This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

We've been there. I asked for Shadow Warrior as a kid and got Shadow Man. Couldn't even run the game so all I got was actually a neat box and manual.

I shouldn't have gotten either game, TBF, but parents didn't care.

I learned that years later. Though I never bothered to play Shadow Warrior, only the remake/reboot.
