Quote of the Week


"I am seriously trying to help you here. You just have to trust me."


Usukis: Wonder Toys?



Here's the basic description of Usukis: they're dolls, based on the shape of a pet, who dress up in different costumes and are perfect things to collect.

So I've put this article together just to try see why...

Slothproofing Your Life



We've all heard of Dr. Frank Sloth. He's done all manner of evil things, such as lighting robots on fire and chasing them, taking over the New Features, mutating our pets, and other various things.
