Does SEGA Japan employ an in-house professional shaver? If not, keeping everything mown so precisely must impact heavily on his social calendar.

Who signed us up for a jobs mailing list? That’s not funny. It hurts. Do you think it’s easy sitting here on the internet for 16 hours a day watching people boasting about what they’re blowing their disposable income on?
