The class system is outrageously unbalanced.

I'm imagining Cubone, Batman, Bambi, Harry Potter, and all of the other fictional characters with dead mothers, congregating at the bar together and sharing their issues.

They even got Sonic's sassy finger-wag in there. So awesome.

TONIGHT ON FOX: SALARIES SLASHED AT VIDEO GAME COMPANY, IS OBAMACARE TO BLAME?

These would make awesome D&D miniatures if you were to dress up in costume when having the image taken.

Having failed to capture the Hipster market that Apple dominates, Microsoft's next demographic gambit is otaku-based advertising.
