Yep, you can tell where this one's headed.

Yes, yes, the Founding Fathers - TJ, Ben Franklin, Abraham Lincoln, Col. Sanders - they were all awesome guys. Four score and ... a bunch of years ago, on July 4th, 1776, they defeated the British at Gettysburg and established such concepts as "freedom," "no taxation without representation," and "mattress sales." We have much to be grateful to them for. You too, England. Say you love America, goddammit! Say it!

But I think there were some others who were just as instrumental in establishing the greatest video gaming nation on Earth. Working behind the scenes. Erased from the original version of that painting and replaced by guys who appear on money. Your challenge: Put them back, and make history safe for the rest of the world.

Master Chief. Yoshi. Phoenix Wright. Batman. The Rock Band Wall Guy. Anyone. Put them in this picture, or put the guys from this picture in a game. Alternatively, add some more signatures to that document. Let freedom ring.
