Killshot
A tongue-in-cheek sci-fi adventures about the interactive universe gone berserk. Mild-mannered scientist Gus Lloyd has a hobby that allows him to blow off steam: He designs video games, and bases his bad guys on people who bug him. But a freak accident occurs, unleashing the sublimely sinister Sebastion Jackal and his minions on the real world.

Jackal enlists the aid of "Evil Shirley," an Ice Queen who's patterned after Lauren's mother, to help plant a bomb on a cruise ship that Lauren's real mom and her fiancé are on.
The Boss

Meanwhile, Peter believes he's found a way to put the supervillain back into the game for good, but his actions may have cost Gus and Lauren their lives in the real world as well.

The Practical Joker
