Sorry for rambling in advance. I recently stumbled upon a piece by Baltimore-based writer Action Bastard about one of the greatest games of all-time (to me, anyway). I wish I was saying that hyperbolically because the term “GOAT” gets thrown out like candy to the point it doesn’t mean shit anymore. But, AB wrote about […]

H/T to GamingIlluminaughty for showing me this one, since I haven’t been as up on Tekken craziness as I probably should be.
