Last month was the warmest June ever in North America. This week is in honor of the increasingly agonizing heat ...
picture: Nintendo / Kotaku America’s birthday is just around the corner, and you know what that means: it’s time to blow things up loud so we can drown out the embarrassed voices in our heads reminding us how strange and bad America can be . In honor of it all, this week week Split screen ...
