*** There are actually ''several'' fairly heavy conversations happening as Alex plays, first with Alex and Otis, then Alex and Maggie. Alex is ''barely'' paying attention to the game, he's not even ''looking at the screen'' roughly a quarter of the time, and still gets farther than he ever has before (and it's implied, father than '''anyone''' on Earth ever has before).

** It didn't end [[spoiler: with Beta's death, either]]. When Alex returns, the neighbors express confusion as to who had been with them the whole time, citing astounding failure to fix things Alex regularly had to maintain for them. Somehow, it never occurred to ''most of the trailor park'' that there was something wrong with Alex the whole time Beta was in his place.

* In a FunnyBackgroundEvent, as Alex is annihlating the Ko-Dan fleet in the video game, going for the record, and the whole trailer park comes out to watch. The Command Ship looms into view on the screen, and everyone is in awe that he's reached the command ship and is preparing to attack. One little old lady in the crowd gasps "Ooh, Command Ship! What's a command ship?" Even funnier is an old man describing it as "Air Force One for the aliens."

--> '''Beta''' (''fails to realize what a horrible mistake he just made'') Should I talk dirty to you?

** Though the whole situation is also oddly [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments heartwarming]]. What with the entire community coming together to cheer Alex on.

** Even funnier is that for a good portion of the time before the trailer park shows up, Alex and Otis are conversing about his future. It's not until Centauri's voice pops up congratulating Alex on his progress that Otis glances and says, "You're gonna BUST THE RECORD!" Yes, Alex is so badass he was creaming a NintendoHard game while his attention was divided.
