Braid is the annoying friend everyone has that quotes the most obscure movies and books, swiftly continuing the conversation before anyone can catch their breath. While being in their presence gives you the warm feeling of being wrapped in a blanket that knows everything, it’s not long before you want to punch their stupid face in.

Well they have, but you get the idea.
