Dan's Useless Trivia #1
WORDS BY: Dan Amrich
There's two kinds of information in the world: Stuff that's useful, and stuff that I know. For years I've been a sponge for totally useless information about video games, so that's what I'm going to share here -- choice mental chunks that you'll hopefully find at least partially amusing. I already know you'll find them completely useless.
So, to kick things off, an oldie but a goodie: What's the name of the first program that gets derezzed in the 1982 movie TRON?
I'll give you a hint: It's not him.
Look for the answer next post.

Am I allowed to guess?
Wasn't it Jeff Bridge's character Flynn's search program "Clu?"
The recognizers smashed him after he crashed his tank. That counts as derezzed, right?

I too am a connoisseur (is that too pretentious?) of the useless trivia. I like to be able to impress (not sure if I impress or annoy is the right word here) my friends by bringing up random facts about videogames that so that they might share in my geekiness. Keep up the good work Dan I love to here interesting new factoids.
