Typically for DWB, we invent a fun new strategy for spicing up the weekly pre-gaming ritual. This week, though, we decided to give a shout out to all those drink-alone-in-their-dorm-room types. It’s a bit more… contemplative. The goal is to focus the usual, self-loathing thoughts in a quirky, yet constructive, way.  What you need: 1 […]
