See, this is what happens to me: I hear a weird song, or even a song I don’t like, and then I think “Hm, could I play that?..” and before you know it I have, in my repertoire, self-serious emo covers of “Teenage Dream” and “Wrecking Ball” that I try really hard not to laugh through. Read more

Just watching a YouTube video is really good advice, and something I used to do a lot way back when there were games I was curious about but knew I would never play. I always struggle to know when to, like, bite the bullet and accept I’ll never play something and just go to YouTube though! Read more
