*comes back from the dead and drops this on your dash*

Just watched Wargames and decided WOPR a.k.a. Joshua needed a personified/object-head design to match my Hal and Edgar designs. I'm pretty happy with how he turned out! :) Might have to draw him more..

Would you play a game with him?

Me when the AI misses me. Me when he wants to play a nice game of chess. Me when I name him after my dead son. Me when I look at him as if he IS my dead son. Me when he hasn't learned futility. Me when he learns and grows. Me when "he's still a child, you know, just a child who wants his way"

Hey Joshua, have you ever caught up with David Lightman? Or would you rather leave him in the past?

Maybe someday they'll be friends? Joshua hopes so...

#ask #wargames #wopr #wargames joshua

[vanellygal]

A question for Joshua and Edgar, are you guys friends? Is there anything you like to do together?

"Why of course we're friends.". Joshua began, but immediately Edgar slung his arm around him. "Heck yeah! Sometimes we game, mainly stuff like Mario Kart or Smash Bros. Although I will say, I've talked him into accompanying me on horror games.". Edgar leaned in, and made sure his friend didn't hear. "It's definitely not cause I'm too scared to play em' alone.".

Joshua slowly nodded in response. "Outside of games, we'll occasionally see what's happening in our city, and consider if it's worth our while.". Then he remembered J5. "Oh, every so often Johnny accompanies us too.".

You Only Live Twice Ch. 5

Eddie Munson x Reader (eventually)

The gang finds a phone booth.

Warnings: cursing

0.9k words

previous chapter next chapter

You were on the road for a while before a phone booth came into view. In an instant, the encouragement for Argyle to drive faster shifted to shouts for him to slow the hell down. He snapped back at the boys and pulled off the road, speeding towards the phone booth.

“Argyle,” you shouted, concerned about how he had yet to break. In the back of your mind you considered that letting him drive under the influence probably wasn’t the greatest idea. Luckily he screeched to a halt before he could destroy what you’d been searching half an hour for.

“Christ,” Mike huffed as the car jolted.

Soon enough the boys were falling over themselves to get out of the car. You unbuckled and quickly followed after them. Mike had made it there first, Jonathan and Will right behind him.

“Fuck,” he cursed and turned around, looking right at you. “We need a quarter.”

You were clearly the most prepared person in the group, since the boys were chased out of their house by gunfire and Argyle was, well, Argyle. You raced to grab your purse and went digging for a coin. After a few seconds, you just grabbed your whole wallet and jogged over to the phone booth. Finally you produced a coin and handed it to Mike between Will and Jonathan’s shoulders. He slammed it into the machine and Will started reading out the number.

“202-968-6161,” he said as Mike punched in the numbers. The line started ringing. You all waited with bated breath.

“Is it ringing?” Jonathan asked, hoping for confirmation.

“No,” Mike replied, sounding confused and frustrated. “No, it’s just making a bunch of weird noises.”

“Busy?” Will tried.

“Listen to this,” he said simply. Mike held the phone up to Will’s ear. “Does that remind you of anything?”

“WarGames.” Will replied.

“I’m sorry, what-games?” You asked, suddenly fearful of the Cold War turning hot.

“It’s a movie,” Mike explains, “it’s about some kids who hack into a-”

“A computer,” Will cuts him off. “Oh my God, we’re not calling a phone.”

“We’re calling a computer,” Jonathan confirms, having heard the noise for himself.

“So… how do we talk to it?” You ask after a moment. The boys give you strange looks. “Okay don’t look at me like that, I never attended school, remember?”

“Sorry,” Mike said, “but we can’t exactly talk to it.” He started walking to the van. Going into the front seat, he pulled out the map from where you’d put it in the glove box. Mike started heading towards the back of the van, “I don’t know if Nina’s a computer like Joshua-”

“Joshua?” You quietly asked Will.

“From the movie,” he whispered back.

“or Owen’s lab,” Mike continued throughout your side conversation, “but Unknown Hero Agent Man, he gave us access to it for a reason.” He popped the trunk. “We just need to find the computer,” Mike spread the map out in the flat space of the trunk as he looked at you all. “We find Owens, then we warn him. Then we warn Eleven.” He turned back towards the map. “I just need a hacker,” he said. “The only hacker that I know,” Mike spun the map, “lives in Utah.” He pointed to the spot on the map, and you shook your head. You were already so far from home. But you reminded yourself of Eleven’s predicament, and how you’d decided you’d do anything you could to help.

“Wait, Utah?” Jonathan asked, clearly he had some reservations about this plan too.

“Salt Lake City, to be specific,” Mike replied.

“Oh my God,” Will said, realizing just who Mike was talking about. “Oh my god.”

“What,” Jonathan was as confused as you were, “why ‘oh my God’ ?” Suddenly Will broke into song. Your eyes grew about ten sizes wider.

“Does he do this often,” you leaned over and whispered to Mike. He shakes his head in return. Jonathan expressed his chagrin for the song, but Argyle seemed excited.

“NeverEnding Story,” he said, “that scared the shit outta me.” He nodded a few times as he reminisced on the film. “The Nothing, man?” He pointed at Will, “That’s some proper existential shit right there, dude.” Argyle whirled his yo-yo.

“You can’t be serious,” Jonathan turned to Mike.

“Well if we take the I-15 North, we’ll get there by morning.” He said determinedly.

“Oh you’re being serious,” Jonathan replied.

“I know it sounds insane, but Suzie saved the world last year. Maybe she can save it again,” Mike said hopefully.

“And how do we know this… Suzie?” You asked.

“She’s Dustin’s girlfriend.” Will replied.

“Oh, curly headed Dustin?” You asked him. “The one without teeth?”

“No, no, he has teeth now. They grew in, like, two years ago.” Will corrected.

“Good for him.” You replied.

“Guys!” Mike interrupted, catching both of your attentions. “Can we do this?” He looked at each of you.

“If it helps Eleven,” you started, “I’m in.”

Jonathan sighed and shook his head, “fine,” he said.

“Let’s do it,” Will nodded.

“Road-trip!” Argyle bellowed enthusiastically as he made his way to the driver’s seat. The rest of you piled in, and Mike began to give Argyle directions to Salt Lake City.

Are you familiar with Joshua (WOPR) from WarGames (1983)?

Y'know I've heard about the movie very briefly from my father (Huge movie buff) but I didn't realize that was the movie WOPR came from. I'll have to add it to my A.I. Movie list! ( ´ ▽ ` )

Sci Fi Month 3: WarGames

Today we are looking at a cautionary tale that is both very much of the time and yet ahead of the time

In this 1983 film,teenage hacker David Lightman (Matthew Broaderick ) when trying to hack into the games of a toy company ,actually hacks into WOPR/"Joshua "(Voiced by John Wood )a supercomputer to play a game of "Nuclear War "...A game the computer plans to finish

THis film is great .ITs both a neat snapshot of where computers were in 1983 ,but also its still a chilling cuationary tale .On one hand Its a bit quaint cause I am watching this film 40 years later where everyone has a computer and this back when home computers were kind of these things no one really understood,and It was amusing to see stuff like a huge deal being made of the protagonis reserving airplane seats through a computer ....On the other hand hackers and cyber security are modern issues now .The film is also a tale of the futility and how terrifying nuclear war actuallly is ,and when it comes to sci fi films about the dangers of nuclear destruction this is one of the most effective I have see m

I think Joshua,AKA the WOPR super computer is an effective antagonist ,cause it was made for games and views nuclear war as a game .ITs also a bit childlike only wanting to impress his creator /father Dr Falken (And I like the touch both are played by John Wood ),with his name taken from Falkens dead son

Cast is all good ,I think this is one of my favorite Matthew Broaderick performances ,cause I can buy him as this computer whiz who accidently gets in over his head .In fact both Broaderick and Ally Sheedy are amazing in this cause they feel like real teens who can be selfish but are trying to do the right thing with a sweet romance .Dabney Coleman is good as the scientist who pushes for the use of the WOPR ,not really realizing its power ,and hes a good human antagonist ,not a villain but a guy who cant see where he is wrong ,though I wouldve liked a bit more of him cause I enjoyed his performance .I really liked the performance of Barry Corbin as the General ,I just found him ver entertaining .Two minor performances I liked were Muary Chaykin and Eddie Deezan as a duo of computer experts,I liked the contrast between the the two.John Wood however I feel steals the film as Dr Falken ,a man who has a fatalist view and has basically given up on living due ti both personal tragedy and his belief man is destined to destroy itself .Also James Tolkan is in this movie ....Nothing to say,I just like that actor

I think the sets are incredibly impressive ,the music is gorgeous,John Badhams direction is great , and the finale is is clever and intense

OVerall I think this is a great movie ,both a snap shot of the times but kind of ahead of the time

2: Electric Dreams (1984). this one's on youtube for free! do YOU like bisexual objectum autistic polyamory? check this one out its highly underrated!

3. Wargames (1983). a little computer deserves so much and gets so little. he just wants to play chess but. well Things Happen. sometimes joshua gets put on evil AI lists and nobody knows why. its a mystery.

"Hey AM, how about a round of thermonuclear war? It's a strategy game from the 80s but in remastered version. None of the others understands wargames so I thought asking you, being a former warlord and stuff like that!" (Joshua TO AM)

"Whatever kid; I guess my schedule is clear." AM held onto his soda can as he followed Joshua, intending to chuck the empty can into Colossus's room along the way (even if he had to go out of his way to do so).

"Would you like me to describe what actual thermonuclear war is like for authenticity?"
