  3. The internet is full of claims that the _War Games_ computer named WOPR is a play on a real NORAD computer named BRGR. This claim may have originated with people involved in the film production.
    However, it's a deeper (or shallower?) joke than that, because there doesn't seem to be any evidence that BRGR existed.

    Only thing left to do now: Design and 3d-print a stand for it to have a good viewing and operating angle when sitting at the desk. #3DPrinting Anyone any idea or already made a stand for a steep angle? 😳
    (I wonder whether Global Thermonuclear War from #WarGames runs on the PDP-8, too. 😂) #WOPR

  8. I've been testing sarcasm on ChatGPT. It's going really well so far. It might be about to take over the world.

  11. Hmm, do these guys know something we don't know, or are the folks in Colorado fans of War Games? #WOPR #WouldYouLikeToPlayAGame #AI

  12. LOVING that the #RoyalInstitution #ChristmasLectures have a mockup of #WOPR called #BrodeRick
