Following two surgeries and doped-out on prescription painkillers, The Spoony One returns to face his own private Apocalypse on the Atari 2600, the argued worst game ever made, E.T. The Extraterrestrial. ( http://spoonyexperiment.com/games/ET/ )

The next review should be an adventure. I still don't know what went wrong before, but I have some ideas to try and fix them so they don't happen again. I'm going to use a new method to capture game footage and hopefully that will alleviate some of the biggest problems. But I have a sneaking suspicion that the problem could lie with the footage I pulled off my DV camera, which is again something that REALLY shouldn't happen. The footage I get off that should be pure, unencoded .avi goodness. Yet whenever I tried to mess with it, it glitched out in a major way.

But I know, I know, you don't care about my technical mishaps. I persevered on this video through a hell of a lot, so keep that in mind if you think this video isn't up to usual snuff. I've pretty thoroughly humiliated myself with this review so hopefully you can get a chuckle out of that, at least.

Look for me to return to top form as I tackle John Carpenter's "The Thing" for the PC.
