What’s up, pizzas?! You might think it’s weird that four grown men and one 16-year-old kid all gathered together and spent an entire evening playing Wii U (the 16 year old being Cory’s cousin visiting for the holidays from the armpit of California, ‘Fresno’). To be quite honest, I think … Continue reading
