Let’s see you try reprogramming that game, Jason, wherein you can defeat said monster in question.

“Of course it is happening inside your head, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?”

not even a picosecond

Wanna bet he’ll take credit for the solution when he shows his grandmother?

So I should stop attacking every security guard I encounter?

Hmmm. That’s just crazy enough to work!

So, the video game boss only response to violence?

Anyone know the original date of this? I remember reading it, but can’t recall.

Usually works in real life, too.

I wonder if any game did this IRL.

He could try killing it with kindness

If video games help with problem-solving we wouldn’t need walkthroughs and game cheats.

The show “Barney Miller” had a great episode about a guy building a nuclear device in his apartment. The guy from the bomb squad said it was nothing, then Dietrich came in and hollered “Who the hell built an atomic bomb?” Or words to that effect.

It’s wondrous to see Paige triumph over Jason in one of the few things that actually matters to HIM.

When you have a big hulking monster in front of you, Video Game logic says you’re supposed to fight him. So I don’t blame Jason for not figuring out that you’re not supposed to fight him.

Impressed that Paige even knows the word “nanoseconds”.

This most definitely will be incorporated into my next dungeon adventure. (insert nasty laugh here)
