I’m not one to say no to a good drink, especially when it’s poured by a set of practiced hands and an open mind. Whether you’ve spent some time in dives or not, a practiced bartender makes all the difference no matter how far you want to take your inebriation…
Welcome back to the Wire Weekly, where I, Ben “remember Miitomo?” Fruzzetti, run through the week’s assortment of Nintendo news with what could charitably be referred to as wit, sarcasm, and personality.
