Thanks for reading! I hope you like this thread, I spent a long time making it. I'm sure I've forgotten loads stuff, so just post it below. And I'm also sure I've made a few grammar/spelling mistakes and possible some things aren't in alphabetical order. Feel free to point it out. Anyway...

Thanks,
- Wake

 

Thanks took ages to make lol

 

MV - Meegos Village. Another ATA game

 

1) didn't know dilly had a thread.
2) this is more up to date.

 

@pinky. This thread is way more current than Dillys. True it's similar in some ways, but it has lots of new additions.

There is more than 1 hansel guide, more than 1 music thread, etc. I'm open for stuff that I've forgotten to add in to this. Please do not complain about this being like Dilly's, I've already explained multiple times how this is WAY more current.

If you continue, I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to leave my thread. Thanks.
