You asked how I'd stop the dinosaur from making noise while I'm gaming? Watch this. The TV was blazing with pixel action, but that green plastic reptile was rattling its claws right against an empty metal tin, throwing off my entire high-score run. I paused the game, vaulted off the carpet, and tackled the noisy beast head-on. Snatching a thick rolled woolen winter sock from the laundry pile, I jammed it straight into its open plastic jaws like a giant silencer, then wrapped an old black charging cable around its tail to tether it to the heavy TV stand leg. Total quiet. I hit unpause and nailed the combo clean.
