Entertainment: Untelevision  Dilbert. Dogbert. Ring any bells? If not, where the hell have you been? I recommend you check out the
The Dilbert Zone. If
you were a latecomer to Dilbert, then you probably don't remember how funny the comic strip used to be. In the old days (the pre-Newsweek cover days), Dilbert used to be a comic strip
beyond the workplace. Sure, there were days devoted to the evil dealings of the devil boss and Wally's ineptitude, but there were also hilarious episodes where Dilbert and Dogbert would talk
about Q-Tips, world domination, and life in general. I'm hoping that Dilbert will lose its popularity soon so Scott Adams could go back to doing really funny stuff. But of course, being the shrewd dude he is,
he's going after money (who wouldn't?). Good going, Mr. Adams -- you is a genius!          
I'm not much of a video game freak. In fact, ever since I got rid of my Commodore 64, I've played
almost no video games. Then came Virtua Fighter 2. No karate game comes close. There aren't fireballs to throw, hooks to launch, or moves that require six buttons to be pressed at the same time.
All you have are three buttons: Guard, Punch, and Kick. That's all. There are a slew of "special moves," but they're about timing more than remembering sequences of buttons to press. It's also the
most strategic karate game I've seen. Since the Sega Saturn is more or less dead, you may be able to pick up a Saturn unit and VF2 for about $50. It'll be well worth it.
