A plastic mound of cocaine?

It did.

And now you can find pretty much any kind of action figure you want from politicians to older movies and TV shows and things you wouldn't even imagine people would, like Welcome Back Cotter action figures.

So it told the time, and it was a game.

So they call it the Game & Watch.

But that's where the D-pad came from.

And Donkey Kong is a game that really took great advantage of...

Of the D-pad, and it just seemed like the natural, and now they make the little mini joysticks, which are great.

Yeah.

And I didn't realize this, but apparently companies intentionally will release like a very limited run of some where like they're missing their thumb or like it's mislabeled on the package to make these things to make them valuable for the aftermarket, the collector's market, which seems really untoward to me.

But some, I think the Xbox, do they have joysticks, or do they still use that D-pad?

I don't know.

I remember addicted, so I gave it up.

So you never played an Xbox?

Gaming the collector's market by manufacturers, that's just the opposite of what you're supposed to do.

No, no.

I've seen ads for it, but I can't recall the controller.

Yeah, I played a lot of my same friend, John Pindell, who you know, John.

Is that verified?

He's backstage in New York, John.
