I won Blockbusters Donkey Kong tournament for the SNES when I was 6. Got a champions card that gave me one free video game rental every other week for a year. I won at two stores and my brother won in 3 stores in his age bracket. So we constantly had free new games to play. That was the best year ever.

Maybe fun fact: Dr. Disrepect's "Two Time Champion" claim is from these blockbuster tournaments.

Agreed. Especially since he built the engine from scratch if I remember correctly. I would think it'd be legal under fair use? But I've heard of so many fan games going under from cease and desists. Maybe they just don't want to pay the legal fees to fight it? Especially if they're not making a profit from it.

Teslas stock has always been a bit fucky. Their market cap (total value of all their shares) is greater than Toyota, Volkswagen, Daimler, Ford, and GM combined. It's crazy inflated imo.
