That damn helicopter robot made me laugh so damn much. Look how stupid it looks. I love it and I need it. Must protect at all costs.
And now... Other Stuff From The Internet!!!
WEAR A MASK
"But, my liberties" they cry, as the ventilator is applied. It boggles the mind to think of the mental gymnastics some people perform to convince themselves that wearing a mask infringes on their rights.
Can I see your qualifications, please?

Geometry Wars is the real GOAT
Xbox 360 had Geometry Wars.

PS4 had Resogun
Hoping there's something coming early in this gen like those.
After all, the best demonstration of next-gen power is lots of spaceships blowing up, right?
Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved was a must-have title. A game so simple and yet so addictive. Even Retro Evolved 2 was pretty great, and 2014's third major entry in the series, Dimensions, added more depth to the game. While we know what happened to Bizarre Creations, whatever happened to Lucid Games creating more sequels?
Have you played it?
I have been playing and watching so much Among Us it's insane #amongusart #AmongUs pic.twitter.com/A40vuYBkVi

Among Us is gaining a lot of traction. People seem to really dig it. Maybe it's time to get together and play it?
Friendly dog looking for good home
Far out, that's a terrifying looking dog. It's giving off some real Pet Sematary vibes.
