There he meets a criminologist and a cowboy, each with his own interpretation of how the coach bought it. Only after the intervention of a blind jogger does Brett learn the truth, though at a price more costly than death itself—as if death weren’t expensive enough!

For the outpatient high on skipping, researchers provide a list of hassle-free start-me-ups, including oatmeal and yogurt. Nowhere on the list does it say anything about microwave burritos.

Lifelike Entertainment has a theory about violent video games: they shouldn't be complicated. While the successful completion of a dangerous mission can be rewarding, it doesn't hold a candle to blowing someone's face off with a double-barreled shotgun.

Larry Larzboil will eat whatever it takes to win the approval of Art, Pep, and Genny. He has devoured every dish they’ve placed before him—even the Won Ton Waffles. But when they pit him against fellow party animal Breadcrumb in a crudely planned eat-off, Larry snaps on his friends-cum-oppressors, and the game of “What Would You Rather Eat?” turns deadly.
