50 | * TomatoSurprise: In what starts as a [[http://www.kakujomics.com/2011/02/25/026-eggstinction/ seemingly harmless prank]], Wario and Waluigi end up pushing things much farther than they had intended. |
51 | * TheTrickster: [[http://www.kakujomics.com/2011/04/19/032-hells-salon/ Gengar's cruelty]] holds few things sacred, let alone a meek little Diglett. |
