Since they offer very different agendas around this issue, the outcome of this election may have a direct effect on many of Massachusetts...
...addition to FIFA and Mario Kart, they also play Mortal Kombat and Goldeneye. Lalli criticized the latter game, however, saying," It's not fun, it's just killing people." Burak H. Alsan '99 retorts, "Not like Mortal Kombat?" The verbal contests were nearly as competitive as the action on the screen...
