I love a game with a bank in it. I don t know exactly when this happened to me, at what point I became horny for economic stability above all else, but that s just how tedious my adult life has become. I m now less excited about the cool stuff that happens most often in games like strangling your dad to death on the precipice of an exploding volcano on a far-flung exoplanet or whatever and more excited about the prospect of opening a virtual savings account with a decent rate of interest at whatever the intergalactic equivalent of a Santander is. In the never-ending Which Friends Character Are You? quiz of life, I have finally, inexorably, become a Ross.
