Fright Night Shots: Multiple Video Games?
Sorry for the lax posting recently. I just bought a gaming computer that can play all of my Steam games, including ones that need more oomph than the computer that I had, and I’ve been sidetracked by playing those instead! This includes Metro: First… Continue Reading “Fright Night Shots: Multiple Video Games?”
