Hit the jump, then tell me the name of that game so I can download an emulator and get my groove back game on.

    8-Bit Interview is a minute and a half of video game characters applying for a job. It's hit-n-miss, but I'd still hire the following: Link, Peppy and Solid Snake. The rest I would not only NOT hire, but sue for sexual harassment. "Geez GW, remind me to never work for you." ... / Continue →
