FFS, make the TRON threads stop. Or, at the very least, can a MOD please make a TRON sub forum? General arcade discussion is filled with nothing but TRON bs. When is enough, enough?
 
Sorry to have to disagree with you on this one, but I personally don't want a TRON sub-forum. Mainly bc I don't really go into sub-forums much.
 
When the movie is released in a week, and people then argue their opinions on the movie for a few weeks, I think the Tron posts should mostly dissappear.

If there was a TRON sub forum, you would be there.
 
Lowden Swain would fuck the recognizers from TRON, no doubt.

You've got to realize, TRON is a huge cult movie to older computer programmers and arcade collectors. Disney making a sequel to that flick 28 years later is pretty big news to forums like this. I mean it would be like if George Lucas made a new Star Wars Trilog-oh wait, I mean if he decided to revive the Indiana Jones franchise after 20 year-oh shit. I hope this movie's good, cuz if not, after it debuts we'll see 5,000 threads telling everyone what a let-down it was. I'm looking forward to it and doubt I'll be disappointed. I loved Indy 4, and saw Star Wars Episode 1 three times at the theatre in the first 2 weeks it was out. Sue me.
 
Perhaps the oddest thing about Tron is that the world of Tron is now obsolete. Mainframe computing, while still in existence, is outdated technology.

I was hoping they would have turned Tron into a sex comedy, with Flynn's kid being transported to the new world of Tron -where everyone is stuck in a 1982 era arcade.
 
dont forget about ....

the dvd release of TRON in blu-ray coming march 2011....

then there's the release of TRON LEGACY in blu-ray after that.....

Tron-A-lot

Sure, why not.
Tron (ala Monty Python)



Scene: A cafe. One table is occupied by a group of Arcade addicts with tron helmets on. A man and his wife enter.

Man (vintagegamer): You sit here, dear.

Wife (Jow in drag): All right.

Man (to Waitress): Morning!

Waitress (Phet, in drag as a bit of a rat-bag): Morning!

Man: Well, what've you got?

Waitress: Well, there's egg and bacon; egg sausage and bacon; egg and Tron; egg bacon and Tron; egg bacon sausage and Tron; Tron bacon sausage and Tron; Tron egg Tron Tron bacon and Tron; Tron sausage Tron Tron bacon Tron tomato and Tron;

Arcade Addicts(starting to chant): Tron Tron Tron Tron ...

Waitress: ...Tron Tron Tron egg and Tron; Tron Tron Tron Tron Tron Tron baked beans Tron Tron Tron...

Arcade addicts (singing): Tron! Lovely Tron! Lovely Tron!

Waitress: ...or Lobster Thermidor au Crevette with a Mornay sauce served in a Provencale manner with shallots and aubergines garnished with truffle pate, brandy and with a fried egg on top and Tron.

Wife: Have you got anything without Tron?

Waitress: Well, there's Tron egg sausage and Tron, that's not got much spam in it.

Wife: I don't want ANY Tron!

Man: Why can't she have egg bacon Tron and sausage?

Wife: THAT'S got Tron in it!

Man: Hasn't got as much Tron in it as spam egg sausage and Tron, has it?

Arcade addicts: Tron Tron Tron (crescendo through next few lines)

Wife: Could you do the egg bacon Tron and sausage without the Tron then?

Waitress: Urgghh!

Wife: What do you mean 'Urgghh'? I don't like Tron!

Vikings: Lovely Tron! Wonderful Tron!

Waitress: Shut up!

Arcade addicts: Lovely Tron! Wonderful Tron!

Waitress: Shut up! (Arcade Addicts stop) Bloody Arcade Addicts! You can't have egg bacon Tron and sausage without the Tron.

Wife (shrieks): I don't like Tron!

Man: Sshh, dear, don't cause a fuss. I'll have your Tron. I love it. I'm having Tron Tron Tron Tron Tron Tron Tron beaked beans Tron Tron Tron and Tron!

Arcade addicts (singing): Tron Tron Tron Tron. Lovely Tron! Wonderful Tron!

Waitress: Shut up!! Baked beans are off.

Man: Well could I have her Tron instead of the baked beans then?

Waitress: You mean Tron Tron Tron Tron Tron Tron... (but it is too late and the Arcade addicts drown her words)

Arcade addicts (singing elaborately): Tron Tron Tron Tron. Lovely Tron! Wonderful Tron! Tron Tro-o-o-o-o-n Tron Tro-o-o-o-o-n Tron. Lovely Tron! Lovely Tron! Lovely Tron! Lovely Tron! Lovely Tron! Tron Tron Tron Tron!
 
You can never have too much Tron :D Wish I had my own cab (although I saw one locally for sale for $800...no pics though, so it could be beat to crap)
 
Well in case anyone is looking for a place to talk just TRON, there is a good fan site dedicated to just that:

http://tron-sector.com

Just hit up their forums, they even have a place just for TRON video games
