I don't know what I was on when I claimed that
I played Titan The Arena as a kid! I must have been thinking of

The title of Boing Boing's new podcast is
Get Illuminated, not Everything's Illuminated (which is the
title of a movie
starring Elijah Wood).
I'm sure there are some goofs in there somewhere.
Let us know if (when?) you find one!
