Battletoads is frustrating as hell, but you really only have to play less than half of it. Start, stock up on free lives in the rope section by juggling crows, then use the speeder warp zone to skip to the snakes, and the snake warp zone to skip to the tunnels.

You're right about the caves being pretty simple - you only ever have to get to Jason's hidden cabin, and it's like ten seconds from the entrance if you know which way you're going.

Ah, Deadly Towers. I found a binder full of maps for that game a few weeks back. I had too much time on my hands as a child. Also a surprisingly large amount of graph paper.

It really ticked me off that they didn't put it on the Rare Replay connection - I know there are rights issues, but now people could actually play it 4 players without an extra attachment that no one owned.

No! Paul rowed the fastest! If he died you were guaranteed to lose a bunch of kids no matter how good you were at fighting Jason!

Fun fact about the Mad Max game - it was mostly a pared-down reskin of a Mad Max ripoff called 'Road Raider' for the Amiga!

My proudest moment as a gamer is having beaten this on the NES - even better than finishing Battletoads (by heavily abusing warp zones). It was a decade after it originally came out, and it required a horrible amount of practice, as well as drawing handmade maps of where all the best items were.

What's the significance of the picture of Michael Myers at the top of the article?

When Tammy's parents showed up I was trying to place the super-familiar voices, then they turned out to be evil cyborgs, and I kicked myself for not catching the foreshadowing-through-casting.

I feel like Rick should be a little more concerned than he is about Morty's character development, especially considering the 'problems' that can arise when a Morty starts getting too full of himself. After all, just a couple of weeks ago Morty was saying that they shouldn't bother killing a vampire because who cares,

Yup. It's a crazy super-gory thrillride and Josh Stewart is amazing in it from beginning to end. I don't know if I've ever seen a sequel that much better than the previous film.

The Collector was terrible.
The Collection is amazing.

Okay, last thing, but as a Harpie who paid really close attention to this thing, Henry couldn't have been the killer, since he had an alibi for two of the murders he winds up claiming to have committed, and at least one of those his dad couldn't have possibly done.

Also, the writers of 'I Still Know What You Did Last Summer' could have sued for plagiarism, down to it having identical dialogue at one point.

The thing that bothered me most about Harper's Island was that they spent week after week developing possible motives to explain why various people might have killed various other people, and then in the end one guy killed everybody because he was crazy.

To re-state the obvious, man did Harry Shearer drop out at the right time.

It's just too bad they couldn't get Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen to be the ones in the fake Funny or Die video, as they'd obviously intended.

I love dropping Boon in a little more than halfway through the season. It's like Stark Wilson in Shane - the bad guy who gets called in when things get serious, and lets us know right away that things are going to go very poorly for everyone.

How perfect was the fact that Frankie's attempt to contact a character played by the same actress apparently opened a portal to hell?

As this episode closed out, I suddenly realized that I hadn't thought about Breaking Bad in four weeks. This is just fully its own show.
