Imagine you go to school and get to spend all day in the computer lab (your favorite place). You’ve been playing your favorite game Coffee all the time and you think you’re pretty good at it. You’re so good at it that the teach downloads Coffee V2 on to your computer. You heard some of the other kids get to use the internet and other applications developed and owned by other people other than Teach’s brother (The Priest)? You even heard that some of the other kids go outside and play with things in the real world and talk to one another. That sounds so dangerous and Teach would never approve. Anyways, you can play any version Coffee game you would ever want.

Hmm I wonder what everyone else does all day anyways? Teach says not to worry about it.
