After all, you've conquered all the Final Fantasies, Chrono Trigger, Mass Effect 1&2, and even Baldur's Gate.

"Wait a minute, maybe I'm on to something here!" You jump out of your Laz-E-Boy and dash upstairs to your computer. After masturbating to some really out there Asian animal porn, you head back downstairs to catch the latest episode of Family Guy.
