S07E15 - Revolucion

The Geek Show ·

2015/06/03

The Geek Show ·

2015/05/15

Isn't it a joy to grow older? The mind gets sharper while everything else starts to fall apart. Unfortunately not everyone is as whimsical when it comes to age-related issues, which is one of the reasons why older characters in games aren't as common as they could be. The problem is even worse with movies – hence the numerous trailers for older actors who are trying to rekindle their career. www.thegeekshow.co.uk
