Today’s Video(s)

Last night on Divinity: Original Sin, there was no content AT ALL. What there was, however, was a lot of story, and a lot of hilarity. Our characters actually got into an argument that was solved with actual rock, paper, scissors. This game is such a delight!

What I’ve Been Playing
