Giant Robot Store and GR2 News

gr/eats. a lot of food makes it onto my blog and maybe that’s because we have a restaurant, and I like to check out different kinds of foods.

gr/eats promotion is over. It actually ended on monday, but look at this photo! That’s Mayan Chicken and it’s tasty! There’s a cool short story about this.

This blog and others will be on the front page. It should be six total and hopefully fresh and new often! Also the lounge!
