So, back in the 90s, I didn’t really get in to any of Nintendo’s big franchise games.  I tried a bit during the N64 years – I bought the Mario game and the Zelda game – but, to be perfectly … Continue reading →

Posted on September 27, 2009 by baudattitude

Done stabbing mans – also, I’m a pretty pretty princess.

Posted on August 27, 2009 by baudattitude
