Wanna know how I got these scars?
My father was a platformer fan...and a fiend. One night, he goes off craaaazier than usual. Mommy downloads Sniper Stress Reliever v1.0 to defend herself. He doesn't like that. Not one bit. So, with me watching, he takes the pointless game from her, laughing while he does it. He turns to me, and he says, "Why no video calc reviews?" Comes at me with the calculator... "Why no video calc reviews?!" Sticks the lackluster gameplay and shoddy controls in my mouth... "I wanted a SMILE on my FACE-UH!!"
And........... why no video calc reviews?

What the...
Okay, so what do you mean no video calc review? Is there a calc with a video camera on or it something? (I think I'll go hook up my ps2 camera and my calculator together, now. Is there any data reference online?)
So seriously, what do you mean by video calc reviews? |

| Well, you see a lot of videos out there about conventional video games, but not so many on calc games. So far, this is is what I had in mind and it's the only one I've seen. |

| Yeah, how come there's no Angry Calculator Game Nerd? There's plenty of material out there to complain about. For that matter, there's plenty to praise as well, necessitating a Happy Calculator Game Nerd. If only there was some brave soul out there willing to take this on... |

| its probably because if they advertised calculator games, more people would have them on their calculators during school and work and stuff. |

| There may be no angry calculator game nerds, but I think there are plenty of teachers who would have you believe there are, and TI is caving in to them. |

| Maybe. It probably wouldn't hurt to cover some actual math applications too, seeing as that what these are known for. It could be like Attack of the Show or The Screensavers was like before G4TV lost their minds. |
