OMg. I love love love that A Softer World comic – thank you so much for that link. I might even buy a print. It’s kind of perfect.
Kotaku actually syndicated that top 10 list from GamingAngels.com, which is where the article originally appeared. However, Kotaku forgot to, or neglected to link to the original article. The post on Border House references the original article. :)
Thanks, updated the post.
