<p><em>These little haikus proved to be quite popular in 2012, so I&#8217;m gonna keep them going for another year. Or until I get bored with them. Whatever comes first. If you want to read more words about these games that I&#8217;m beating, just search around on <strong>Grinding Down</strong>. I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ve talked about them here or there at some point. Anyways, enjoy my videogamey take on Japanese poetry.</em></p>
