Maybe I'm a bit slow on the uptake, but after I saw this on a friend's facebook profile, it has been bugging the living crap out of me. m It's too silly to be real, yet too real to be fake. Guns?! (A girl putting a gun to her head, no less.) Shot with the faux-gritty Hollywood "realism" of...
My Tiers are a tad off from my rankings since I only have 9 custom levels.
