Join us as we spin the age-old yarn about a psychic Moon Man telepathically manipulating your long-lost brother (through his blood, mind you) into collecting a bunch of magic crystals so he can exterminate the entire human race. If you've heard it once, you've heard it a thousand times, y'know? We've all been there.
