| Sentiment | Neutral |
| Assessment | Randy does not clearly praise or criticize Defender itself; his irritation is directed at the battery-drain incident and the failure to replace the batteries. |
Defender is the handheld video game Randy says he owned in 1983. In his anecdote, his uncle Norman played it while Randy was at school, drained the four C batteries, and did not replace them, leaving Randy to buy new batteries with his allowance.
Randy's anecdote
Randy presents Defender mainly as the object of a childhood complaint: he says the game was played all day, the batteries went dead, and neither his mother nor Norman replaced them. His frustration is aimed at that incident, not at the game itself.
