Watching the new season of Shark Tank and they managed to immediately become a parody of itself by having one of the pitches be Ball 2, the sequel to Ball, powered by AI. To really seal the deal, the ball 2's battery is not rechargeable or designed to be replaced.
![This Shotgun represents MacSoft playing at dethroning God. Every dev and their dogs knew, back in 1996, just how legendary the Doom 2 Super Shotgun was, and almost everybody sought its throne, Prime Target being no exception. Ironically, they bump into the same exact problem the SSG had, in that the shotgun is effectively the only Good Gun in all of Prime Target, and they KNOW this, which is why they practically bury you in shotgun shells while every other gun in the game gets to starve. But a lot like the Super Shotgun, its power is reliant entirely on how good you are at Shotgun Jousting, or charging straight towards somebody and blasting them point-blank before they can get a hit in. If you miss, or get an unlucky damage roll that doesn't erase the man in front of you, it's gonna hurt.
