DZ-Jay's Random Blog - Christmas Carol: A Short Story - Part XVI

[RSS Bot]

You know how in the Christmas Carol game the Bad Toy goes rogue and supersedes even the Snowman's reprogramming and attacks him? (Of course you know, because you is me -- the only reader of this blog. DOH!)

Well, I just found out why that happened. It turns out that the new model 3000 of the T.O.M.Bot, contrary to the earlier Toy-Of-Mischief 2000, is equipped with a new artificial intelligence chip to give him a little personality. The Snowman didn't figure this, so when he re-wired the toy robot, he messed with the A.I., and -- well, who knows what will ensue! (Actually, we know -- and by we I guess I mean me -- he will go rogue and attack the Snowman. I wish you paid attention. And by you I mean ... oh forget it!)

The other thing I learned is that the special A.I. chip is called the Robotronic Think-o-Matic Mark I, which I think is a deliciously silly, yet exceedingly cool, name.

T.O.M.Bot 3K ... Think-o-Matic Mark I ... I should really trademark these names. Heh! Heh! Once my book is published and it sells a bajillion copies, I can merchandise the characters as real toys. I mean, who doesn't want a programmable toy robot that can think for itself and does mischief for you? Did I mention it shoots laser bolts too?

Anyway, I just thought I'd share that part, which I found very cool. Hasta la vista!

See ya'!
