  1. Fall is always fleeting in the Seattle area, especially when mountains and passes are involved. Most of the smaller east-west passes in Washington close for the winter shortly after the first major snowfall, so you never really know if "next week" will even exist.

This is a company that does not give a single fuck about employees. #gaming #videogames #GamingNews #news #bioware
