Toss A Coin To Your Blogger…

The Witcher Spins A Wonderful Tale Outside of the occasional advertisement for the popular video game based upon it, I was completely unfamiliar with Andrzej Sapkowksi’s book series, The Witcher. I knew that the game looked cool, but I’m not much into modern gaming as I am the old school console games, so my knowledgeContinue reading “Toss A Coin To Your Blogger…”
