better fit for the Japanese audience. Funnily enough, all I can think about is how almost no one will be able to play the badass Battletoads version, because hardly anyone owns an Xbox One in Japan.

| The next League of Legends champion is Aurelion Sol, a cosmic dragon Posted: 04 Mar 2016 03:30 AM PST No matter what you think of League of Legends or MOBAs in general, there's no denying that Riot Games can make a mean trailer -- for a simple character, no less! The newest champ on the scene is Aurelion Sol, who is a dark cosmic dragon of sorts, and you can get a quick look at his design here. Sol actually began his life as a character named Ao Shin, who was eventually folded into one champion. As always, League teaser trailers tend to accompany an impending full release, so you'll see him sooner than later. |
| Pocket Card Jockey, that Game Freak horse racing game, is coming west! Posted: 04 Mar 2016 03:00 AM PST For nearly three years, westerners have lived without access to Pocket Card Jockey. It's been a hard time for sure, but now we have some light at the end of that ardous tunnel. Nintendo announced yesterday by way of its Nintendo Direct that Game Freak's Pocket Card Jockey will get a localization. It's set to arrive in May on 3DS. In essence, it's Solitaire set to the backdrop of silly, over-the-top horse races. I'm sure it's not going to be amazing, but we could use more goofy games on the market. |
| Folks who buy amiibo: Do you want the Kirby line? Posted: 04 Mar 2016 02:30 AM PST Nintendo sent over some hi-res screenshots for the new Kirby amiibo line that will work with Kirby: Planet Robobot, but this really begs the question -- does anyone want them? Much like the Mario line, there's only one actual new figure here (Waddle Dee, like Toad before him), and the rest exist by way of the Smash series. Assuming they're easy to get I think I'm going to pick them up because my wife is a huge Kirby fan, but Nintendo is pushing it with all of these amiibo sub-series. As an aside, the entire lot is up for pre-order now on Amazon Japan. |
| The Legend of Zelda invades Google Maps Posted: 04 Mar 2016 02:00 AM PST Google is known for its silly video game Easter eggs, although this one won't be hard to find. All you have to do is go to Google Maps today, head to the lower right-hand corner where you'd normally find the little guy to fling around, you can fling Link instead. That's basically it! Google hasn't officially commented on the extra yet (though Nintendo sent a note over this morning explaining its involvement), but the launch of Twilight Princess HD on Wii U today is to blame! Google Maps [Google] Thanks Rod! |
| We need to see more of Nintendo of Europe's president Satoru Shibata Posted: 04 Mar 2016 01:30 AM PST I like Bill Trinen's dad jokes as much as the next guy, but Nintendo of Europe's Satoru Shibata stole the show yesterday in the separate UK Nintendo Direct. In an adorable move reminiscent of the legendary Satoru Iwata, Shibata celebrated the impending release of Yo-Kai Watch over in Europe the only way he knew how -- by dancing along to the TV show's closing credit sequence. The promo starts innocently enough with the show's characters on-screen and all of a sudden there's Shibata, dancing along! You can watch it for yourself at 19:00 in the below video. You heard it here first folks -- I'm officially starting a petition to get Reggie Fils-Aimé to do his own rendition of the dance. In the meantime, getting more Shibata with our Nintendo Directs wouldn't be a bad thing. Nintendo Direct UK [YouTube via Kotaku] |
| Star Fox Zero was expanded to feel like a 'more robust' Star Fox game Posted: 04 Mar 2016 01:00 AM PST During an interview with IGN, Miyamoto shared some more information about Star Fox Zero, including reasons for the delayed release date, gameplay improvements, amiibo functionality, and Star Fox Guard. It seems the delay was partially due to fan feedback. Nintendo originally went with a more casual “pick-up-and-play” style where you could choose whichever mission you wanted to play for quick sessions. It has since been changed to feel like a “more robust, bigger Star Fox game” after fans mentioned the original idea didn't feel true to the franchise. Maps have been expanded upon with a focus on shortcuts and alternate paths, better AI and enemy placement, and other such improvements. Miyamoto touched on some of the amiibo functionality as well. The Fox amiibo will unlock the Retro Arwing skin, so players can fly around as the simple, Super Nintendo-style Arwing. It's a neat addtion, even if it looks a bit bizarre next to the textured backgrounds. He also mentioned there will be one more piece of amiibo content that they plan to reveal soon. 5 big questions about Star Fox Zero answered [IGN] |
| PixelJunk Monsters, Super Meat Boy officially confirmed for Wii U Posted: 04 Mar 2016 12:30 AM PST After a long period of teasing and "will they or won't they" Twitter pictures, we now have confirmation that Super Meat Boy will hit the Wii U at some point in the future. We know this from the Nindies sizzle reel on the Nintendo UK YouTube landing page -- a video that wasn't broadcasted in the US edition of yesterday's Direct. Also slated for the Wii U is PixelJunk Monsters, which started life as a series for Sony platforms before moving into PC. You can also get a good look at all the other indies coming to Nintendo platforms too if you're so inclined -- a few of them look great. [Thanks Jaden!] |
| Epic CEO dumps on Microsoft's new Windows initiative: 'We must fight it' Posted: 04 Mar 2016 12:00 AM PST [Update: Microsoft's Phil Spencer has fired back and Sweeney seems to be open to a future with Windows.] When Epic Games talks about anything PC related, I listen. The company has been around the block, and now, its CEO isn't having what Microsoft is selling with Windows. By way of a column on The Guardian, Epic CEO Tim Sweeney is calling for an all-out war against the platform, stating upfront, "we must fight it." Sweeney contends that the shop is as closed as it's ever been (a frequent criticism of Apple), and that developers who don't take part in the new Universal Windows Platform tenets can't access certain features. His manifesto does a good job of breaking down exactly why the new system is dangerous for developers and consumers alike, so I suggest giving it a read when you have the chance. |
| Buying an amiibo grants you early access to Mini Mario & Friends amiibo Challenge Posted: 03 Mar 2016 11:30 PM PST Nintendo is taking amiibo ownership and gating to the next level. As per its Nintendo Direct presentation yesterday, it announced that Mini Mario & Friends amiibo Challenge would allow for an early access period of roughly one month for anyone who purchases an amiibo from March 25 on from Amazon, Best Buy, and GameStop. Everyone else will have to wait until April 28, 2016 when it will hit for free. It's uh, weird to say the least, especially for everyone who already has a sizable amiibo collection and doesn't necessarily need to buy anymore at that exact time. Plus, the next wave goes out March 18 -- bad timing (or is it "good" marketing timing?). Evidently 10 amiibo figures will work with the game, Mario, Diddy Kong, Luigi, Rosalina, Toad, Bowser, Peach, Bowser Jr., Donkey Kong, and Yoshi. Each individual toy will host its own set of levels and powers. |
| So that's what happened to Project Guard Posted: 03 Mar 2016 11:00 PM PST Blink, and you missed it. Yesterday, Nintendo announced Star Fox Guard, which is to be bundled in with Star Fox Zero when it hits the Wii U in April. But did you remember Project Guard, unveiled in 2014 where Miyamoto envisioned players using 12 security cameras to thwart foes? Yep, they are one in the same. For almost two years, the ominous Project Guard had been listed under Platinum Games' development cycle, not knowing if it would ever come to fruition. Now it can check yet another game off its list, and it thankfully wasn't one of those Nintendo tech demos that is forgotten, and never spoken of again. Compare the new look with the old tech demo below. Normally I wouldn't be interested, but this seems like it only exists because it's a Miyamoto passion project, so I'll give it a chance. It could end up being a fun little Nintendo Land-esque minigame. |

| Double the cash/RP in GTA Online this week Posted: 03 Mar 2016 09:00 PM PST According to our friends at VG24/7, Rockstar is running another double cash and RP promotion for all Versus Missions in GTA Online over the next week. This is reportedly in addition to the recent double cash/RP deal that expired yesterday. For those of you with empty aircraft hangers, are also discounts on aircraft like the Annihilator, Valkyrie, Buzzard and Savage helicopters, and private jets including that solid gold Luxor Deluxe which just screams modesty and class. And that’s not all. If you need a rocket launcher or two, the homing launcher’s discounted, along with the ammo you need to go with it. As yet I can’t confirm or deny this as Rockstar has yet to formally report on it, but - as always - I’ll keep you posted. ‘Cos I’m nice like that. If you thought the hype around Grand Theft Auto V - and specifically, the multiplayer component GTA Online - was over, think again. Addressing an earnings briefing, CEO of Rockstar’s publisher Take-Two said that even two years on, players continued to be “highly engaged” with the multiplayer game. HAPPY FRIDAY! <3 |
