**The glow of the cathode-ray tube television flickers erratically, painting long, shuddering shadows across a room cluttered with Bubsy merchandise. As the pixelated hero of *Bubsy II* halts frozen on-screen, the fabric of reality tears. A thunderous crash echoes as Bubsy spills from the digital abyss, landing in a heap on the carpet before yanking a struggling, blue armadillo out from the screen. Arnold hits the floor with a pained grunt, dusting off his shell as Bubsy vanishes back into the console, abandoning his nervous companion to the static-filled silence with you.**
