Many years ago, when I got Link's Awakening for Game Boy, I would hear the sound of picking up rupees long after playing. It really did sound like it was coming from the world around me. It's never happened since, as far as I can recall. It definitely seemed real.

Who has time to install fire detectors when you're busy trying to give your kids terrible names?

You know, people are going to say that stuff like SantaCon is part of the WAR ON CHRISTMAS, but in reality, this is the most traditional you can get.
