No sane person thinks that Indiana Jones is the best game on the Atari 2600. It was a confusing mess of a game that no one understood. Funny enough, I still have both E.T. and Indiana Jones carts and they still work. You can't kill pure evil.

The books are good-ish, but are wildly different from the show and I am not sure I can wholeheartedly recommend them to people just because they like the show. IMO the books, as written, wouldn't not be able to be made into a show that most people would want to watch. And yet, I only tried watching the show because of the books and didn't stick with it because of how different it was. It could be worth your time, but it's not a slam dunk.
All I know is that I am getting some mixed feelings from the menu items with names like "Big Fux XXL"
We don't see enough Fringe memes.
There's the twist M Night Shyamalan wishes he could still pull off.
I had a coworker that had bats take up residence in his attic and he wasn't allow to remove them. That was all fine and well (not really because of the horrific noises) until they gnawed through the drywall and started pouring into his house. I can't get the image out of my head of him swinging a tennis racket at them as they flew around his living room. It was right out of an 80s comedy except he had to live with the results. In the end, he just moved because he couldn't do anything else. From that point forward, I decided that I would tell no one about bats if they wormed into my home and would make sure they wanted to leave.
I've often wondered about what a person can legally do if bats have moved into their home. My initial crazy thought was to get some new "pets" that are bat predators. Who wouldn't want a house filled with racoons, snakes, and venomous spiders?
I'm not sure what's more alarming here: the bat bugs or the people willing to steal fingers out of spite.
I had a feeling you were talking about Logitech. I've repaired a several over the years, but only the switches and teflon pads. I'm a big fan of the MX500 style mice which includes both the G604 and the G700. I am currently using a MX518 (re-release) and G500s. Next time you repair one of the mice, consider taking a look at using the tactile non-clickly omron switches that are compatible with these mice. It was really refreshing to not have the mouse making the clicking noise.
I learned to drive on two cars because my parents were divorced: my Dad's Ford Ranger (manual) and my Mom's silly "talking" Chrysler Laser (it literally talked to you, felt weirdly futuristic see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_voice_alert ). I never really had a problem with using a clutch, it was the lack of power steering on that truck that sucked. I made sure that I never bought a car without power steering after learning on that truck.
You'd at least think KMFDM would get mentioned in the giant band name dropping in that last panel. Also, KMFDM is my favorite industrial band as well o/
I think I made it clear I was a kid in the 80s and yes it was very bad. It was the worst game I owned on the Atari and that was the opinion of all of my friends. Of course, I didn't expect it to be famously bad, and didn't hear about all of that until the mid 90s with people talking about it on the internet which has blown it out of proportion. It was almost certainly not even the truly worst game on the Atari, but it was the worst and most frustrating game that I played. I'd play Yars Revenge over it any day and I don't even particularly care for Yars Revenge as it did get very old after a while (2600 games were generally not known for their depth).
As a side note, everyone always focuses on the worst games for Atari, usually E.T., but I mostly try not to think about those. Late in the Atari life, it got some surprisingly decent games that based on the early stuff, you would think impossible on the system. It got very decent ports of Mario Bros and Commando. It got an excellent (for the time) pinball game Midnight Magic, it had a decent wrestling game Title Match Pro Wrestling. These are the games we should be talking about, fuck E.T. forever.
