Plot
Arthur is addicted to a new computer game, Deep Dark Sea, playing even when he shouldn't. He excitedly gets to a new area and saves the game to show Buster tomorrow. The next day, they start playing the game, but start fighting over the keyboard, and the computer screen goes black. They desperately ask Brain for help, but even he can't find the problem. Soon, Mom comes home, and when she needs to use the computer for work, they find out the computer had just gone into sleep mode. Arthur apologizes for disobeying, and his mom grounds him from playing computer games for a week. As D.W. and Arthur go to bed, their mother begins to play the game.
