    Jimquisition: Shadiness of Mordor

    I actually sent a polite email to Plaid Social after reading the article done by Erik Kain on Forbes and watching this vid, hoping that it might impress upon them that, even if the short-term gains might be higher due to such tactics, it WILL hurt in the long-run. I'd encourage anyone else...

    Zero Punctuation: Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs

    Do you own a rare or hard to come by item?

    Secret of Mana cartridge, Zelda 1 and 2 Gold cartridges (meaning first printings), *possibly* the Majora's Mask gold cartridge (first printing); but above those in terms of how much I could rake in - a Kobe Bryant rookie card, featuring him in a High School basketball uniform.

    Any remake you want

    Secret of Mana, from the SNES. The amount of customizability, the Real-Time fighting, and the depth of the plotline were all fantastic.
