In Table Soccer players select from 3 free bottleRead More

The results rarely create coherent movements, but yet the participants have defeated half of the gym leaders in the game. The sheer randomness is so much so that currently there is a chatRead More

We will therefore be shutting down this tech blog on the 30th of April. We’ll export all posts toRead More
