Review: This was a triumph - It's hard to really go into too much detail about this product since it is in essence, just a bag. However, I am very pleased overall with how well it was made and how nice it looks. I'd been using another game-esque messenger bag for my laptop and other work related items for the last several years and it was just starting to wear out. I wanted to find something that looked sharp, held everything I needed it to, but still had that geek quality I liked about my old Nintendo bag. Lots of space inside the bag for everything you need. There is a Velcro section inside the big part that holds a standard-size laptop snugly. My machine is an older 15 inch dell from a few years back and there is plenty of extra room in this pouch for something larger. There are also several smaller sections that hold pens, keys, phone, notepads, and other electronics. I'm currently using the bigger zipper section for my mouse and laptop power cord. I'm going to see if I can post some pictures of the inside since the only one attached to the item doesn't really show too much other than the outside and a smaller view of the inside design. But I would definitely recommend this for someone who needs a good solid bag for their computer and/or books for work or school, but doesn't want to just get a standard run of the mill bag to carry everything in. This bag is not a lie; you monster. :)
Review: We ran it over with an H1 Hummer . . .on the H1 Freeway - I purchased this bag in 2015 as an accessory to an Aperture Science cosplay for Kawaii Kon that year. After the convention was over I continued to use this bag as a daily driver just because of its size, this bag has been tormented ever since. Beach parties, normal parties, flying off my roof on the H1 freeway then getting run over by an H1 Hummer which was hilarious to all of us, it has been on fire, it has been buried in mud, used as an umbrella, used to put out a fire, fallen down stairs, fallen down mountains and in the Pacific Ocean. High mileage, high impact mileage at that. I think one of the little buckles broke in the front when it was being used to beat out that fire, got a new one a Ben Franklin's, still use it to this day. It's a pretty little piece but they are damn durable too for some reason. . .or at least they were in 2015. Buy one Go on an adventure Do it You know you want to. Just don't do any of those things I just said with a laptop inside the bag, they don't survive too well but that's what insurance is for. It looks much more. . .Aperturey. . . after all of that too.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: can this fit a school binder and books for high school?**
A: Yes. It will fit books, binders, and a laptop.

**Q: What do you call this style bag - with the cross back strap instead of the standard shoulder strap?**
A: I've had the same question and haven't found a decent answer. Best I've seen and been able to figure is that it's a "courier messenger bag". 
Even with that it's been fairly difficult to find more than about three or four different bags made like this. Which is a shame, I love the cross-chest-one-shoulder-diagonal-across-the-back design and wish there were more options than just styled for a video game I care nothing about, or spending two hundred bucks. 
Timbuk2, Chrome Industries, and 5.11 each have a take on this design.

**Q: Is it possible for the bag to rest against your waist like a standard messenger bag, or is on your back the only option?**
A: Against your side doesn't work so well, it would be nice but it slips so on your back is what its designed for.

**Q: Could you wear this the standard way, with a shoulder strap?**
A: No it dosnt have the shoulder straps, just one big shoulder to side strap
