BLOGPOST UPDATE IN PROGRESS
What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 788 & BENKYO RADIO 788. Unfortunately, the Back to the Future: The Game 30th Anniversary for PS4 goes for about $140 on Amazon, which is incredibly expensive. Please release more copies, or provide it as a $20-$30 re-release on Playstation Network. Heck, you could even provide it as a game of the month on Playstation Plus. Alas, Telltale Games, the company which created the game went out of business. It would be great if someone hired their programmers and brought it back to reality. There is a board game available, which is a great initiation to share the story of Back to the Future with children. Essentially you can explain them the beginning of Back to the Future II, in which Marty goes to the future, and has to explain to his son that the deal is off, he’s not doing that stupid thing that Griff wants him to do. Hence the reason why Griff goes to jail and not Marty Jr. That’s why the newspaper was updated.
As always, I have my copy of the Air Force & Space Force Almanac 2022, and we are NOT letting Trump (Biff) gets his hands anywhere on it EVER again. He will NOT be President in 2024, and he is SOON to be indicted. He needs to be arrested. For the sake of humankind, Trump cannot be allowed to have his hands on Nuclear weapons ever again.
Until Next Time!
