You do that, I will wait.
Turns out he got stabbed to death in prison.... (Like for real). Gee, that got dark pretty quick.

(Yes, I actually DO know of a person from my graduating class that went to Juvy for screwing his neighbor's pig)

I don't know. It reminds me too much of the Power Glove. I still have buyer's remorse from that damn thing. I saw the commercials. It looked amazing. I started saving up for it with my paper route money and my decision was reinforced when I saw the movie "The Wizard". I had to have it. I wanted to be the cool kid on the block with the power glove. So, once I had the money, off to the store I went to pick it up.

I brought it home and unboxed it all. There was quite a bit more to it than I expected. There were these weird sensors that I had to place around my TV. The problem was, I had one of those big, wood, floor standing console tv's (a "big screen" 25 inch model if I remember correctly) with the speakers built in to the sides of it. So the sensors wouldn't sit like they were supposed to on the upper corner. But, a couple hours later and some jury rigging, it was up and running.

I immediately hated it. The glove was stiff and unresponsive. It didn't react near as quickly or as accurately as Nintendo games demanded. It was a whole different class of video games back then and milliseconds decided your life or death. The issues with the Power Glove resulted in immediate and frequent deaths. I actually had better results using the buttons on the back of the controller to play the game. I was so dissapointed. After trying for days to beat the learning curve, I gave up. The Power Glove sat on my shelf from that day on doing nothing more than prominently displaying my shame in getting caught up with the hype.
