Is that tumbleweed?

Things have been quiet around here for far too long. After the announcement of GTA IV’s delay and the predictable reaction from the community, it’s as if everything just came to a standstill. Recently, there’s been a significant lack of news to cover. Most fansites are turning to filler as a crutch to lean on. And for those of us

After all, how the hell are you going to order pizza when you’re too smashed to go and pick it up yourself? The same can be said for fansite message boards.
