Allanah’s comment got our attention because we’re looking forward to seeing her term paper about the experience 🙂
Andrei’s comment because he seems really passionate and excited about the scene.
Zhang’s comment won because we want him to enjoy some epic chiptunes and the idea of USK waving around a Gameboy like a weapon of mass destruction makes us giggle.
