In Missouri prisons, people can purchase some Nintendo Game Boy Advance titles on their Securus tablets. Last year, Byron wrote about how Harvest Moon took over his facility: "About a week after the game was made available, it was the only thing you heard many prisoners here talking about."

To commemorate hitting the pie level (314) in Fallout on Thanksgiving, I spent several hours in-game delivering pumpkin pie to people and messaging them “Happy Thanksgiving!”
