Lovable Lists
I had to go back to the backlog once again this week but I have some interesting ones at least. KurbiosShoe (man I wish that was my username) has created a list of video game objects he wished he had in his possession. MysertiousBob has created a list of characters that aren't "good" per-say but he still kind of likes one way or another. Finally Giant Bomb user Costello has created a list of all the games he has played that did not have quests or a quest system in them.- Video Game Stuff I Wish Was Real and I Had the Only One Of (By: KuribosShoe)
