The Balance of Strategy and Fun in Gaming

Sam Brenner There's no rhyme or reason to this game. Where are the patterns? He just attacks at a left field.

[watching Matty play "The Last of Us" on the PlayStation 3]

Matty Patterns? Is that why you were so good with Pac-Man and Centipede? You memorized the patterns?

Sam Brenner Yeah. Only way to beat these things. Count the bullets, calculate the speed, crunch the numbers.

Matty Where's the fun in that?

Sam Brenner Oh, boy. Why? What do you do?

Matty You gotta pretend you're the guy and you don't wanna die.

Sam Brenner Yeah, that sounds cool, but it's not gonna work every time.

Matty That's why you have your reset button.

Sam Brenner Yeah, we didn't have those growin up. Most violent game I've ever seen. Eh-eh, I don't think it's healthy for ya.

[about "The Last of Us"]

Matty It's fine, I can handle it.

[thinking Sam Brenner is talking to him]

Sam Brenner No, I'm not talking to you, I'm talking to homeboy.

[to Matty; clarifying]

Q*Bert So much blood!

[shaking in fear]

Sam Brenner Yeah. Hey, you know what'll cheer ya up? A cheese ball.

Q*Bert Yep.

Sam Brenner Huh? Come on, suck one up. Take a handful. That was smooth. That was very smooth! You know, we should get him some exercise, maybe throw him on the trampoline for a little bit?

[Q*Bert sucks up a cheese ball.; throws a handful of cheese balls in the opposite direction, and Q*Bert sucks them in.; chuckles; to Matty]

Q*Bert Trampoline! Trampoline! Trampoline!

[excitedly]

Matty Okay. How about me and him do that while you go ask my mom to the ball tomorrow night?

Sam Brenner Unfortunately, I'm not attracted to your mother.

Q*Bert Bullcrap!

[as his signature swear bubble appears]

Sam Brenner You're right, I am. Okay. Here, finish these. Your gettin chubby.

[to Q*Bert; Q*Bert finishes cheese ball container; Q*Bert chuckles]

Defining Pac-Man's True Nature and Purpose

Violet Gentlemen, I'll be sending Pac-Man's current coordinates to each of your car's GPSes. Let's locate and eliminate.

Will Cooper Come on, guys.

Sam Brenner Pac-Man's a bad guy?

[confused]

Professor Iwatani Pac-Man is not bad! I created him to bring joy to all the people of the world! They have brainwashed him! Deep down, he's kind, gentle. Someone you can tell your troubles to or grab a hamburger with.

Professor Iwatani You'll see.

Violet Professor Iwatani, get back in the car!

Sam Brenner Professor Iwatani, what are you doing?!

Professor Iwatani I will talk to him. He's my son!

Sam Brenner No, that's a bad idea.

Professor Iwatani Hello, my sweet, little boy. Look how big you've grown. I'm so proud of you.

[to Pac-Man]

Ludlow Lamonsoff It's so sweet. He's so sweet.

Professor Iwatani But all these destructive things you're doing, it's wrong. I'm your father. I know, you're a good boy.

Ludlow Lamonsoff NOOOOO!!!!

Professor Iwatani SOMEBODY KILL THIS STUPID BITCH!!!!

Sam Brenner That was some twisted Pinocchio-Geppetto stuff right there!

[shocked and horrified]

Eddie Plant All right, losers! It's 3 on 1. Let's hit it!

Sam Brenner Pac-Man's faster than I remember!

Eddie Plant Pac-Man's always been faster than the ghosts. We're gonna have to out-maneuver his ass. Wonder-fro, you and Silver Medal break off. I'll stay with Big Yellow.

[he and the Arcaders sharply turn around a car.; The Arcaders go in different directions.]

Violet Whoa! Eddie, how did you do that so fast?

[sees Eddie's car going another way very quickly.]

Eddie Plant Cause I'm the champ, Lieutenant Long Legs.

Ludlow Lamonsoff Nope!

Sam Brenner What's up?

Eddie Plant OH, YEAH!

[kills Pac-Man]

Will Cooper Good one, Eddie.

Eddie Plant Whew.

Sam Brenner One down!

[on radio]

Violet Two to go! All right, Pac-Man #2 just regenerated four streets away headed North Bound. Turn east at the next intersection. Brenner, go straight.

[the Arcaders go another way.]

Sam Brenner Got it.

Violet Ludlow, go left. Eddie, at the next intersection, turn left.

[Ludlow does so]

Ludlow Lamonsoff We got him! He's got nowhere to go!

Sam Brenner Oh, God. No!

[shocked]

Violet Oh, God, no" what?

Ludlow Lamonsoff He ate the Power Pellet! Pac-Man has got 10 seconds where he can eat us! Why me?! Oh, God, don't eat me, don't eat me, don't eat me. Please, please don't eat me. GUYS! HELP! I'M GONNA DIE A VIRGIN! Why are you doing this to me? YOU'VE BEEN BRAINWASHED! YOU'RE A GOOD BOY!

[Pac-Man starts chasing Ludlow; Ludlow runs away; Pac-Man starts eating Ludlow's Ghost Car, and he screams in terror; Ludlow barely escapes the Ghost Car before it gets eaten by Pac-Man. Then Pac-Man turns around and continues chasing Ludlow.; Ludlow runs for his life.]

Will Cooper LUDLOW, RUN! PUMP YOUR LEGS! GO, BABY!

Will Cooper ATTABOY, EDDIE!

[as the people in the office cheer]

Eddie Plant You just got fire-blasted, sucka!

[chuckles]

Ludlow Lamonsoff Uh-huh.

[makes finger guns at Eddie; weakly; faints from fear]

Eddie Plant What?

[sighs]

Violet How the Hell did he get over there so fast?

Sam Brenner Way to go, champ!

[to Eddie]

Eddie Plant Aren't you glad you sprung me, Second Place?

Sam Brenner Yeah. Thrilled. One more to go and it's Happy Hour.

[sarcastically; normally]

Ludlow Lamonsoff So I, I guess they're just leaving me here.

Eddie Plant Now it's time for the hat trick.

Sam Brenner Wow!

Violet Brenner, it's on you. There are still 3 other Power Pellets out there, so stay alert.

Sam Brenner I got this. If I don't, the world ends. Can't let that happen.

Will Cooper Come on, Brenner. Come on.

Violet Brenner, he's leading you directly towards one of the Power Pellets. Get out of there.

Sam Brenner One.

[with a game face]

Violet What the Hell is he doing?

[confused]

Sam Brenner Two.

[backs up]

Violet Damn it, Brenner, I have a son who I'd like to see grow up!

[angrily]

Sam Brenner Three. You'll see your boy grow up. Four.

[Pac-Man chases him into parking garage]

Violet Brenner, get out! He's going to eat you!

[alarmed]

Sam Brenner Five. Six. Seven. Eight. Nine. ...Ten!

[getting chased through the parking garage.; closes his eyes tight. The Ghost Car and Pac-Man fly through the air in slow motion, and Pac-Man opens his mouth, about to eat Sam Brenner.; barely kills Pac-Man Number Three. At normal speed, he lands on another part of the parking garage, and he breathes heavily, as Pac-Man powers down.]

Will Cooper OH! OH! YOU DID IT! BRENNER! THAT'S THE ONE, BABY!

[as everyone cheers wildly; He and his wife hug. Two Admiral's shake hands. Violet sees Sam Brenner exit his Ghost Car and chuckles in disbelief as Sam Brenner emerges from the parking garage]

Man in Crowd He's over here!

Facing Uncertainty and Loss Together

Ludlow I can't believe they took Matty as a trophy. I'm so sorry.

Sam Well, there's gotta be something we can do.

Ludlow Where's Eddie?

Sam Eddie... Yeah, he crawled into a hole. We'll never see him again. Chewie won't take my calls. Violet got ]. We're on our own, guys.

[stands up; [The Lorax (2012 film)|the boot]

Q*Bert This feels like my planet. No fun, no laughter, only war.

Violet Wait. Wait a second. Q*Bert is from there. He knows all their secrets.

Q*Bert We were once a happy planet before you threatened us.

Sam But we didn't threaten you. Y-You saw footage of old games.

Q*Bert They do not know they are games.

Violet Well, why didn't you tell them that, Q*Bert, and stop them?

Q*Bert It's too late! And now the mothership is creating millions of {{w|Kamen Rider Ex-Aid|videogame warriors}} to destroy your planet.

Violet Look, all we have to do is get inside the mothership and try to stop them. We can rescue Matty while we're up there.

Ludlow Up there? You wanna go up there? I don't know about that. Y'know, they took away our light cannons. I don't think that's such a good idea.

Sam We have something better than light cannons. We have a positive ].

[[Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian|can-do attitude]

Q*Bert Ah...!

[reassured]

Sam I'm kidding. We are all gonna die. I'm just... Sorry.

Consequences of Misunderstanding in a Crisis

Jim Porter What did you do?!

[storms through the crowd to Sam Brenner]

Sam Brenner I didn't do anything. I-I thought we obeyed every rule.

Jim Porter ], civilian! We squandered our one chance on you, a hi-fi repair man.

[[Shrek|You thought wrong]

Sam Brenner But I-I swear...

[nervously]

Jim Porter But nothin'! You heard ]! ] I've seen your files. You never accomplished a darn thing in your entire life.

Violet Brenner won 2 battles, Admiral. That's 2 more than you.

[stands up for Sam]

Jim Porter I wouldn't get smart with me, Colonel! You were all over the sideshow that did nothing but waste valuable time. Sometimes I wonder if you're not working for the ] yourself!

[[Space Jam: A New Legacy|Martians]
