The G.A.M.E.

"It's been one year since the "Overachievers" series was released, so Jesse decided to host a reunion. All hell breaks loose following the party as aliens arrive on Earth leaving Jesse and Pat to take matters into their own hands. It all comes to a head as they realize they're caught up in something they're powerless to stop, just one big G.A.M.E."

Player 1" and Jesse said: "Hey, you're the one controlling all my command points, what do you expect me to do? Stupid Player 2."
