Monster Kegger Game Review (prepublished version)

American author and Billiard Congress of America Hall of Fame instructor of pool and carom billiards, Robert Byrne, said, “Partying is such sweet sorrow.” Truly, throwing a party and being at a party takes work.

Psychopath Game Review

American author Alice Sebold wrote in her book The Lovely Bones, “Murderers are not monsters, they’re men.
