T: I love that Ross learns from his mistakes. I think they’d also have loads to say about the Chekhov’s squirt gun that Gary plants in the beginning of the story. I feel like Eric and Kiki would have so much to say about this in their podcast. She even rocks a headband, just like Kristen. I’m thinking after she helped him out in “Super Specs,” Gary’s been crushing on her.Į: OMG, I love this theory. T: Ross’ crush isn’t just Princess Peach-like, but I’m thinking she’s based off Kirsten. Maybe they were going for generic action stock character? At least he’s not quite as dead eyed and shouty as those “Phantom Cab” brothers were.Į: Yes, he appears to have reasonable control over the volume of his speech. Olson, I feel like you’d just go with it. T: What, you don’t fondly remember all those hours wasted at the local pinball/knickknack/fix-it store? If Dr. Olson running and why, for the love of god, is it in the mall? He’s like an all-purpose fix-it guy who also makes knicknacks? I don’t get it. Also, I’m not sure we’ve seen acting this bad since “The Tale of the Phantom Cab.” And what the hell kind of shop is Mr. Ross is.awful? Arrogant and whiny and clueless. Just like with “Dark Music,” the protagonist is set up as being sympathetic because he’s poor.Į: It’s still not enough for me to like him. T: I just assumed Gary brought the Game Boy, but that does take away the fun of him ending up with it. Smart, Gare, real smart.Įrin: I appreciate that they always tie the intro to the story, but don’t you think this one’s a little too convenient to be believable? Unless Gary happened to have advanced knowledge that his fellow Midnight Society members are game-obsessed, I’m not buying it. Troy: You got to love Gary foreshadowing the ending (resetting games) right in his opening monologue.

None of the Midnight Society members want to touch the Game Boy after that, so Gary ends up with a free Game Boy. Olson looming over the pinball machine, gazing down at a very tiny Ross and informing him that he’ll be playing the game “forever.” Just when Ross thinks he’s finally won and saved Princess Sophie, the game starts over. He soon finds himself literally sucked into the game, on a quest through the mall to save Princess Sophie from the evil Executioner, who looks curiously like Mr. After embarrassing himself in front of a cute girl named Sophie, Ross starts playing pinball. Olson hesitates and then allows Ross to watch the store for a bit, but gives him strict instructions not to touch the pinball machine in the back.

Ross is scoping the mall for loose change when he decides to bug shopkeeper Mr.

But what if there were no second chances? Gary points out that the stakes are low in video games because you can always start over. David is getting super-stressed over his Game Boy when Eric “accidentally” resets the game.
