I don't even know now to begin describing episode two of Jmac's Arcade (Missile Command) [1] other than it being a wonderful retrospective of both the game and of growing up in the 80s under the shadow of nuclear annihilation.

Oh, and of sending letters to the President.

M.U.L.E.

And speaking of 80s video games [1], I have to wonder if this M.U.L.E (Multifunction Utility/Logistics and Equipment) [2] (link via Instapundit [3]) is foreshadowing this M.U.L.E (Multiple Use Labor Element) [4]?

Or is it the other way around?
