Gaze into the crystal ball...

Cross my palm with silver... which means "give me money that isn't just coppers, you cheap git". So now that's cleared up, who's for having their fortune told? Several of my favourite video game characters, it would appear.

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...
