A very silly self-guided tour through the history of videogames, from Advance Wars to Zork. Except chronologically. So it would be the other way around.

All four boys sit down to unpack E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial for the Atari 2600, frequently saddled with the title of "Worst Game Ever." We discuss whether we think that's a fair assessment, as well as why the videogame market crashed in 1983 and whether we were ever gifted any terrible games. Ryan makes several off-color jokes, Jordan brings up "Custer's Revenge," and Nate eats from a bag of Reese's Pieces to regain his energy.

Nate, Sebastian, and Ryan return from holiday hiatus to discuss Robotron: 2084, the apocalyptic action classic that popularized the twin-stick shooter. Come for a discussion of robots and flashing lights, stay to learn Ryan's grievous misconception about the Williams Sonoma corporation and Sebastian's morbid fascination with Sean Connery's outfit in "Zardoz." 

This episode is rated "Explicit" because Ryan says a swear once and also uses the term... ugh... "Thick Dad."
