So I played around with some stuff and came of my these new system. Instead of points, I'll be using something I like to call "Anarchy Coins". And I want to give credit to…

Japanese cult director
Takashi Miike is known for his controversial portrayal of graphic violence in his films. He's sort of like Japan's version of
