Greetings wonderful Twinfiknights! Like a lot of the staff, my summer vacation has officially started and hot damn am I pumped.

We started in October 2011 out of a love for video games and a need for an outlet other than our Twitters to express it. We don’t claim to be professionals, but we sure as hell love what we do and try our best at it. So it’s an honor whenever we hear good things from a fan of the site or any random viewer at all. Not to mention the views our articles get. Trolls are awesome, too. The [...]
