    Id rather they got around to expanded support for devices for their digital comic book archive.

    X-Men (90s)! I'd set that ringtone to my boss, so the bad of him calling would be offset by the good of that theme song.

    @Mighty Bomb Jack: When I am old and Alzheimers ridden--barely able to remember my own name--my children will wonder come to visit me in a nursing home.

    "Hows he doing" they'll ask the nurses. "Hes fine." they'll respond. "But he keeps on humming this strange tune no one can identify."

    "We've asked him about it, but he never gives a clear answer. All he ever says is..."

    "...this ones for you Morph!"

    @OW-Holmes--Upset with Polling: The difference between us, my good man, is that I will make sure that this tune is unmistakable to my children's children's children.

    But,

    "...this one's for you, Morph!" indeed.

    Choosing Cyberdyne as your company name is either supremely awesome or very unfortunate.

    I think this is a really neat technology and extraordinary if this can be used to help people to walk again.

    But seriously, they really need to NOT call themselves Cyberdyne and the robot "Hal." It's freaking the crap out of me (was it intentional? Do they think this is somehow funny? Because I don't hear the nerds laughing.) and I imagine it will deter people from investing in them.

    This is not a dream... not a dream. We are using your brain's electrical system as a receiver. We are unable to transmit through conscious neural interference. You are receiving this broadcast as a dream. We are transmitting from the year one, nine, nine, nine. You are receiving this broadcast in order to alter the events you are seeing. Our technology has not developed a transmitter strong enough to reach your conscious state of awareness, but this is not a dream.

    They'd probably start with human sized ones first.

    You know, of all the things I'm looking forward to in the upcoming Ghostbusters game, using the Wiimote to control Egon's Ecto-Gauge probably tops the list. (And yes, I realize it sounds dirty.)

    Oh, and isn't the show "Danny Phantom" about Danny's ghost-hunting parents who use Ghostbusters-like tech? (Haven't watched it, but I understand that's the case.)

    @jeffedsell: If I remember correctly, then yeah, that's basically the case. And if Fairly Odd-Parents is included, then I don't see why Danny Phantom (which I actually quite enjoyed) shouldn't be included, except for maybe the fact that it's mostly the same that Ghostbusters has. Also that it wasn't on the air for very long. They even had the same creator.
