    Tron is racist

    There should be a black guy wearing a purple suit who drives a light low rider with spinners. Some fuzzy light dice and instead of a light trail, he leaves a trail of smoke.

    Glad I kept my old toys from 1982. I wonder if any of this toy line will be 3 3/4? Maybe the ones that go with the vehicles? Yeah I'm a nerd but FUCK YOU, you're looking at this article too.

    by amishplaya4

    There should be a calculator program played by an Asian guy who's suit is white with a black light belt and banzai tree made of light on his back. He wears light glasses and instead of discs he throws light stars. His light cycle is all beat to hell from all his accidents, and he only drives it 20mph

    by kevinwillis.net

    And an E-Ticket ride at Disney World (not Disneyland, as I only seem to get out there once every 15 years) and I'll be happy. The Toys, I care less about. Might get glowy headphones, though.I work at a place that requires an ID badge, and my lanyard is the Encom lanyard I got part was one of the Tron Legacy promotions. And it's the bomb.

    by theycallmemrtibbs

    Harry let Seth pay for dinner and entertained his war stories from the set of Pineapple Express about how he and Franco were getting high for "Real".

    Being the nice guy that he is, Harry didn't want to hurt Rogen's feelings. So when the conversation came up about the Green Hornet trailer, Harry reluctantly agreed to post it on aintitcoolnews.

    That is until Rogen left this morning and the first chance he got, throbbing anus and all, Harry destroyed the server that crap was sitting on.

    I didn't notice that. That's kind of cool. Though neither feature impresses me. The light trail isn't really a trail. It may look cool in the dark, though. Plus I've seen RC cars that go on the wall. They're pretty neat, but it's nothing new to the lightcycle. Now if they can somehow make it so that when you hit a wall it will climb it, that would be different.
