    So the guy who invented surrogates is the same guy who invented the iRobot robots? James Cromwell seems to do a great job of inventing robots that couldn't possibly kill anyone, but then do.

    I only managed to find 4 pieces, #5,7,8,9 but it revealed the last three symbols and I managed to guess the fourth. Very cool stuff. If anyone else should find the other pieces, it would be great to trade links.

    Man, A lot of people complain that geeks are portrayed in movies and TV as fat nerdy guys. That guy on Flynn Tokens is an embarrassing. Wonder if he lives in his mom's basement. That would make my life complete.

    I think I killed Flynn when I played Robotron 2084. I swear I didn't mean to, but it was either me or him. I didn't want to pump any more quarters into the machine, because mom only gave me $4 bucks and I had to save my money for a chocolate bar.

    I'm just going to say...


    I do not like these aliens at all.


    I absolutely would not want them on my planet - FUCK THAT!!!


    Maybe there will be some great reveal at the end of the movie to try to make me feel like a big jerk for thinking that way but I'm sure my feeling will not change.
