April 18, 2003

Most e-cards (online postcards) are sappy and irritating. So when one goes to Pickle Party and sees one titled “You’re Gay and We Know It,” well…

Wild Arms 3 – Review

April 18, 2003

Four strangers confront each other on a train and draw guns on each other in a John Woo style stalemate. Freezeframe, and pick whose shoes you want to walk in.
