    If video games were better, and a carton of Spirits wasn’t so expensive I’d probably relapse, buy a pack and smoke them in the igloo I haven’t made yet, with the guy from upstairs (not like, sky upstairs) who tries to hack wifi with a Macbook. Why? Because this is the future and I’m pretty...

    Angry Piggy is definitely the kind of game that’s all about teamwork. Initially I admit to jumping right in without even reading the games description, I wrote it off immediately as being mundane and too simplistic as well as repetitive and boring until I hit the second island.
