mikeo1229  - 7 months 28 days ago 
Yay! N3 was on there, I heard a while back that there was a sequel announced for it, hope I see some news about it soon.

i think there were a few copouts on there...but it's only to be expected. I almost think you just started thinking 'say, these games have numbers...why not?;

that opening was one of the funniest things i've read today.

68 was my favorite.
This must have taken some time, good job.
Corsair89  - 7 months 28 days ago 
You guys really dug deep into the archives to find some of these. Well done
sixboxes  - 7 months 28 days ago 
a couple of those were a bit of a stretch, but that list was more awesome than I could've imagined.
ThunderMuffinsMcgee  - 7 months 28 days ago 
Nice! I never realized the numbers in titles before. Good work.
