A restaurant themed after Suess-ian foods in districts across the States. Unfortunately, to get its pale look, the meat had a rare strain of salmonella which gives you horrific gonorhea. FDA is gonna have one hell of a check-in.

They make a new game in the Genshin universe but is a match three game (like Candy Crush) and shows adds where the girl characters are in risky situations that can only be solved in silly easy games that the demo tends to fail purposely but the add ends when the girl is about to lose her clothes or to die a bloody death...

Harmonix takes on the Scott Pilgrim revival and releases a new Rock Band game based on the music of the films and the Netflix series... it doesn´t end well due to the short quantity of songs and the 8-bit feels...
