2000 tries… by then, you’ll see his thumbs’ bones!

I think I remember this arc. Paige winds up driving him crazy.

And then Jason realizes that he needs to hold down for at least a second.

I hate the impossible levels. I just quit.

I never did get into video games, but then again things like “Space Invaders” didn’t make sense. The human has limited resources which he has to use wisely. The computer had infinite resources which it uses stupidly.

It’s sort of like taking on the Government or big company in court.

Only 2000 more tries, Jason? So you’re a quitter then? /s.

Games like that earned the tag “Nintendo Hard”

Face it Jason. The only way to make it past that guy is to use the cheat codes to give yourself invulnerability.

Jason is the definition of madness right now. Doing the same thing and expecting a different outcome each time.

This from a kid who likes to play on god mode.

Ah yes, the old “Red Orb Guardian”. I remember it well. Won’t ruin it for you. Have fun, Jason! Ha, ha!

The problem with video games, especially solo games, is that they give you the illusion that you are doing something, and accomplishing things, but it’s all fairy gold which disappears the next day. Physical accomplishments like sports, arts, or constructive hobbies build you something you can look back on and share with others.

Wait a second, this comic was made before Dark Souls existed!
