  • South Park S3E10, Korn’s Groovy Pirate Ghost Mystery.

    The whole episode is a Scooby-Doo parody, and it’s alright. But the joke that got me thinking was this:

    Jonathan Davis: All right gang, we have to split up and look for clues!

    Stan Marsh: How should we split up?

    Jonathan Davis: I know! Let’s have everyone who enjoys having obstacles in their life which they can overcome go this way, and everyone whose insecurity sabotage their potential to overcome those obstacles go that way.

    [Everyone says “OK!”, then splits up into two roughly equal groups]

    Kyle Broflovski: Wow! That was easy!

    They just all knew which group they were in immediately. Got me thinking about which group I was in.














  • Ghostbusters on NES.

    I was a kid that inherited an NES from a family member, so they already had a ton of good games. Double Dribble, Super Mario Bros, Adventure Island. A lot of hits.

    But there were also a bunch of cool games, or so I thought. Who Framed Roger Rabbit? That looks cool. Ah, this is kinda advanced for a kid. It must be a me problem. Well, let’s check out this Ghostbusters game.

    That’s when I realized that games could be dogshit. The whole game’s music is a 30-second loop. The gameplay doesn’t even make sense, and to this day I have not tried to learn it. Nay, I refuse to.

    I felt so vindicated when I found the AVGN as I got older.
