They're all really thin. But Pong? Seriously? What?

They wanted a something challenging when it came time to... *ahem* ...bounce some ideas around.

You don’t want to learn the backstory of the dot?

The dot's backstory is a heartwarming myth perpetuated by Big Paddle

I know and there no story to any of them.
