We are very sweaty… Hey Durdle fans it’s been a while since we talked. Don’t worry though it’s not you, it’s us. You see we’ve been deep in the game catacombs working hard on Durdle releases for the past few months. It’s dark and damp down here. The wi-fi is spotty. Even Door Dash refuses …
This Durdle thing might be contagious The biggest gaming dance in North America has come and gone now. Games have been played, friendships been made, and millions of hours of sleep lost.
