    Holiday Break Gaming

    This past Thanksgiving break, as was expected, I dropped a bit of minor cash on all the great sales digital distribution providers were offering.

    Longtime Akira Toriyama fan. Playing Chrono Trigger fifteen years late. Check. In theory, I like Japanese role-playing games, but ultimately do not finish the vast majority of ones that I actually start. Gotcha. All caught up? Let’s talk about the game, now! The following discussion will be filed under “Video Game Club” and placed behind…
