"These Are The Carts For Left Handed, Tuesday-Stunned Players Of Southern European Extraction," "Everything You've Ever Wanted To Know About Videogames That Are Best Played In the Back Seat of a Lime Green Gremlin Traveling In Reverse To a Destination Just West of Low-Sodium Gomorrah'' and VIDIOT's infamous Dr. Omar Von Elmo and his grim expose on "Arcade Injuries."
