I added this because it's an absolutely brilliant piece about an skilled MMA practitioner against an almighty Warhammer player.
Well I took a kicking, i'll admit. But I'm not embarrassed and i'm not ashamed. I was heavily outnumbered and I fought like a fucking spartan and went down like a warrior. |
