1) Thank you TMNT for teaching me about cricket and crumpets.
2) Thank you for giving me a goto James Cagney and Rocky Balboa impression before I knew who either of those people were
3) One more thing. I deliver a message.

Shut it
@ThisDudeRufus: It was great. I saw it at an advance screening filled with 8 year olds. They gave out swag for answers to trivia and I was raising my hand like nobodies business but they only chose the punk kids.
@Covertghost: I decry twitter all the time, but the real interesting questions is where you draw the line. Is my inane chatter on twitter any different than my inane chatter here or on Facebook, or commenting on CNN? Is it all just gossip?
@VincentGrey: Which you posted on Kotaku.*
*Which I hypocritically posted on Kotaku.
Colbert had an interesting piece on this regarding a new piece of software that told twitter followers when you bought anything. Basically that all these tweets, posts, etc. are all our vain attempts to tell the vast, uncaring world that we exist and that our lives have some value. It strangely stuck with me.
@Chicken Pawks: Its all part of the "everything digital is free" mindset that permeates through arguments against copyright and for pirating games, movies, etc. He just took it to its natural conclusion.
But you're right that scared me too.
So science has developed a reverse Ludovico technique. I guess that is better than the alternative, what with Reavers and all.
Regardless it means I need to stock up on more tinfoil.
@trotskysghost: But fragging your commanding officer also becomes moral. As does quitting and streaking through Times Square. The military doesn't want robots it wants believers.
