Ladies, low-lifes, and laser-eyed llamas. Tune in your forks and put down your sporks. This is HOT SHOT news.
Introducing our newest nasty, BONGO.
Bongo is a bouncing ballistic baller bringing the bricks down with his… seafood… attacks. He tosses his lunch all over his opponents. (You do NOT want that cleaning bill.)
Bongo packs heat with his squid cannon, ready to blow cephalopods all over the map! Does he get up at like, 5am, go to the docks, and just buy a basket of these? What is the prep involved in this? Why not carrots? At least carrots are pointy…
We digress...
Bongo packs some serious punch, that is, when he isn’t banging on his bass (metal music sound)
This messy metalhead is available now along with 20% off on STEAM for limited time! Are we mad?! Yes.
Wait, is that not enough meat for you, you bone-scraping vultures?
Well, pack your parkas and strap on your ski jets, you’ve won an exciting vacation to our winter wonderland. Enjoy a friendly snow-ball fight with your fellow contestants. Roam on the frozen tundra with wild bison. Take a walk down the glistening white avenues and enjoy in the sights of the great frozen north.
Watch out for the murderous rampage going on all around you.
Until next time, this has been another edition of Hot Shot News!
