I’ve been thinking about Steph and cass lately, especially with my recent re-read of Batgirl 2009. You’re totally right in that Steph does not even once spare Cass a single thought or even speak about her at all in the entire run. But it also got me thinking, didn’t this exact scenario already play out except with Tim? I’ll admit it’s been awhile since I’ve read her run as Robin, but I feel like once she got the mantle of Robin (again, taken from someone else- this time Tim) she never really spared him a second thought either. And then when she gets the Batgirl mantle from Cass, she never spared her a second thought. I know that the writers probably did not intend for this sort of characteristic to shine through, but it’s interesting nonetheless that this has happened twice. Does Steph just view people as disposable? Or as extensions of herself? And that’s why the second she gets what she wants from them or can’t get anything more from them, they drop in importance in her eyes and she doesn’t spare them a second thought? What are you views on it? (Also supergirl showing up in the middle was so damn random lmfao, did they have any previous links before that issue? Or even after that issue? I feel a bit bad for Kara that she constantly has to be besties with whoever the newest batgirl is T-T)
That is how I tend to view her, when I'm not taking steps to deliberately soften her character (like with Batgirl, Repentant). She does think about Tim a few times while she's Robin, but it's mostly in passing -- first explaining to Cass why she's in the Robin suit in Batgirl; then because he got a hold of her over the phone, briefly; and then because her last case involved an assassin, Scarab, who was hired to kill people who looked like him. Once that's established, he's out of her thoughts.
After that she thinks of him again in the lead-up to War Games, namely in the "Prelude," from Batman 12-Cent Adventure #1, which is partially an excuse to do set-up/recap flashbacks for anybody tuning into the event who hasn't been reading Batman regularly, but is also when we actually get to see the Incident that kicks off the gang war -- and it's told from Steph's perspective.
Tumblr media
And a little later on when she hears his school got shot up, she's devastated, fully bursts into tears and is terrified that she might've gotten him killed.
That said, her writing in War Games is largely an outlier -- for all the problems with that story (and there are so many problems, don't get me wrong), it legitimately has some of the best, most selfless and heroic characterization Steph has ever been given. It's tragic heroism, but it's still genuine heroism all the same.
The rest of the time... Yeah, she just doesn't really seem to make many connections or think much about other people when they're not directly involved in getting her what she wants. That's the vibe I get, too.
As for Supergirl: they did actually establish that. There was a 4-isuue World's Finest miniseries in 2009 that told one semi-ongoing story but also used each individual issue to team up a member of the new "Batman Reborn" Batfamily up with one of the similarly-revamped "New Krypton"-era Superfam.
Issue #1 was where Tim (as Red Robin) was reintroduced to the 15-year-old Chris Kent Nightwing (and Thara Ak-Var Flamebird). Issue #2 was Damian and the Guardian. Issue #3 had Babs call in Kara to rescue Steph from a death trap and then they teamed up. and Issue #4 had Dick-Bats and Clark come in to bring most of the threads together for a big finale.
The mini overall is... okay, though there's some characterization I'm not fond of, and something about the art style just. Really empathizes how much I fucking hate Steph's ugly Batgirl costume.
(Why. Does she wear her fucking belt so loose. They do it so it'll hang akimbo on her hips but it's made of huge weighted pouches, it'd spin around her waist when she tried to grapple like a goddamn hula hoop!!)

For a long time I thought Robin was his son, but now I know he was…chosen.
I don’t know much about their history except for what’s already passed into legend; Batman and Robin, the dynamic duo—mentor and sidekick—family by choice if not blood.
I’ve never caught his civilian name, but I do know that the first Robin has been heroing since he was a little kid—and that he’s friends with almost everyone in the superhero community.
I also know that even though things must have been rough between him and Batman sometimes, he’s wicked loyal…even now, even though he wears a different costume and answers to the name “Nightwing.”

Finished War Drums. Feel like shit. I have so many thoughts on Steph. She deserved so much better than this. She could have been the Robin for the ages. There are bits and pieces of it. The good She could have done. Makes me want to rewrite War Games and the aftermath. Let her be Robin. Let her do what she needs to do. Get the training she needs to continue with what she wants to do. I don't think she as a character would want to stay Robin, but I think she deserved more than what she got. It's only going to get worse as I get to the next part. Batman 12 cent adventure here I come.
Tumblr media
I bought a copy.
Tried to avoid war games but got bored reading 90s comics. Plus, I want to finish Batgirl (2000), and to do that, I need to read war games. I haven't even started the second comic in the event, and I'm fed up with Bruce/Batman. Steph isn't even Robin yet, but I am just done with him. It's not the characterization I have a problem with. I just find Bruce an annoying character. Maybe I'll live blog my reactions. Keep rebloghing this post with my thoughts.

Batman: Where to start
***long post***
Getting in to comics is rather hard and finding a good starting place or a good recommended must-reads is hard and confusing and you typically get hundreds of different answers.
This is my personal list, that I'm working through and hope to collect. I've done quite a bit of research and feel like this is a adequate reading list for modern (post-crisis) Bruce Wayne
Anyways here's the list in primary chronological order:
Batman: Year One (Batman Vol 1 #404-#407)
This story line established the back story for Batman in the post-crisis timeline, along with the back stories for Commissioner Gordon and Selina Kyle. Not necessarily canon anymore, but a good story to get the feel of the characters
Batman: The Man Who Laughs
This is a one shot that was published in 2005 that tells the story of Batman's first encounter with the Joker roughly a year after the Batman's debut in Gotham. Based on the Joker's original first appearance in Batman Vol 1 #1.
Batman and the Monster Men
This is a 6 part mini series that takes place sometime after Batman: Year One and Batman: The Man Who Laughs. First half of the Dark Moon Rising series. Story revolves around Batman's first dealing with Hugo Strange
Batman and the Mad Monk
This is another 6 part mini series that is the second half of the Dark Moon Rising series. It is a retelling of a story from Detective Comics Vol 1 #31-32

The very large, extended Bat-family
Tumblr media
“Batmans Greatest Case”. Detective Comics # 1000. By Tom King, art Tony S. Daniel and Joëlle Jones.
As of April 2019, this is the latest Bat-family photo (disregarding the inconsistencies about the characters current suits and whereabouts and relationships...) But have you seen the earlier Bat-family portraits – and do you know all the people Batman has had as partners or protégés? If not, read on for a list of people (vigilantes or people permitted in the cave, so no police officers) that  Batman has trained and/or worked with in Gotham.
Tumblr media
Art by Norm Breyfogle (early 1990s).
Tumblr media
Art by Dick Giordano (late 1960s or 1970s´).
Tumblr media
Art by Sheldon Moldoff (early 1960s).
(The date mentioned in the following list is the character’s first appearance in DC, it’s not always in connection with Batman.)

On Earth-Two, Bruce and Selina married and had a daughter, Helena. Dick continued as Robin as an adult. Alfred was first called Pennyworth in November 1969.

Tumblr media Tumblr media
Jimmy. December 1948.

Batman: War Games - Worst Comic Event Ever? Probably!
I had so many fucking thoughts about this trash fire of an event comic, guys.
War Games might genuinely be one of the worst things that have ever happened to comics. It's riddled with horrific art, bad writing, bad treatment of beloved characters. The few attempts at brevity, goodness, or even relief are frequently undercut by homophobia, rape jokes, transphobia, and sexism.
As a fan of multiple of the storylines which were interrupted to produce this all-time low in comic event storytelling, and a fan of characters who were fridged, character assassinated, or otherwise shoved aside in favor of a narrative where Batman shoves aside his family and is more convinced than ever that he is right and blameless in the events that happen... it was awful.
Detective Comics #796 might just be one of the only worthy reads in the entire book: Stephanie Brown comes to blows with Zsasz in her time as Robin, and the art is good, Bruce expresses concern and care for her, and in that issue, we can almost see what could have been a better story, where the two of them learned and grew together.
(More below the cut)
A highlight that I did not expect, however, was the Batman 12 Cent Adventure by Devin Grayson, which was probably one of the most empathetic perspectives into Steph’s mind at the time, and clearly showing how she had been set up to fail. Through this book, we see the set up for the War Game, in a much more detailed way than we saw pretty much anywhere else throughout the book, and we also got a brief history of the Bat Family told two ways—the way that Steph knows it, and the way that we, the reader, know it actually happened, because Steph doesn’t know most of the family’s secret identities, and is in the dark about some of the fundamentals.
What can I even say about Steph’s treatment in this comic that hasn’t already been said, that isn’t part of the narrative of War Games? Maybe I could mention the horrifically porn traced torture drawings. The way that the torture is clearly stylized as sexual assault. The way that Steph is insulted, belittled, and poorly treated, even beyond the torture and fridging. The way that this was supposed to be how her story ended. As a fan of Steph, it was horrible to read. I cannot emphasize enough how new fans seeking Steph content, should avoid this series. Reading Detective Comics 796 and her issues as Robin in Robin and Batgirl… and just… never pick up War Games properly. Don’t be like me.
The Robin issues by Willingham were… fine, if frequently sexist, and continuing the comics tradition of treating male sexual assault as harmless or a joke (Tim is forcibly kissed by a fellow student, and is cheered on for it, despite having made clear to Darla that he is already in a relationship. Later, he ends up taking her on a pseudo-date for hot cocoa. There were a few nice moments squeezed in; Tim at one point says that Stephanie and Bruce had a good relationship and brought a levity to the role that was good for Bruce… right before claiming that her making Bruce joke wasn’t that big of a deal because the joke was “rudimentary.”
Catwoman was decent enough; I’m a fan of Brubaker in general, and the bits where Selina got to bond with Steph, do her own thing, and protect the East End were lovely… but so many of the infamous torture panels occur in this book that it’s hard for me to say that these issues were worth reading.
Orpheus and Onyx though… hoo boy. Onyx had some fun moments throughout the series, being battle buddies with Cass, chatting casually with Deadshot, and things like that. But in the end, the overwhelming awfulness of Batman coercing a black vigilante into becoming a gang leader, and then the vigilante being murdered, and his face literally worn as a mask, was bad. Bruce getting Orpheus to become the leader of the Hill Gang also undercuts his own argument that he had never intended to implement the War Game to give himself control over all of Gotham’s organized Crime… because he had put Orpheus where he was specifically to control one gang already. Orpheus was done so dirty, and he and Onyx deserve to get to come back and be treated better.
Batgirl had some nice individual moments when the story focused on Steph and Cass’s relationship: Cass desperately searching for her best friend and the last time the two of them met was absolutely heartbreaking, but the rest of it was generally just more of the same, constant fighting, and it’s her sections that get to feature the transphobic joke, on top of the sexism that permeates this entire event. Cass doesn’t get too much to do in this story, which is a real pity, since I think her book was one of the strongest from this era.
Nightwing was infuriating for the simple fact of when in the Nightwing the story takes place: barely after Nightwing’s assault at the hands of Tarantula. Tarantula is given a heroic story here, protecting young children who had been recruited into gangs, and even being appointed one of Batman’s top lieutenants in the crisis. She’s referred to as Dick’s stalker, but this is treated as a joke, and she touches him and flirts with him constantly, and the only negative consequences are that Oracle becomes jealous and insults both her and Dick.
Oracle is treated generally pretty poorly in this story, snapping at everyone, insulting Cass and Dick, and while some of it could be understandable given the situation, it’s kind of annoying that so many of her early appearances in the series are playing her up as a jerk. But in the end, Babs comes through in what would be, in any other story, a brilliant ending concept, but instead ends up being undercut by the rest of the story. Trapped in the Clocktower by the Black Mask, with Batman coming to her rescue, Batman is so furious about the War that he no longer cares if he lives or dies, and is even willing to kill the Mask. To pull him out of it, Babs activates the Clocktower’s self-destruct sequences, forcing Batman to chose between vengeance and his purpose as a hero, saving her life rather than killing the Black Mask. What undercuts it, though, is that Bruce’s rage is made out to be not about the destruction that the Mask has caused, or even about Stephanie Brown, who was tortured and is dying in the hospital, but instead, about the failure of his plan. So… nearly good, I suppose.
And Leslie. Leslie is right up there with Steph and Orpheus in terms of horrible treatment. DC has never been good at understanding pacifism. Leslie yells at Cass for saving her life, constantly claims that superheroes do more harm than good, and denies Steph life-saving treatment. The character ends the series exiled to Africa, with Bruce telling her never to come back, a character who was functionally his foster-mother, and one of the most important older women in the Batman books.
War Games is emblematic of some of the worst Batman writing: the character is pig headed, cruel, and even abusive, but we are told by the narrative that he's smarter than everyone, so they should just deal with it. Repeatedly characters try to call him out on his behavior, but he tells them to stop whining and deal with it, and even when his actions backfire, it’s portrayed as a tragic inevitability that he is not held accountable for.
And the ending goes out of the way to explain that it's not his fault that beloved character Stephanie Brown died, not really, it was because mean old pacifist Leslie Thompkins was overtaken by the "Batman is blameless" virus and decided to deny a girl medical treatment. Batman declares that what happened was a war crime, and there must be war trials, but in the end, he fails to take any responsibility for his own actions, and inflicts massive amounts of trauma on the entire city.
In short? Don’t read War Games!

Did Stephanie really become Robin just because she thought Tim was cheating on her?
In Robin (1993) #126, Stephanie watches Darla Aquista kiss Tim and then the next panel she’s in is where she’s sulking (Steph’s words, not mine) and sewing and then she’s in the Batcave wearing a homemade Robin suit. There was also a part before where Steph was working as Spoiler after Tim quit and she lamented not having access to crimefighting information through Robin, but it’s like actually being Robin hadn’t even occurred to her until after she saw Tim and Darla in front of the school. Does that mean that she sees being Robin as a was of hurting Tim? Or just not needing him?
Honestly, the whole plot point of Steph's motivation to become Robin (and by extension her motivation to kick off the War Games gang war) is just kinda bad. They only talk about it on occasion, the explanation is at least slightly different every time, and they're all pretty sexist.
Like yeah, Robin #126 plays out pretty much exactly like you're describing, with all that playing out immediately following scenes where Steph talks about how she's in it to be Spoiler "for the duration," acting with the specific intent of avoiding Batman and doing her own thing without even the slightest hint that she gives a shit about needing his approval. Which, yes, does paint her motivation as jealousy and spite, particularly because she then immediately ghosts Tim for months and Willingham writes Bruce as comparing them negatively to motivate her.
But then in "Batman: The 12-Cent Adventure" Steph says, quote, "I betrayed [Tim] and stole his job, telling myself I was doing it to feel closer to him, when in reality it was all for Batman's approval." Which was honestly something she didn't seem to want anymore after he'd trained her the first time? Like it seemed more like she wanted the community in general to accept her from then on, Batman's approval specifically felt mostly resolved.
But they needed her to be motivated to steal the plans for War Games and set that whole thing into motion, which I always thought would've made more sense (and been less sexist) if she'd done it wanting to prove she was better than Bruce by going the distance he wasn't willing to go; it would've also fit better with the ideological disagreements she and Bruce had while she was Robin, thinking she could actually take out a chunk of the rot in the city by being more ruthless than him and only realizing too late that the burn-it-all-down approach hurts innocents as much as those who "deserve it."
But no. They didn't go with that. They went with daddy issues and the scorned woman and I want him to take me back and it's just kinda yucky. So yeah, there was no good motivation for Steph to want to be Robin, and they left it open to some very unflattering interpretations.

Alfred calls Dick to check in after losing track of him for several days. Dick begins to tell Alfred that he doesn’t know what to do but interrupts himself in a panic about Bruce needing his help. Alfred assures him Bruce is fine and tells dick he’s worried about him (Batman: The 12-Cent Adventure #1)

this is correct! but this is also a good example of the telephone phenomenom at work--someone reads a part of the story, takes the character at face value, and then goes on to say this is how it happened, someone hears that & then makes their own intepretation of what first person said & continues to assert so on and so forth until the assertion of what happened doesn't really have too much in common of things that did happened. even if you only read batgirl & are under the impression steph is telling the truth, what she actually says is "tim quit being robin because his folks need him and then batman asked if i could do it and of course i said yes"--which, if you're reading robin you know is an utter misrepresentation of the facts & even if you read within the context of batgirl (especially #55) you also come to find that in batgirl steph does have a tendency to twist the narrative when she can't bring herself to admit something, so that's a strong clue she's probably not always entirely truthful about how everything is going down--but this is also not usually gets said about how and why steph became robin...again, it's misintepreted as bruce is *mad* at tim so asked steph out of spite (which, i won't deny bruce was trying to convince tim to come back by using steph but certainly wasn't mad at him) or that tim trusted her so implicitly he asked her to take over when he had to quit. neither of those things is what happened, not really. and it's the same with alpod where you get arguments about how tim is a great blackmailer from out of context panels of tim showing the photos to dick and insisting dick needed to go save batman, despite the fact that elsewhere in the story he insists he would never, ever tell anyone even if they told him to go pound sand that day. in fact, if you only read the ntt issues of alpod tim comes across as incredibly pushy and overstepping and way more tone-deaf in his forcefulness to try and push dick into being robin again. it's more the batman issues where the context behind his feelings is fully revealed. so you can for sure see where the assertions come from, but it's usually a twisted fourthhand view of events. and both alpod & steph's robin issues come in at 5 issues, and aren't really that long to read to get the whole context of what exactly happened, but for both you seem to get sweeping claims about things that happened that didn't really, or didn't happen like that, due to a lot of fandom telephone.
and to clarify (not at you, just in general) for the record i should say that i absolutely *hate* willingham & his writing and find a lot of his writing choices lacking and regressive. i was more pointing out that the issue that does actually goes into how and why steph became robin (robin #126) has a lot of events that you don't really see mentioned when it comes to answering the question of how and why did steph become robin--you never see the fact that she ghosted tim to take the job for example & that he found out through the newspaper, you never see the fact that while she definitely is playing on her long term character arc of desiring approval/acceptance, the impetus of her getting angry enough to go make a robin costume was immediately preceeded by the fact that she felt incredibly hurt by her mistaken perception that tim cheated on her & that she was able to kind of kill two birds with one stone--do something to prove herself worthy of acceptance & do something she knows would hurt tim the way she felt hurt by him at the same time (as evidenced by the 12 cent adventure where she specifically notes she betrayed tim due to her desire to be part of the in-group & get that acceptance). those are things that did happen and do help to inform the answer to the question. and none of it makes her evil, it makes her hurt and lashing out for a lot of reasons. but her desire to hurt tim & her active role in taking the robin mantle for various personal reasons such as to try and take the acceptance she's hungry for for herself is interestingly usually downplayed in the game of telephone in favor of a far more passive and kind and and uncomplicated explanation of how she got the role--where usually tim or bruce asks her nicely to fill in when tim found himself unable to for the time being (which also happens to downplay the fact that tim didn't particularly want to give up the job to begin with and he was forced to which adds another wrinkle into it all). and maybe that's to try and remove any semblance of culpability from her due to the nasty awful way war games ended for her, when idk to me the point is she could have done something to try and be somewhat hurtful herself & still not deserved any of what she got.
(and, afaik, in batgirl post M/F steph only kind of trains with cass? batman doesn't explicitly say no until post-gotham knights #37 where you get the issue where cass ends up telling steph she thinks bruce is right about steph not being cut out for the vigilante life. before then he doesn't deny steph & cass working together but post-M/F steph decides to end her training with cass to spend time with tim again + they have the shared tim, cass, steph, and connor hawke case and that's it?)
you know how we so often get completely confidently incorrect assertions about how and why tim became robin? i genuinely do feel like i see just as many utterly confidently incorrect assertions about how and why steph became robin too. it's fascinating how there is just as much telephone about her as there is him.
for every "tim showed up at bruce's house with a bunch of pictures and said that if batman didn't make him robin immediately he was going to send the photos to every newspaper on the east coast" there's a "bruce asked steph to be robin because he was mad at tim" or "tim asked steph to fill in for robin after his dad made him quit"
like. i'm not going to pretend that "mistakenly thought tim was cheating on her so got mad, completely ghosted him, then showed up in the batcave in a handmade robin costume to take the job his dad forced him to quit as revenge" is a good story, but it is the story. & just like alpod you do see so many completely confident but utterly incorrect descriptions of what exactly happened floating around.

Batman: The Adventures Continue #2  Hardware Part 2 - REVIEWED
Issue #2 is available at Comixology and other digital platforms today, at the affordable price of 99 cents. As I stated last week, the new comic series is inspired by DC Direct’s action figure line, maybe that’s why the comic book series is focusing on super villains outside of Gotham. Lex Luthor is again Batman’s main adversary in issue 2. The plot and story are quick and thin, with the comic seeming to be more like one you’d quickly read on the back of a cereal box. The elemental tale resembles many that have since been told, but with no suspenseful moments or awesome action sequences.
Tumblr media
At the end of story Bat-fans are given a quick glimpse of a rebel that should heat things up in Gotham. Sadly it doesn’t help this lackluster issue of Batman: The Adventures Continue.

Batman Beginnings Finally Launches On Android
You probably recognize chances are iOS together with Crashlands by Butterscotch Shenanigans hasbeen launched for Android and Steam even though youare a light mobile gamer. Read through to Night within the Woods, Telltale's Batman, and We Delighted Several for more on why we were stood out to by these games. Whether you need to produce games being an artist, designer, application builder, or engineer, Digipen provides a diploma that will give the tools you have to enter the and rapidly produce a direct effect to you. http://te24aratalumii.info Of iPad Activities with iCade Help - along with AppStore links, it includes both a brief conclusion of the listed games as well as links to (possible) evaluations. As the Razer Sabertooth can be a pro grade controller comparable in size and design for the Xbox 360 Console control, it has a better D-pad with discrete links, together with grippier analog sticks and unusual ABXY buttons that feel and appear to be a click once you push them. I can see just why there are so many vested interests out-there including hardware suppliers, additional Software stores and competitive software businesses like Appcelerator that are scared that Apple can proceed to own therefore much power in of most in their companies and therefore are willing to push Android. In the information below, Gartner initiatives that Android will have cultivated to possess 17.7% of the market by the end of this season powered by wide selection of devices offered by all the planet's insurers. Complete Android sales will be the summary all these possibilities, of most these designs, contact it fragmentation” if it creates you are feeling superior. I probably wouldn't have put HTC within this type previously, earlier this season but they truly increased their recreation using the discharge of the Main One X and S styles. All-the world's advantages are however missing in the sport — doubtless down to accreditation — but that is forgivable. With all the only difference being the advertisements a free model is of the game also. I frekin appreciate this sport is bit demanding, although incredible, one of many best platforming I played. Whether you like freemium's idea gambling or not it really is tough to not fight that Cardinal Journey 2 is one heck of an awesome game. Definitely sees once I started my play that is second through the sport. Four special methods of invasion and also a regular flow of invaders could get busy. It has obtained motivation including classics like Ikaruga and DoDonPachi, from your best games within the style. I realized she'd be an ideal specialist for Diner Story and I lay along with her to view as she presented it a go. She got the hold of the sport play promptly, touching to the display manages factors, but it did not actually record her fascination. As soon as you provide the person control of battles, it-no longer becomes a casino game about posturing and nation building, about winning the battles and one. 100 brain 'll challenges you'll -teasing questions as you advance through the games 25 huge quantities - which must last you well over 12 hours! And that's superb, except it's just what industry desires, and also the Android ecosystem, open and competitive and dirty. Apps that http://te24aratalumii.info/choco-lite-de-vedere-mercadona-in-cazul-in-care-pentru-a-cumpara-farmacie-pret-spania-forum-slabire/ used on the Nexus 7's vast majority looked EXACTLY the same because they might on an Android smartphone, merely scaled up. No difference at all. That ‘s not saying the game is also easy (really, it's ” but that ‘s not the point), but, somewhat, all motion and fight adjustments may be reached with just one hand. Pumpic team created capabilities that permit you monitor all social media sites including Facebook, Instagram programs and general online exercise to safeguard your child as cyberbullying, online predators and 18+ sites from such problems. No matter howmuch we might wish to destroy time in the physician's office by racing Mushroom Gorge—complete with Game Center- driven multiplayer action!—Nintendo just isn't likely to allow that happen any time in the future. This game has over 100 million players enjoying the game and you might be one of these. Like everyother freemium app, there are IAPs that can help you development quicker while in the sport, although candy Break offer hours of enjoyment and can very quickly allow you to get addicted. Checkout a number of the finest challenge, role playing, podium and strategy games that may be not performed online. Being a history training, a trip or strictly being an adventure, I strongly recommend you try-out at least one of those great items of history — the initial game is free! Physical puzzles in a beautifully-noticed 3D planet get this to sequel that is fairly disturbing a happiness to perform. The overall game is timed switch-based, therefore both players possess a possiblity to do harm one following the different. If you might get around those nevertheless, you'll find that Story of Talisman is just a difficult and deserving supplement to your game collection. But based on the newest data, over 50% of all Americans frequently perform video games, with nearly half these gamers being women. That is against football announcement year, where billionaires argue about how exactly cents should appropriately split amongst themselves with riches, and where young men enjoying a dangerous game for well below market value are scolded for being captured using extra money or promoting their honors. Two thematic mini games: ice doodling and frosty puzzles were also included by the programmers.
