Happy Towel Day

"Bow" he types

I found this on a german newssite: "Bow Nigger". Regardless of the validity of the content, it's a gripping read, and captures a lot of emotions online players often experience. While most realize that playing online games is just a recreational activity, that things are just

Finding Friends and believing them.
