    So, the movie will just be about five fifth grade girls getting in to a fight while each one is forcing the triangle around trying to get it so say that one of the Jonas Brothers is their soul mate? Is that going to be the conflict in the movie? #tronlegacy

    I will always remember the -awesome- custom made Ouija boards I saw at the SD ComicCon in '07. Apparently, they are made using a lazer cutter/engraver/pyrographer via vector art... the artist made Star Wars, Star Trek themed boards, ect.
    Anyone know who this is? Awesome work, never got a business card... #tronlegacy

    HA!
    from wiki:
    "It has also been suggested that the word was inspired by the name of the Moroccan city Oujda."

    I've been there!...I wasn't bored, but being alone in eastern Morocco is can be kinds scary...

    I'm betting this will be about a bunch of hot teens using the board and then they all start getting killed in creative ways... #tronlegacy

    Man that would have made for an exciting game.

    I'm glad they never did the D&D movie (which did suck) based on the rules. 3 hours to get to the first dice roll for character creation. The movie ends with "Oh boy, I got 11 for strength!" #tronlegacy

    One of my best friends is Catholic and she will not even consider touching a Ouija board. Apparently the Pope says they're evil or something. It's strange how legitimately frightened she was by the Ouija board in Paranormal Activity - that was the part I thought was really not believable. As a kid I always just fucked with the person who brought it...foretelling that they'd marry Jimmy Carter or telling them they would die tomorrow or something. #tronlegacy

    @enderwiggin13: As a Catholic and stout follower of Pope Sidious the first, I say that these boards are the single most hilarious bit of card board I've ever seen. I don't avoid them because they're evil, I avoid the people who believe anything about them. #tronlegacy

    These paintings of contemporary Moscow are stunning in their realism, but what do they have to do with the apocalypse or science fiction? O_o #metro2033

    @ParryLost: The game is based on the Russian science fiction novel "Metro 2033", a rather dystopian post-apocalyptic underground adventure in the depths of the Moscow metro. Don't know if the book will come out in English as well #metro2033

    There's a trailer for this on Xbox Live. It tells you next to nothing about the gameplay, but does a great job of setting up the mood. I'm looking forward to seeing more.

    Also, notice how it's post-apocalyptic but doesn't limit the pallet to brown and gray? That's all I want, some grace notes of color, some contrast. Usually when I mention this, the reply is something like, "It's the apocalypse! I guess you want it to be all rainbows and kittens?" (no offense temporal sword). Granted that's only concept art, and it's hard to tell how the actual game's going to look.
