  1. This video popped up and I thought `who's this guy? he seems fake as you can get'. Then I realised he's an estate agent and it all made sense.
  2. i love the uncluttered emptiness, nature is the art here but i'd prefer more visual,less blokey games.
  3. Needs more flora and art around it. Looks boring without something to catch the eye.
  4. looks like a cell
