Think of us this weekend as you game to your heart’s content. We’re off to visit some family a couple states over. Hopefully our video game withdrawal will be tolerable and there won’t be too much foaming of the mouth, Tourette’s worthy curses towards the family’s circa-2000 desktop PC, or any balling up into the fetal position crying out “Spy Nephew!”
We’ll be back Monday with another episode of Monitor Tans. Until then, happy gaming.
Remember that Apple commercial from 1984? (We’re you even alive then?)
