But who dare tells the lambs in spring what fate the later seasons bring? This fortune teller, obviously. Basically, this is a gallery of funnies where video game characters are hearing predictions about their future, which we can lol at because we already know the outcome. So come on in--the clouds in the crystal ball are parting...
