This will be an outstanding final round.
Where games are published?
Naroditsky gives this “favorite quotation” on his Facebook page: “Once upon a time, a reporter approached President Truman, saying, ‘Hi Mr.President, I made a bet with my friend ‘ere that I could make ya speak three words.’ To which Truman replied: ‘You lose.'” This story is apocryphal, but the president about whom it is told is of course “Silent Cal” Coolidge, not Truman. http://tinyurl.com/4n46tnj
