If I were to ever sit down and compose a list of my top ten favorite video games of all time, the Apple II version of Oregon Trail would be on it. Chum and all-around good guy Sho passed along this link to a fan-created graphic novel about the game. It asks the same perplexing question myself and others have wondered for decades now: why the can't you haul a mere 100 pounds of meat back to your wagon?

Here's a note that arrived in the comments section this morning:

I went to see 'Ghost Rider' with a friend at Pioneer Place (10:15 show) on Saturday night. We waited in line at Broadway to try and see the Korean flick 'The Host', but that show was sold out, so Ghost Rider was are only alternative. I'm thinking you meant me since I'm 6'9 don't fit in the theater seats and I thought the film was fairly absurd. I generally like comic book films that are done well, but Ghost was not one of them.

So that tall guy in the auditorium on Saturday was *not* a Blazer. This just goes to show that not everyone over 6'5 in this town plays for an NBA franchise. I was a schmuck for assuming otherwise. Thanks for setting the record straight, Jim.

Still, one mystery remains: has the real Joel Pryzbilla seen Ghost Rider? If so, did he laugh through half of it?
