Hey, it looks like a Stalone film: Cliffhanger, Rambo III, Daylight, or X-Files,; should I go on? Monkeyjack sent this to me. Charlie really gets a big kick out of these simple plastic things. I suppose if they were so easily availabel when I was a kid, I might also have found them extra special.

One could make an association between this and mutant vials seen in movies, or like Goblin formula in Spiderman. Okay, I needed a seque to mutants.

I was over there yesterday and Charlie had a bugger of a time with a particular game, X-Men Legends.

Let me explain the unfairness of the game:
only specific points in the game to save (sometimes long, far apart),
no difficulty setting,
no realistic way to play multiplayer until full completion of game,
collectible tokens of no value,
typical useless dialogue that does not further the game nor enlighten or entertain the player,
limited in-game instructions,
replay restarts at level 1,
no replay with multiple players (see note regarding completion of game)

I give it an "F", which is a more typical ranking for games, otherwise I would give it a 2.2 on a 10-point scale.
