If you're like me, you watch reruns of The X-Files\ on cable. It's great if you like to wax nostalgic on the television of your youth, but it can also be sad. Once you've seen all the episodes, you are left with the depressing knowledge that you'll never get to see a new episode ever again.

Play alone or with a friend. Just don't get caught playing in lecture by your professor, or you'll get us both in trouble.
