I think it has something to do with Halloween. I doubt it would have made it through had it been an electrified parsnip or burning yam. I'd also be surprised if it makes it through again come next 4th of July. I know some folks are pretty hardcore around here, and that if they built a damned pumpkin, it would be built to last and do a helluva lot more than imitate an outdated video game. No, it would make SkyRim look like Atari, and would beam lasers to the space station and hover mid-air, during boot. I'd probably be lynched and hanged with wireless if I admitted to thinking it was neat. So I'll pretend I'm disappointed too.
