What does it cost to save the princess in less than five minutes? How many lives must be destroyed? Must the very rules of nature be bent? Can the universe even continue to exist in a single piece? For Darbian, those answers were “some practice, none, no and almost certainly.”

Our answers, though? Dramatically different.

This week we watch Darbian’s current world record speedrun for Super Mario Brothers. Aaron Littleton hosts and tries to connect multiple universes together using increasingly frail logic. John Hurst co-hosts and wonders what happens to the Luigis.

Just in time for Christmas, we unwrap the past and take a look at one of the most infamous “event” video games ever: E.T. for the Atari 2600. Produced in such enormous quantities that even its disposal is legendary, E.T. also had a pretty sweet, if somewhat terrifying in its implications, commercial to drive sales during the 1982 holiday season.

John Hurst hosts this episode and tries to clean up before the aliens come back. Aaron Littleton co-hosts and goes to the good Arby’s.

ThunderCats! There’s thunder! And cats! And…mummies I guess? Surprising everyone, including ourselves, we have just no recollection of what happens in the ThunderCats cartoon. As 30-something dudes on the internet, consider us sufficiently shamed.

Aaron Littleton is your host for this episode and chooses the ThunderCats opening theme as the video to watch on loop. John Hurst co-hosts and fills us in on matters of business. Cat.

When the fast food wars have worn you down with endless attrition and your coffers have run dry, there’s little do to but turn to…less ethical methods of selling your products. Like hypnotic suggestion in your commercials for ice cream. Yeah Carvel, we see through your game.

John Hurst is your host for this episode and chooses a classic Carvel commercial for us to watch on loop. Aaron Littleton is your co-host and hates this decision very much.

What happens if you look into space without a vacuum or a space suit? It looks EXACTLY like  the Regal Cinema Feature Presentation Reel. Yes, even with the corporate sponsorships. Find out why on this week’s Video Death Loop!

Aaron Littleton hosts this week, staring into the cosmic veneer of a popcorn kernel while John Hurst co-hosts reflects on a teenerage’s good reasons to quit a job.
