A press release hit my inbox this afternoon for a newJay and Silent Bobvideo game, which triggered a distant-and-faded memory of writing about aJay and Silent Bobgame once before. “Is this that?” I wondered. “Did that game already happen? Is it all the Mandela Effect and I never wrote about snootchie bootchies?”

I did!It’s a co-op beat-em-up calledChronic Blunt Punchthat stars Jay and Silent Bob. That’s not what this press release was about, though. This is a co-op beat-em-up that stars Jay and Silent bob, but it’s calledMall Brawl.
