IronChef_Kirby 01/31/22 4:21:20 PM #5:	I felt the same way. It was mildly interesting to just live in that world and watch the characters do their thing for a couple hours, but in the end it wasnt a very evocative or memorable experience. --- "Bro Just Let Me Karate Chop You And You Can Have As Many Skateboards As You Want" <cite>IronChef_Kirby posted [p:962247562] in 'Power of ...
