When you visit Kingdoom Hearts Unchained X discussions, you'll find people casually talking about how they spent $200 one week trying to get a specific medal. They're rare, but a much greater group of people considers themselves low spenders if they pay $15 a week.<br /><br />...suddenly Super Mario Run is feeling really inexpensive in comparison. xDSamantha Lienhardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00050896759185927270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803482805925136251.post-74803933137071814932016-11-22T21:55:31.415-05:002016-11-22T21:55:31.415-05:00lol
