Also, I'd just like to take a moment to show some appreciation for Rareware, one of the greatest game dev houses ever. They're responsible for so many great childhood memories, as well as breaking many technical and artistic boundaries.

Seriously, stop it. I have things I have to do like eat and sleep. If I'm found starved to death at my computer, you'll know who to blame.

"In the latest case of video game related violence, shinratdr was found dead at his house today, after spending two straight weeks reading about content cut from various video games. He was about to quit when he stumbled upon the page for the FFVII debug room and all hope was instantly lost. He will be missed, I guess."


Yeah sorry about that. Should've given some warning.
