34:02My name is Dr. Lisa. My name is Paul Brunson. More couples. This could be the start of a very successful marriage. And more surprises. Or maybe not. Everything is just not enough.

34:12Blessing Adeoye Jr.:You're a little bit crazy. I don't know what's going to happen. I want my fairy tale ending. Married at First Sight, now streaming. New episodes Thursdays, only on Peacock. I don't know what you're talking about. He's talking about Soul Stone. Could be the Soul Ring. Remember, it's Thanos, and he's doing this. That's the one everybody wants. Yeah, but isn't that like a different pack? That's not the Spider-Man one. No, I thought that wasn't a Spider-Man. All right, back to you. All right, we'll talk about it. Yeah, we'll figure it out. I'll tell you what, Greg, magic's on the mind. I know, magic is on the mind.

34:40Let me tell you what, on Saturday, I told this to Bless. We were going to do Sunday, too. Had a giant, me and Bless together. And on Saturday, I went to bed, and I closed my eyes, and I was dreaming about magic. I could see the cards laid out on the table. I was picking different matchups. I was thinking about combos to tell Bless about. I had so much fun with it. Yeah. God. God, what a game. What a game. What a game. What a game. imagine the gathering be my 2025 game of the year because you know barrett might have to deal with it we'll see you just put the spider-man thing on there you're fine story number two we got a baby

35:12Blessing Adeoye Jr.:steps review roundup for you right now on metacritic it is sitting at the 77 on open critic it's at a 75 travis northup at ign gave it a 9 out of 10 and says i wasn't expecting one of my favorite games of 2025 to be about a socially awkward blob in a stained onesie with such poor motor skills that he ragdolls to the ground on the slightest of uneven surfaces but here we are baby steps is a triumphant quirky physics game that asks you to challenge yourself both with alluring hiking obstacles that had me screaming to the heavens and a shockingly unconventional story and characters that ended up feeling like family by the end despite centering itself around intentionally awkward controls it has a deceptive level of depth that made me eager to master it And I got incredibly lost in the sauce as I tried to best its most daunting challenges.

36:01Blessing Adeoye Jr.:If you like a good laugh, extreme difficulty, or just hate yourself, then I can't recommend Baby Steps enough. Robert Purchese at Eurogamer gave it a 4 out of 5 and says, Baby Steps walks a fine line between frustration and accomplishment to provide a walking simulator and climbing experience quite unlike anything else. And then lastly, Ethan Krieger at DualShockers gave it a 4 out of 10. And I'm looking at the Metacritic. Here's where it all goes wrong. because it's all all green here right 90 90 80 80 80 a 70 a 70 a 65 a 60 a 40 a 40 uh from dual shockers who says i tried hard to be in one i tried hard to be in on the joke of baby steps for the first hour but it lost me insanely quickly the thing is i don't i don't think it even cares the quapiness of the movement actually the quapiness of the movement actually is well done and there are some moments of absurdity that worked for me it then shifts it then just shifts too far from a stupid but fair rage game to a stupid but cheap feeling rage game with no redeeming qualities you'll painfully wander aimlessly for hours you'll cringe hard at the humor they put humor in quotes that gets way too gratuitous gross and vulgar completely unjustifiably this becomes a mostly mean-spirited game that once that even wants to drive you insane with the soundtrack laugh and watch someone else experience it if you want to but do not play it yourself.

37:22Mike,

37:23Blessing Adeoye Jr.:you have been reviewing Baby Steps. What are your thoughts on the game? Blessing, Greg, I had a really great time with Baby Steps. I fell in love with this game. This game is a ton of fun to play and is also super weird to the point where I need to talk to somebody. I'm going to call up Bennett Foddy on the phone and I got to ask him some questions. I would love to sit down because there's some really weird stuff in this game but at its core, behind the physic based adventure game that it is. It is really, really fun. You take the world of Nathan. He's a 35 year old living in his parents' basement, watching one piece.

38:02He gets teleported. It's a lot like you kind of funny best friends. And it is his goal to, you know, go out there and find the path and take his own path. And you'll meet a bunch of crazy characters along the way. You'll say to yourself, what the heck is going on here? but at its core, you'll love the challenge. Of course, finding the different paths along the hiking trails, going out and exploring this giant open world. That is just as one large mountain that circles all the way around. I've walked the whole entire mountain in a full circle to see what happens. Talk to me, Greg. I got so many questions.

38:34You and me play this at GDC. We loved it. And that's hilarious that they made it. They made hollow night inside their thing. We enjoyed it. It was funny. All the, you know, all the VOs ad libbed and it's this and it's that. and I liked what I played when review code came around. It's review season. We are all on different projects. We're all getting ready for a million different reviews. I got it and I wasn't disappointed that I couldn't tackle it right away. I found it because I sat there and I was like, well, is this one of those games that demos really well? And it's a funny demo for the 30 minutes, but I don't want to put how many hours you put into it.

39:1113 hours, 13 hours in it. Or is there something more to it? is there is the narrative like what made you enjoy the 13 hour long experience the exploration okay and the wow factor of i don't only have to stick on the path now mind you the golden path there's multiple paths to get up to the top of the summit but while you're going on this adventure you will see different points of interest along this open world mountain right that you'll say oh i want to go do that and there are all these fun little challenges maybe you climb to the top of this small challenge, you'll get a little cute hat that Nathan will wear.

39:48Or you'll climb to the top of a tree and you'll grab a piece of fruit. You'll get this awkward first person kind of helmet down GoPro camera angle of him eating a fruit. Very awkward. Very funny. But there's a lot of these challenges that say, hey, like, let's smell the flowers. Let's take a little bit of time here and enjoy. We don't have to go just to the summit unless you want to. And that's where I started to find a lot of the love was like, I was crushing it, Greg. Okay, there I was. watch out for this beautiful dog there i was stepping greg and i'm you learn your first baby you gotta go jim when you're going out here and so you start doing the quop right and shout to bennett fotti we're going to talk about bennett fotti in a little bit because i love that he uses his name because you immediately go to some of the games he's created quop getting over it with bennett fotti he had a great 2019 gdc uh uh panel with him and another developer about encouraging indie game devs to put their names on the title of their games so their audience can start understanding them and talking to them.

40:48Loved that. I want to throw a time out real quick. We definitely have people in the car who aren't going to be able to see you and maybe don't even understand what QWOP is. What are you doing? People know what QWOP is. There's definitely people listening to the show who do not know what QWOP was. You didn't know what QWOP is? No, never. Is this an age thing? I feel like QWOP was like a fucking QWOP is a web-based You have to run a 100-meter yard track and field dash. It's a flash game We're using just the KW and OP buttons to move each limb. To move pieces of the legs. Almost stick figure like.

41:15There you go. Nitrogen mustard didn't know. So we're helping you. Okay. And so, yeah, that was quap. That was the big breakout hit. Making the guy walk is the game unto itself. Yes. Because it's not just normal. Exactly. So you are using the L2R2 to take your left foot and your right foot. Right? So every time you hold, he'll step forward. And when you let go, he'll lift up. Oh, no. when you let go, he'll step up. So you're following the motion of like you'll get into this really good rhythm on flat ground of your full you'll feel the full R2L2 pulls of left, right, left, right. And then the fun part is as you go up this mountain, you'll encounter different terrain on this hiking trail, right?

41:57Whether it be mud, just dried up land, sand, snow, and each one of those make you think okay, well I should be using a different kind of step here. So when you get to the icy snow, you want to take small penguin steps, right? You want to keep it tight because you don't want to lose your balance doing this and then doing the splits, right, Bless? And then when you get up to the sand, the sand is going to start moving underneath your feet. So I started taking wider angled steps to try to get up in the sand, right? The way this man's shoes sound like they're sticking like Spider-Man. And so there I was having so much fun learning these challenges, right?

42:32And then I'd go off to the side and there'd be a fun challenge. Like there's a bridge or There's a mine cart track, right? And you're following the little planks underneath the railroad mine cart, right? And then it's like, oh, guess what? The planks are gone. What are you going to do, Greg? You're going to walk on the rail. And so then I'm tippy-toeing on the rail to get across this, right? But then, get this, my mind was blown. So you meet a bunch of cast and crew, different characters all over the place. You meet Mike. He was funny. And Mike, he's funny. He's a badass. He's out there hiking.

43:02He's a noob. But then he becomes a veteran. Mike says, I'm going to the train car challenge. And I said, God damn it, Mike, what is that? It's exactly what you think. Think Uncharted. Think Mission Impossible. It's a train car hanging off the side of a cliff. And so at first, I'm going in and I'm doing my normal. I'm taking large steps to try to put my feet on briefcases, to put my feet on different couches and train seats. And I'm getting up to the first part, but then I get to the second part of the challenge, where it's a little more angled. and I can't get it. And then my mind explodes, right?

43:37It's like, I can now get up on this suitcase, but I can turn my body and I can start stepping vertically. So now I'm up on top of things and I'm moving like this and I'm on top of the rail card seats and I'm climbing over them. And my mind starts exploding with the idea of the different things that I can do in this 3D space, right? And now I'm having so much fun. And so I've reached to the top of the summit. I'm looking for my buddy. And we get into the weird stuff. And that's why I like attaching the name Bennett Foddy to it, right? Because if you think of Bennett Foddy, you think of QWOP. We also think of getting over it with Bennett Foddy, where he added dialogue into the game that would kind of talk with the player.

44:23And he would talk about the challenges that he made. And then at the very end, he talks to you directly and says like, hey, thank you for playing my game. Thank you for getting over it with me It's like oh that's really cool And so I started looking him up Because at first grade he was like what's a Bennett Foddy game Is that like some term we made up And then I was like oh it's a human being And I started looking him up and he had some really interesting stuff He was born in New York Then he moved to Australia So there's that Australian humor that we heard Flight of the Concords New Zealand, Australia you get that tone And I'm like okay I'm picking it up But then there's like this theme Going on of like this 35 year old man named Nathan who's taken bong rips in his parents' basement, right?

45:04But there's something more to it that I want to talk with him about. Do I need to book this man? You should do a stream with him when you interview him. I would love to talk with him because it was very interesting. I'm going to get you on an email with his people. But he studied, he became a moral philosopher on topics of drug addiction. And so there's this weird part of it. I didn't know that about Petit Boney. And so there's this theme going on that clearly ties to him and his personal life. The drug addiction and stuff that I don't want to spoil. I want you to go explore and learn about. But there was moments where I'm like, what the hell is going on here?

45:36What are we doing? And so, yeah, I really, really liked this game. Eight out of ten on the kind of funny scale. It's a great experience. It's going to be great for streamers out there. If you want a rage game where you fall over, laugh with your audience. If you're just a fan of, like, these fun physics-based games and you want to kind of just take a hike at your own leisurely pace, go out there and play it. you're going to find your own way to step and have a really good time. And then as well, I played this probably five hours on the Steam Deck. It is Steam Deck verified day one, and it runs very well.

46:11So, yeah, if you want something on the go, if you fall in love with this game and just want more of it, go check it out on the Steam Deck because it runs really, really well on that. And so, yeah, the, you know, my only, I wouldn't even call it a negative, but the one thing that did annoy me was the music. You know, I believe Ethan puts it in there. There is an odd soundtrack in here. There's a very odd, like it's supposed to be something. You got to ask him what the thought process was because it's just noises, Greg. It goes from dead silence or like some really soft ambient noise of you and your feet.

46:45And you can like you're picturing yourself on the hiking trail to then just like really weird sounds like Greg. It's like you're smashing two trash cans. blessing is now quacking like a duck and i'm like oh all those sounds i love that that sounds great if that was skate i'd be holding on l3 yeah it's invading your brain and like ah shut this stuff up and so like there's part of me that's like that was like throwing me off my game but did he want me to throw me off my game why didn't he put like a soft soundtrack in there what's the thought process there so really the only thing i didn't like i guess was the soundtrack at the end but sometimes I liked it.

47:25Sometimes I didn't. There's some challenges that I want to go back to, right? I'm at the summit right now. I'm at the very end of this game. I'm going to finish this, but I want to go back. There's a, there's a challenge in there that I want to complete. And I want to be able to say snow bike. Mike did this, right? This is one of those when Tim Geddes beat cuphead and put it on his Twitter profile or his blue sky, his BS, BS Tim. I want to do that. I want to beat this challenge because this challenge is super badass inside of this game. So there's a bunch of fun challenges. This game is a ton of fun.

47:59If you know what you're getting into, you're going to love it. It's a beautiful open world. A lot of challenges. A lot of paths to take. A really weird story. Some fun characters. Some odd characters. All in all, I had a great time with this. I was surprised that I loved it as much as I did. I was surprised that I keep thinking about it. I don't know why I kept spending 13 hours in it. But I'm going to go back for more. Could you have gotten through it faster? Yeah, definitely. I think they said like eight hours if you main path it. But I mean, at the same time, what's eight hours to them to eight hours to me as a noob, right?

48:31I'm still learning and growing. But I got up there. I mean, if I think I'm at the end where I'm at, you could probably haul ass and get up there within that eight hours maybe. But there's so much to do. There's so much to see. And there's going to be so much failure that you'll have that you'll have to overcome and get better at. But yeah, from all the different biomes and different path and trail conditions, there was some really fun stuff. I really enjoyed it. I loved learning the feet and the movement of like, I think of a river and I think of just post hanging out of the river. And you have to go like one foot to the other foot.

49:08And I got really good at the quick step bless, right? Where it's like, I know I want to put one foot down, but I quickly want to take another step and I want to get up, right? So it was like a really fast movement. And you would have to play with the triggers. you'd also be playing with your uh kind of weight above your top part of your body with the stick there so yeah really good really good really good play this game really good play this game baby steps oh yeah that's a great review mike thank you so much for that thank you don't leave just

49:32Blessing Adeoye Jr.:yet i got super chat for you rikusan rosen writes in and says so that trails in the sky remake i recommended to blessing is sitting at a 91 on metacritic snow bike mike deserves a w for trying out the demo and falling in love mike sell him on this top tier jrpg whoa bless are you looking to take an old school JRPG journey. No. Okay? Let me tell you what. It might be time to open up your heart and give this a try because I really liked this. I didn't think I was going to dig it. Of course, these are two, you know, well, the young boy gets saved by the dad. Then he's got a daughter. They become best friends.

50:06They become adventurers. Maybe the dad is like the number one super soldier and they want to become part of the soldier unit. They go out. They get a job. They become soldiers. Right? That's the lead up to where we're going. But it's got this really cool blend of real-time combat into turn-based combat where you can hack and slash and you can smash X, a.k.a. square or triangle or Y on different things. But then you can be like, stop turning to turn-based combat, right? So you get this advantage using the real-time combat. Then you turn into turn-based combat, which has a really fun flow. It's super fast.

50:40It's really cool. Fun characters. Good world. I'm into this game. Hell yeah. All right. I appreciate that sales pitch. Mike you gonna play that game no but I'll and it's not anything against the game it's more so JRPGs to just take time yeah and this time to be back to last year I played I played metaphor and I played Persona 3 reload last year and that's like 200 hours of game time so this year I was like I'm taking a break but I appreciate that I'll look into it before I leave one more skated last night skate or die dude I fucking am reviewing Ghost of Yoteh right review Thursday everybody get hyped my eyes start to get drowsy and I'm like I'm not going to do this game a disservice.

51:17I'm going to go to bed. It's 1115. And I'm like, but what if I just do one run of skate? I got cold beans cuddled up next to me. I jump in. I do the run. I look at the time. It is now 1207. God damn it. I've been finding the urge because I've also been reviewing things and I do the skate urge is real. It's going to be a bad when we get a gap in the review season is going to be bad for me. How much skate I'm about to play. So last night, I always invite the audience to come play with me. I keep the party open because they play for me. That's the secret. I don't know if you know, but the challenge is you can get in a four-player challenge and if Bless gets four stars, you get four stars.

51:55So I just tell them, you play. You know what I mean? You can play for me. The classic mic move. So I turn the music down. I turn up the Earth, Wind, and Fire radio because you know we had to be jammed to some funk and we're getting funky out there. This game rocks, man. A lot of naysayers. A lot of people uptight about it. A lot of naysayers. And I get it. Why listen to your guys' reviews? You were some of them. We were worried about this early access live service, but at the core of it, it's just fun to play and the world is good. It's got everything I want from super rails to mega jumps. It's got fun street skating.

52:27I enjoy it. I hope that they add more, but like as of right now, we got a good game on our hands. It's funny how you're like, yeah, you're like, oh man, in the review games cast, I really listened to it. You're like, yeah, you know, I burned through it all. I did all the challenge or whatever. And like last time I turned it on, it's like the clock's like you and it doesn't say this, but you and Ben have played like four hours, five hours, and we're still in the tutorials because we just run and skate. We're not even doing the thing. I'm like, oh, man. So much shit to do. So many boxes to unlock.

52:50I was like, man, I did everything, and then I show up the next day, and they're like, here's 12 more challenges. I'm like, oh, shit, I got a lot to do. Yep, yep, yep.

52:56Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Mike, thank you so much for joining us. Thank you. Let's move on to story number three. PlayStation trophies will now unlock the ability to purchase real-life merchandise. Why am I into this? Why am I into this? I want to do this so bad. I looked at the stuff. I'm like, I don't really want to buy any of this. Is this not what we've been asking for for a very long time out of trophies? I mean, well, make them matter. Make them do something cool. Make them actually do something. This is from Jordan Midler at Video Games Chronicle. PlayStation has launched franchise rewards, which will allow players to purchase exclusive merchandise if they've earned the corresponding in-game trophy.

55:48Blessing Adeoye Jr.:This is from Rebecca Valentine at IGN. Palworld is getting its first ever official spinoff game from developer Pocket Pair, and it's looking just a little bit cozier than the original game. It's called Palworld Palpharm, and as the name implies, you and your gaggle of pals will be farming, crafting, and living a life on the land together on an adventure that looks far more Harvest Moon or Stardew Valley than Palworld. Pocket Pair announced the game today with a brand new trailer and a Steam page. These reveal that Pal Farm will be a slice of life farming and crafting sim set on the Palpagos Islands where familiar pals will join you to build a dream farm.

56:27Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Alongside growing plants, you can cook with pals, shop at their stores, give them gifts, and no, no, you can eat them. Oh, no, he says... No, no, you can eat them! I read that wrong. It is, no, no, you can't eat them. Ah, okay, okay. I got excited there. Of course not. not this time they're farming buddies not food while pal farm does seem to be more focused on the cuddlier aspects uh or yeah cuddlier aspects of life with pals including allowing the player to pet pals and even get married to other humans with pals matchmaking and officiating it's not without its edges the trailer includes a look at a black market where where you can yes get a gun notably the trailer showed off a number of pals that you can join to help help on the farm including what seems to be one unannounced new pal segment uh that's working with anubis as a blacksmith the steam page also makes makes it clear that most player will be an option pop farm doesn't have a release date yet and so far only appears to be in development for pc via steam though given power world trajectory it's possible other platforms are in the cards for later on uh so they're making an animal crossing here looks like yeah in more detail in a lot of different ways or whatever it's interesting again to see this ip that's so so much turmoil around copyright infringement come out with something else that's just like well now we're gonna go after this game and harvest moon and everything else like okay yeah okay i do love the man even the text box here looks like animal crossing but then you have to yeah tom nooks always put a gun to his head yeah i very interesting to see a company that is being chased after by Nintendo for copyright here.

58:07Be like, yeah, and we're going to do an Animal Crossing with it too. Come at us. God bless them. Very interesting stuff.

58:13Blessing Adeoye Jr.:I expect this is you pretty well. Oh, yeah. Just based on the original PAL world and then the way people have flocked to these kind of games before. It looks great. Let's move on to story number five, which is a very interesting one. I just titled this. We need to watch the trailer for this game. It's a seven minute trailer. I'm going to read over it. Kevin, you can just put it in the background. Do I need to hear it? Listen? You don't need to listen. Okay. Because the visuals will be enough. All right? The name of this game is called Ananta. I'm pulling from an article from TechRadar that says, Ananta looks like GTA VI meets Spider-Man 2, and you'll be able to play it on your phone for free.

58:49This is from Dachio Wood at TechRadar. Wait a second. And aesthetically, it looks like one of them Genshin games. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But chat and people listening, think like Doke-AV, but way crazier as far as what this trailer is doing.

59:01Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Okay, there's the Spider-Man flying. there's the gta of it jumping into the article they say here publisher net ease games has released a lengthy new trailer for the upcoming free game ananta it shows off its giant open world lots of bombastic melee combat loads of shooting a few car chases some kind of walking toilet creature and pretty much everything else you could possibly want from a video game creature seriously there's so much crammed into this new seven minute long gameplay reel that it's hard to know where to begin set in the futuristic nova city i suppose ananta would be best described as gta 6 meets spider-man 2 from what i've seen so far you play as the captain captain of a special task force on some kind of quest to save the world with this with an eccentric team of playable characters combat seems to be a big focus with allies wielding guns and rocket launches for ranged confrontations or relying on yakuza style improvised melee combat up close i spotted loads of different traversal methods it's like punisher including speedy cars slick wingsuits and gooey web slinging that would put peter parker to shame social media appears to play a significant role in the universe too with plenty of characters seen taking selfies and scrolling on their phones ananta also looks absolutely stunning with its beautifully clean anime art style and open urban vistas this seems particularly impressive right out of spider-man this entire scene we've done this this seems particularly impressive given the fact that the game is not only coming to ps5 and pc but also to mobile phones there's no official release date yet so gregor halfway through this trailer what do you think about what you're saying this is the problem though with all these netties and like the gotcha games is like they always look cool yeah and then i get in and play i'm like oh this isn't hitting the way i want it to hit this is a game as you watch if you have a listener if you're not like it is everything they've described which is like can you possibly be good at all that can it possibly feel good because now we're very much into the gta section after just seeing this man have venom you're walking around wielding the symbiote like what the fuck is going this looks cool this looks so much like spider-man this looks another copyright infringement yes it looks awesome but like is it going to be fun to play yeah it's a weird one because i've had it both ways where i remember first seeing genshin impact and being like damn this looks like Zelda I started playing Ganesha and Impact and I was like damn this is a really impressive video game like that shit actually I think lived up to a lot of the promises and then the gotcha stuff was the stuff where I was like okay I don't like this at all it feels like it is overly monetized it's free to play so you expect that but of course I just didn't enjoy that experience and then Zenless Zone Zero was the one where I was like this looks fucking incredible and then I started playing it immediately it was like no I'm good I don't like how this plays and so it's hard to know what to expect.

1:01:47Do they just do a GTA character swap they did yes jesus jesus ananta is the name of this game in in the era where we're increasingly getting more and more of i guess this brand of games it seems like they're getting more and more budget too yeah i wouldn't be surprised if like a lot of this actually functions as it looks yeah no no no i i definitely don't think we're being sold a false bill of goods here it's more of like will the combat feel good will the there's a spider bot will the combat feel good will the narrative make sense for what you're doing and why you're doing it will it have its outside of gotcha hooks a reason to come back and play it again like i'm not yeah i think net ease continues to make money hand over fist and i do think they keep putting it back into their games to take them to another level in terms of what they're doing but it's always that question of will this be the one that grabs console gamers pc gamers in a way that isn't just i mean i think they do already right like these games have a gigantic audience like we see we've seen the bus advertisements for but i then i i and again i'm but i will they grab the greg millers i know i'm saying yeah i'm coming back are they gonna grab are they are they picking up core gamers who play these or are they picking up just people who want to fuck around their phone or whatever which is fine and i'm not saying that doesn't matter like i look at this i'm like yeah i want to dress up yeah yeah i want to drive my fucking cool car around this looks awesome and again for me as the guy wait that looked like a ghostbuster knockoff symbol that's cool uh as the guy who you know loves mobile gaming or i'm sorry portable gaming right like the idea always of playing something on my playstation and having the exact version in quotes on my phone same character same world you know whatever fidelity i'm always into that i love that idea yeah so i hope this is as good as it looks i hope this is a world i want to go live in but you watch it now we're doing the fucking slapping like okay I hope this fucking rocks because this looks like a lot of cool ideas.

1:03:39A lot, a lot of cool ideas. I just man, I wish the aesthetic was different. You know what I mean? Well, you wish it wasn't so Neo, Tokyo anime. Not even like the setting. I think it is like the, like, I think a lot of games try to go for like the same art style that Genshin has. I think when Genshin first came out it felt a little novel because I was like, okay, cool. I've not seen much like this. Now I'm seeing a lot of games that look like this and i don't know i just don't i don't really vibe with it as strongly at least at this point i'm pre-registering for updates greg is pre-registering there you go they said over there somebody said there was a lot of a lot of people had already done it

1:04:17Blessing Adeoye Jr.:um greg yeah this game seems like it's doing a lot of big things huge things it's gonna come out and maybe it's gonna be a gigantic game but i wanted something smaller say the tiniest news i need to know about where would i go you want to talk about a gigantic thing look at the third tile on the Antifa whatever.
