    I never buy control games because they are always free on plus shortly after release. Not that I have played them, either, but expect it to appear within 8 months.

    MIGHT not be totally bad. You'll be able to find out quickly. The fact that you rejected her already isn't good news. One of the sharpest, hard working, and most humble guys I've ever worked with was from the DRC. (Congo) He was one of those kids we've read the sob stories about who walked 4...
