I’m a huge Nintendo fan. Have been since I was a kid. That’s what happens when you’re sold propaganda at a young age: It sticks. So, when the NES Classic was announced for this Christmas season, I knew I had to have one. I finally managed to score one, but […]
Haha, just kidding: There’s no such thing. Hear about my long weekend, how my newfound stand-up career (attempt) is going and how you CAN avoid hangovers (or can you) on the latest Papa’s Basement.
