Classic. That Bad Robert seems like one helluva dude.
"What's your favorite arcade cabinet video game of all time?" Bad Robert asked, more as a statement than as a question.
"Hmmm... in a death match between Q*Bert and Donkey Kong for my affections, I'd have to go with Donkey Kong." I replied, not really sure if I was telling the truth.
"WRONG! The correct answer is Defender... Defender is the answer we were looking for!" he screams through iChat so loudly that I fear my MacBook display will crack. "What about home video game on a console?"
"Uhhhhh... Lego Star Wars 2, maybe?" I say, readying myself for more screaming.
"WRONG! We were looking for Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time... also acceptable would have been Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, and Halo," he says with a note of pity in his voice. "Last question... favorite computer game of all time?
"Errr... that's a tough one... I'd have to go with StarCraft... or possibly Dungeon Master... or maybe Warlords 2," I say, almost in a whisper.
"WRONG! WRONG! WRONG!" he bellows, eyes blazing... "The correct answer is Half Life 2."
"I see. Well, I guess I didn't win any prizes then," I say dejectedly.
"Sure you do... you win a consolation bitch-slap the next time I see you," Robert says while mimicking a slap across his webcam... "seriously, Lego Star Wars is your favorite video game of all time?!? Later!"
The screen goes blank.
A half-hour later I get a text on my iPhone... "Can I borrow your copy of Lego Star Wars 2 next time I'm in town?"
I wonder if my prize is transferrable?
The correct answer was the ocarina of time though of Course. Lego Star Wars is merely fun. Ocarina is a lifestyle.

QBert (although Burger Time was pretty cool), Princess Tomato and Insane Aquarium (or maybe Hidden Expedition: Titanic)...
Yeah, I know, I don't get a prize either.

Lego Star Wars 2 is an AWESOME game! You got that right! I love it. My four-year-old loves it. And we can play together. That's a win-win.

Transfer that prize! Two guys bitch-slapping should be fun to watch.

It's totally transferable. I am speaking from experience.

Bad Robert can be such a cranky bastard. Especially when he's channeling John McLaughlin.
