    Playing videogames on hardmode!

    Mordecai and Rigby, the show's principal characters, are at their wits' end with their bothersome old television set. As their aggravation grows, the pair embarks on a seemingly easy mission: to finally get rid of the defective TV. This ordinary chore, however, takes an extremely strange turn when their ancient television comes to life, complete with a malevolent, sentient TV remote control. The action-packed adventure that follows is evocative of old video games and sci-fi flicks. Mordecai and Rigby's connection radiates throughout the novel, giving heart and comedy. This delivers in a memorable and entertaining installment, embodying the quintessential regular show experience that fans adore.

    • Quotes

      Mordecai: [gasps] Dude, the game's still on! Pause it, Dude, Pause it!

      Rigby: [pressed a button] It's paused

      Mordecai: Aw man, Come on, Come on! Rigby, you finish him off.

      Rigby: What?

      Mordecai: Dude, we figured out his weakness. I'll keep the TV on while you beat the hammer.

      Rigby: Alright, Let's do it!

      Mordecai: Ready, Go!

      [Mordecai drums on the TV to keep the picture on, Rigby tries to fight the Hammer, but he struggles doing so]

      Rigby: [grunting and freaking out] I can't do it!...

      [pauses the game again]

      Mordecai: Aw man! We were totally gonna beat it!

      Rigby: [sighs] I know. He's just too hard to beat alone.

      Mordecai: [sighs] Dude, we gotta find another TV...
