True. Time moves at such a rapid pace yet some games never seem to age at all.

“Company, always on the run
Destiny is the rising sun
Oh, I was born 6-gun in my hand
Behind a gun I'll make my final stand
That's why they call me

Bad company
And I can't deny
Bad company
'Til the day I die”

"O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore Varth thou Romeo?"

The only true tragedy here is a lady wasting her time asking questions when she could enjoying the fun that is Varth!! This Romeo is on top with a beautifully penned 345,800 points!

Sure did! Such a wild game. Birds dropping cats on to you really cracked me up! Would love to meet the crazy gang that created this madness. 😄

Was all this for real or just some kind of Hell?

I see bad times today

Don't go around tonight
Well, it's bound to take your life

Hair like twisted gold

I feel my blood run cold

Now, I don't care if people laugh

That’s a great score first time. I was shocked at the frantic nature of it all and hit the low hundreds on my premiere go around.😄

“When you hear the air attack warning
You and your family must take cover

Ow, ow, ow
Ow, ow
Let's go

When two tribes go to war
One is all that you can score
Score no more
Score no more
When two tribes go to war
One is all you that can score”

Io and behold! Just because you have a strapping JetPac does it make you a space ace? Heck yes it does!! Dropping 7,980 on alien scum determined to wreak havoc in the super Dropzone! Why superior life forms are determined to abduct dumbasses who can’t seek shelter is beyond me.

“Out on the streets, that's where we'll meet
You make the night, I always cross the line

I knew right from the beginning
That you would end up winnin'
I knew right from the start
You'd put an arrow through my heart

Round and round..”
