I remember the flame wars over Ultima VI on the PC gaming board on Prodigy. Such a polarizing title. I also remember the jerk who spoiled the entire plot of Monkey Island 2 months before release. What an asshole.

Holy shit I am old.

Prodigy wasn't internet.  More like a big bbs.

Watched Bridge of Spies last night.  Very good flick.  The mood, the acting, the period feel, the details about the U2 program, the dialogue (loved the scene with the CIA agent in the bar).  Only thing that stops it from being a great flick is the drop in tension at the end, but I suppose that's a function of being a true story.

This movie is written for 12 year olds.  Hey, let's bond by setting up your Facebook profile together while eating pizza!

Oh, I know.
