We just want to remind you here that those ads were paying our wages, so if you want quality posts to keep coming out, you'd better support them.
That's all for now, and have a great weekend! Look out for the second in our series of Philips CD-i posts, scheduled to come out late on Saturday. Over an' out, Bat Nerd.
