Animated Tron Spoof Coming to UPN

Gudlyf writes "Sci Fi Wire is reporting that executive producers of 'That 70's Show,' Marcy Carsey, Tom Werner and Caryn Mandabach, are doing a CGI-animated midseason replacement show for UPN called 'Game Over,' which is best described as a sitcom spoofing 'Tron.' The show centers on the Smashenburns, an ordinary suburban family who live in an alternate video-game universe inhabited by action heroes, monsters and cartoon characters. Patrick Warburton and Marisa Tomei will be voicing the husband Rip and wife Raquel respectively."

      Replace all whitespace with underscores. I use vim to do that:

      You may also need to put <br> tags at the end of each line.

    http://armagetron.sourceforge.net/screenshots.html While we are on the subject of Tron, you should check out ARMAGETRON.
    IMHO This is the very best 3d lightcycle game for the following reasons:

    *) The closer you get to a "Trail" of another bike the faster your lightcycle accelerates.
    *) Bike trials have no thickness so you can get arbitrarily close to a trial without hitting it.
    *) Splitscreen multiplayer (or lan)

    plus other reasons
    *) Computer AI bots are named after buggy computer applications!
    *) Linux Friendly/open source
    *) Interesting graphics
