Despelote you can carry Shrek on dvd 10/10. Honestly the only metric you need for games rating.

I hope it's of use, not least because goddamn I forgot how long blog posts take to write.

Amazing album, seeing Flood in full was one of my first gigs (seeing Boris do their New Album tour was my very first) and gave me tinnitus hah. No regrets though.
