While it’s true that imitation can be flattering, someone always takes things a little too far. Certain obsessive individuals copy a person’s dress, hang out at the same spots and generally follow a little too closely for comfort. Where Crash Bandicoot Nitro Kart and Krazy Kart Racing could be described politely as having ripped off […]
