Love Final Fantasy IV.  It was my first RPG and Final Fantasy game, actually.</p>http://blog.thedrunkenmoogle.com/post/17779303150http://blog.thedrunkenmoogle.com/post/17779303150Fri, 17 Feb 2012 15:27:00 -0500final fantasygamingkainspoilers<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lze6e0Dpc11qbtx2eo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><strong>You Complete Me<br/></strong>by <a href="http://www.4colorrebellion.com/archives/2006/02/10/happy-st-valentines-day-from-mitch/">Mitch at 4colorrebellion</a></p>http://blog.thedrunkenmoogle.com/post/17610730806http://blog.thedrunkenmoogle.com/post/17610730806Tue, 14 Feb 2012 11:42:00 -0500gamingvalentine's daytetris
