Best PS3 modding, ever?
Is this the best example of a modded PS3 you can find? If you’ve not seen the video before you may need to look quite closely to see the fine crafting along the edges of the device. However, if you keep on watching towards the end you shouldn’t be in any doubt as to how […]

Facebook RPG: Endless Chaos

Rubber Band Gatling Gun
