I could never forget this episode, lol, especially 'cause I have the same exact T-Rex toy.
Another my favorite scenes are when he's sleepy in church, slammed the door on the children who were singing, and became a conductor for Christmas songs performers.

About those "religious" games, those kind of games do make funny reviews.
The popular one is from AVGN but my favorite is this one from Cracked :



"In one of the games, there is a section when you had to lift Moses over your head, and carry him to the end of the level, where presumably, he is tossed into an ark-trash chute, off screen.
The way you lose in the Baby Moses game is by dropping Moses in the river which feels a little morbid for a game that is presumably aimed at children.
Not only have you just drown a baby, but you've doomed the Jews. Nice going, kid."

Zoo Race was still a brand new game when the article's written so I guess they haven't played that game yet.

But if it wasn't absurd, people wouldn't even remember it so I guess the absurdity worked in one way.

Final pre-order run of Analogue Mega SG coming on Oct. 28th



Quote
In case you don’t know or you forgot, the Analogue Mega SG is Analogue’s FPGA clone of the Sega Genesis/Mega-Drive system, which originally launched in 2019.
It can play your Sega Genesis game cartridges, using original Sega Genesis controllers, and can even connect to an original Sega CD/Mega-CD add-on and run CD games.
It also comes with it’s own adaptor for Sega Master System game cartridges included for free, but there are also extra adaptors for SG-1000, Mark III, Sega Card, and Game Gear games sold separately.
The main takeaway is that the Mega SG is the most feature rich Genesis clone console ever developed and the most accurate to original hardware so far.
It can run all of your Sega games in full 1080p over HDMI and has lots of options for power users to tune the audio and video to their liking. The same goes ...
