What was your first writing assignment? How did you prepare for it? Was the process what you thought it would be?

PlayStacin

Mediatonic is known for their work on “Fall Guys” so my question is: What would an “Active Quest” Fall Guy look like?

#1 Turner and Hooch Fan

HEY FELLERS and guest, I have a question: are your ps4 disc drives able to play a slice of salami? I read somewhere it could but I tried to put it in there and it got stuck and my Playstation won’t recognize it. Do you think it’d work if I update my firmware?
