So I was reading the latest issue of Wired when I stumbled upon an article on the making of WarGames that absolutely fawns all over the movie. Since this is the 25th anniversary of the release of the film this year it seems as if geeks are coming out of the woodwork praising the film for introducing the world to computers, the various precursers to the Internet, and hacking.

So yes, lets hear it for the film responsible for that series of tubes that sends you daily reminders on how you can claim billions of dollars that are just sitting around with nothing to do in Nigeria.

And closed circuit to my girlfriend Anna, who was just a wee babe when the movie was released and thus has never seen the film, be prepared to get your geek on for the next week as I force you to watch Tron and The Last Starfighter in a stunning display of 4-bit special effects glory.

Nerd up!
