Portrait of Ruin. Symphony of the Night is a really close second though.

Road to Ruin.

About 3 years ago. My time is precious, it was either keeping up with gaming news or world news. I think I made the better choice. :)

I'd show it to my friends, who have all been debating whether they should upgrade from their Lites.

Shave it!

Bowser, stop being such an anti-SquareEnix troll.

Yoshi form! You know, from super smash brothers?

The point of minimalist advertising is that it stands out. People reading magazines tend to expect every page to be packed full of information and images. When they turn the page and see an entirely black page with that line on it, it'll catch the reader's attention more than a "conventional" advertisement. Those that notice and get the reference, like you said, are probably already going to buy the game. But the rest may remember seeing the advert later and visit the site, and possibly buy the game. Hence, good advertising.

I could have used a "Get Out of Work Free" perk earlier today.

"AAA Student - Pass exams without breaking a sweat" would be nice.
