In the video, the truck is a different color at the end. Looks like a janky spray paint job. Maybe he ran over a pedestrian and had to go “incognito”.

Some scumbags in my town apparently think that “FIRE ZONE” means “entitled asshole parking” in French.

Dragon’s Lair. Every once in a while some idiot on FB will talk about how great of a game it was. My thought in that situation: “How nice for you Mr. Moneybags!” There was no skill or strat to the game, it was just an expensive version of Simon: memorize left or right, up or down. To a poor kid like me, it was anathema to going to the arcade if I could burn through $5 in 5 minutes.

Dig-Dug gets an honorable mention: it was a slower, shittier version of Mr. Do! in my opinion. I thought I read an article that game owners could program the game to have slower reaction time which makes sense for my experience. I later found out that that was a feature in a lot of games, like in Gauntlet, they could set health pots to give more or less health, and Mortal Combat could literally cheat by cutting out frames of animation to perform certain attacks “faster”.

I’d like to see a fully fleshed out game of Cyvasse (GoT chess) or Sava from Forgotten Realms. I actually wrote down about ten pages of a half-assed attempt at Sava, years ago.

In both cases they’re borrowing the “Chess players are smart” trope. I don’t mind the trope itself, but I want to be able to follow along, and not just have them make random bullshit moves.

My Amazon Fire that I’ve had for ten years finally bricked itself. I’m positive they did it on purpose. I only paid $100 for it, so I guess I still got my money’s worth out of it.
