Made My Own WOPR Design Cuz He's Bbg

On August 18, 1983, WarGames debuted in the United Kingdom.

WarGames (1983)

We are introduced to computer-savvy techno-brat David as he works to game the system by changing his grades in the school district’s report card database.  This presupposes a world where teachers keep no written records of grades, or at the very least that data in a computer would be trusted over the word of a professional educator.  That’s pretty stupid, right?  Well, this movie does seem to think that cutting from an exterior shot of the Seattle waterfront to a high school clearly named ‘Snohomish High’ makes any sense at all.  Geographic hilarity aside, this sense of blind faith in computers encapsulates the very core of WarGames’ larger conflict—the race to stop WOPR from sparking nuclear war.  The computer system’s LED display ‘face’ may look sinister, but it’s just carrying out a program.  Is automation the answer in war—have we so dehumanized ourselves that we need to come up with something even more empathy-free in order to ensure our future destruction?  

THE RULES

SIP

Someone says ‘launch’ or ‘missile’.

WOPR appears onscreen.

David does something unethical on a computer.

A phone starts ringing.

Falken is mentioned.

BIG DRINK

Someone says ‘Global Thermonuclear War’.

A new nerd archetype appears onscreen.

Bo is a good boye.

The DEFCON rating changes or is mentioned.

Confidence is high.

Edgar and jotchua are like this to me (plus kissing)

Some kind of deranged sibling dynamic (not like they would ever meet)

"now read out his address, he lives at 123 main street"

*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?

What are your ideas for the wopr gijinka? :D

I've been too busy gaming recently to go past my first pass design for him, but honestly??? Easiest gijinka of my LIFE idk what I would even change about him! I suppose I'll go ahead and post him here teehee :3

The little note on the top right says "he has a hooked nose like his papa ^_^"

War planning can be exhausting. It's about time he got his much needed nap!
