Well that’s a relief. I wanted to work at GameStop until I heard about their COL program. Now it’s sounding like an option again.

It was actually an NPC that saved me. I was playing Fire Emblem Awakening on hard mode, and four maxed out cavaliers and a paladin came towards my army’s left flank. I hadn’t seen them and the only person standing between them and my healers was Lon’qu, my unmounted swordsman with low health. He was pretty much at…
