"Nintendo’s innovative life-simulation game Animal Crossing used the GameCube’s internal clock, so whenever you entered your virtual village, your animal neighbors knew what day it was. The persistent world meant you needed to remember to save your game before you turned it off. Nintendo’s way of reminding you was an obnoxious mole named Mr. Resetti.
If you reset the game, Resetti would pop out of the ground the next time you turned it on and lecture you about the dangers of quitting without saving. It was a punishment. You couldn’t get back to your game until you paged through his minutes-long diatribe. Sometimes he’d even pretend to reset the game in his attempt to scare you straight. –Chris Kohler"
This is absolutely hilarious. It just gets better and better as time goes on...
