"So Indie"

Hot Topic is a retail chain with revenues over $750 million a year.  They specialize in clothing and accessories for the youth market.  Have you ever actually been inside these stores?  They are filled with all sorts of weird gothic bizarreness alongside geeky stuff like video game and comic book characters.  You can buy a ‘vampires suck’ t-shirt or a Mighty Morphin Power Rangers hoodie.  This dichotomy between the dark metal-goth-punk stuff and the nerdy stuff is strange.

Hot Topic is making a killing off of teen angst and geek chic.

We all have those games that we miss the first time around. With the busy release schedule of modern gaming, no one has time to play everything. That is why we at WingDamage present to you “Fashionably Late Reviews“.

"Take it from me!"

I want to thank you for all the hours of entertainment you have provided.  I know that you work very long hours to bring me the best entertainment that you can.  I just have a couple of things I would love to see tweaked or changed (and by a couple I mean 7).
