I'm playing SFIV right now and I have to say the losing of my fighting game virginity hurts. A lot.
I made a haiku comment.
But now I can't be bothered so leave me the fuck alone.
You are a haiku GOD!
On topic, amazing.
the sound of one hand fapping
well played, sir, well played
If I comment in haiku?
I don't give a crap.
I liked Punchout the best.
You messed up with Valkyria Chronicles too, the haiku was fine, but the score was wrong. It's a 10/10, silly rabbit.
Also: Hi, Boobie-lady made me lol
You win the prize good sir
for an awesome blog
Good job!
But of my god, YOU'VE PLAYED ALL THESE GAMES THIS YEAR?!
What the hell am I doing wrong with my free time?! Ç_Ç
I LOL'd several times.
