When I was little I used to get really distressed when people made a false step on that grid thing and got vaporised. I really thought they were being killed.

That and Knightmare were my introduction to horror, for want of a better term.

I had a pretty sheltered childhood, I guess - but seeing people disappear off into space, or the Knightmare head falling apart... Brr....

‘Argonds around the pond’ is a good game to play with people after a few drinks.

[u/Havok-303]

I remember this, vaguely. Wasn't one of them a plant they used to call Uncle or something like that and a Vortex ting.
