Take a sip of your potion of choice (beer, coffee, Ogre Knuckle on the rocks), and imagine along with me the following scenario: An Elf and an Orc are at a morning charity event, looking to donate a small percentage of their annual earnings so as to guarantee that younglings…
Read MoreI don’t think the Disgaea franchise gets quite the level of appreciation that it really deserves.
