Review by Zane M. It is the year 2014. Smallpox has been eradicated. The invention of the internet has enabled us to have access to the sum of human knowledge at the push of a button. Gay marriage has been increasingly more legalised in the Western world and progressives are…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Of the “great American sports,” I appreciate Ice Hockey and Baseball the most. I like Ice Hockey because it’s a sport of sheer speed and aggression.
