Passionate Gamer Mugs

Why are you so hostile toward books? Um, where to start: The waste of paper, the lack of multimedia, the one-way nature of the medium. One-way? Authors stuff ideas down your throat.

I might play a shooting app called Angry Books if the books you were destroying were cute.

'Well, I'll say this: when the new boss came on board, it was a real game-changer for all of us!'

I'm doing my essay on John Milton's "Paradise Lost"...the video game.
