Hey all I’m back with the sequel to the game I covered last time for this week’s Retro Game Friday. It’s Toejam and Earl 2! Plot: The plot is a direct sequel to the first game, with the premise being that on the ship they repaired and used to get home to Funkotron, a bunch of Earthlings stowed away and are now causing chaos. Gameplay: In a radical departure from the previous game which emulated Rogue, this is a much more typical side scrolling platformer like Sonic or Mario.

To be sure, you can learn some important lessons - from finding product market fit (like targeting popular cycling routes on hot days) to pulling off premium pricing (if you’re cute enough to sell $0.30 worth of lemonade concentrate for $5 apiece, work it kiddo!).

Hey all I’m back with another Action Comedy for this week’s Movie Monday. It’s Tropic Thunder! Plot: The plot is a parody of Hollywood action films, with the entire premise being that the actors are portraying actors in an action flick. I’m sorry if that’s confusing, but it really is the quickest way to explain the story of this movie.

I was waiting for the pandemic to blow over before thinking about time management again, but it looks like there will be no simple global endpoint, so here goes.
