Also, Josh is kind of a douche, but a little funny as well. Sometimes I just don’t understand the internet. Ifthis guywas really a teen werewolf he’d be wearing a letter jacket and playing basketball. He’d also get l33t gaming skills from his wolf-like reflexes and thus would love his 360....

The one thing I notice here is that the sound effects are a little dull (something I couldn’t quite tell while in the middle of the Boston Convention Center full of 100,000 people)....

One of these, Pale Ale, has a rather funny side effect when consumed and while it’s not difficult to make, there are some steps that need to be followed.

At the tail end of their episode about maps and how they are made and used, there was a story about howPokemon Go– a game that uses interactive maps (just go with it) – caused such an influx of players into a small art town in Virginia that it has permanently upset the economy there....
