Including Commodore Amiga CD32s and an Intellivision console.<br />- A life-size statue of Master Chief from Halo.<br /><br />Oh... and we have a big red sofa. I have a theory. The sofas you see on showroom floors are juveniles, not fully grown. Back in the warehouse, in the sofa cages, they're breeding the full-grown adults that are fully 10-20% larger than the tame ones you try out when you buy them. It's the only reason I can think of why, when they're delivered, they seem to take up more room than you originally envisaged.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=eldar&ditemid=229898" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://eldar.dreamwidth.org/229898.html sofas work amused public 0
