I have a funny/cute ask for you.

Wednesday somehow managed to fall in love but refuses to compromise any other part of herself. Except one thing: she is the most competitive at the arcade, especially the claw game.

Wednesday Addams does not come in second place.

A Great idea, so here’s: A Game of Life and Death! (Not Really)

Summary: Wednesday likes the crane game, she really likes the crane game.

Wednesday Addams hates a lot of things, Human interaction, Color, Bright things, sometimes you. While you two were obviously dating, she still wasn’t as content with the hugs and kisses you sometimes delivered, still a bit afraid she’s going to bite back. But having a terrifyingly high IQ, you were able to deduce her bluffs which also intrigued her to a certain degree. It all eventually came to a head as a new arcade was opening in Jericho after a few, disasters which included the near death of all students.

Entering the Establishment, like a dark cloud Wednesday was at your side. You two analyzed the room to the machines and games.

“It’s a Nerds Wet dream, isn’t it?” You say with a smile, Wednesday could see how oddly content you were within this place. “I suppose I could understand the appeal for someone of your intellectual feats, yet I still find it abysmal.” She says you casually adjust your glasses a bit higher and motions for her to lead.

“Please, the pleasure is all mine to show you the amazement of video games.” You say and show her around, arranging the clsssic video games, Dig Dug, Contra, PAC MAN. She’s never even seen Pac-Man before. You stand there, rambling on about how Pac-Man revolutionized games and the importance of preserving old games for future generations, and as expected Wednesday just stares into your eyes, she wasn’t very interested in video games or any sort, but she saw the joy in your eyes and as much as she despises joy and such emotion. She couldn’t bear take it from you, but something did catch her eye.

“(Y/n), Mi Amor… what is that?” She asks, and toy Turn your head to see what she’s looking towards and it was a crane game, the crane itself was dressed up like a ravens claw, and the gifts were also very creepy to boot, of course she’d love it. She walks over to it and softly presses her palm again the cold glass, you walk up behind her, seeing both of your reflections.

“It’s a Crane Machine, you use the controls to maneuver the claw to grab the items, standard cash grab game.” You say, “Wanna play?” You say, and show off a large sack of quarters you’ve been saving up, Wednesday scoffs. “Id never subscribe myself Go such mindless drivel.” She says.

An Hour and a Half Later

Wednesdays eyes were glued to the Glass as her hands angrily moved the crane hand around, her jaw clenched as she has spent around 40 bucks worth of quarters. You leaned against the crane watching her obsession slowly burn away her sanity, but as if by the luck of god himself she got one, the crane reaches down and clenches a small black heart plush and lifts it up, Wednesdays watches intently as if drops it down the hatch and to her feet, she takes it, and clenches it hard.

“I.. I did it…” she says, you chuckle and pat her shoulder. Leaning over her shoulder, “Yeah, I’m proud of you Babe. Can I play now?” You ask, Wednesday side steps, as Victory has never tasted so bitterly good for her.

“Of course, I doubt you have the ability to seal the qualms of fate that I have in order to obtain—“ she rambles on, until you insert one quarter, and effortlessly win a plush black bear for her. You hand it to your girlfriend with the most bittersweet smile. She takes it, absolutely speechless.

“Eh? I guess you could say my love for you is Un-bear-able, Eh? Eh?” You say, she looks down at the bear for a few moments but what was probably eons for her, and for the first time in your relationship she looked at you with such terrifying hatred in her eyes. This is the first time you’ve seen her genuinely Mad. She, without much effort tears the bears head off.

“Wednesday?” You ask, your voice shaking a bit as she slowly steps closer and closer to you.

“How? How did you do it?” She says with such scorn in her voice, I’ll vitriolic poison.

“W-what Are you talking about?” You say, slowly backing away as she approaches.

“Your infectious little game, you easily won this bear while I fought tooth and nail inside the gates of hell for this! And you laugh at me?” If words could kill you’d be burned to ash.

“Babe it’s not what you think, I’m just lucky..” you say and end up at the wall of the room, Wednesdays eyes were so devoid of emotion it felt like staring into the void of evil. You were prepared to accept your death, until you felt her palm aggressively grab yours.

“Weds?” You say.

“We, Are going to play, until I get another one.”

“But.. i thought you hated the game.” You respond and she walks with you.

“I refuse to be your lackey, I don’t do Second Place.”

“There’s no leaderboard for a crane game… babe I’m sorry it just comes easy…” you say, but she ignores you, and unfortunately you spend the rest of the day in a Crane game of Life and death. Which you still easily win.

The Day finally ends with you carting around a load of items Wednesday had won, after almost draining your life savings. But for the almost murder that occurred, you didn’t particularly hate it, and you just loved the time you spent with her, as you carry it into the dorm, Enid berates her with Questions and Wednesday answers calmly, but you could see the slightest smile on her face, which made it all with it.

Maybe you’ll bring her back next time, but, avoid the cranes next time.

Name: Pooka

Debut: Dig Dug

Here it is! This is it! The greatest thing in the universe, real or fictional! It’s Pooka! Everyone stop what you’re doing! Take the day off from work or school or any other obligation! They’ll understand. Because you’re going to learn way more than you ever needed to know about a colorful bunch of bouncing pixels!

Pooka isn’t really an obscure enemy at all. It’s iconic. Basically the face of the Dig Dug franchise! Dare I say even one of the most well-known video game enemies of all time? I do dare. And I still think it deserves even MORE love!

Pookas are the most basic enemy in Dig Dug, and have no method of attack other than direct contact. Of course, as enemies, they exist to be destroyed... and this is where their fame comes in. These adorable creatures exist to be mercilessly pumped full of air until their bodies burst and they die. Wow!

Don’t worry, though. According to the Mappy animated series by the now-defunct ShiftyLook, Pookas are everywhere, with no natural predators. When you play the game, just think of it as population control, to help the species as a whole! Also, if you’re wondering why Dig Dug is shirtless here, it’s because he wanted to show of his toned abs, the result of a juice cleanse he did. He also drinks Crystal Pepsi in this episode. The Namco Arcade Expanded Universe is much more in-depth than you think, you know!

Namco is well aware that Pooka is wonderful and precious. One was an ally in Pac-Man World 1, the species appeared as enemies in Pac-Man World 2, and in Pac-Man World Rally, one is even playable, in this gigantic drill kart!

But what IS a Pooka? You know what time it is! It’s time to delve into the biology of a creature that doesn’t exist! Here we go!

As Pookas move around, the little tail thingy they have goes up and down, and in Dig Dug Arrangement, the first boss, a giant Pooka, allows us to see that in more detail. That’s not just a tail- it’s a wind-up key! Does this mean Pookas are at least somewhat mechanical? Wow! I guess that would explain why they have no natural predators. But who created them? And why? Why are they dangerous? And why do they lurk in underground tunnels? They have no means of digging!

Pooka’s most notable defense mechanism, which it shares with Fygar, is to turn into a ghost. What?! Don’t ask me! I didn’t make this game! I wish I could come up with something so outlandish for a biomechanical balloon to do. In ghost form, Pookas are still vulnerable to Dig Dug’s pump, but can phase through solid matter.

Finally, a few years ago, I went as Dig Dug for Halloween, and made a real Pooka to carry around! It was a balloon with cardboard legs and tail, and a pair of yellow lab goggles with drawn-in eyes. The goggles were for my Pooka costume the previous year! That did not work very well. I am not spherical.

Of course, a balloon wearing goggles is very front-heavy, so it was kind of awkward to hold. But still fun! If you love Pooka too, try making your own!
