Talk:117: Pong

The issue date of the comic is definitely wrong, as the file doesn't have a create date. Can anyone fix? Rikthoff (talk) 14:03, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

Think I fixed it. I looked at the xkcd archive for the date. --DanB (talk) 15:41, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

Is the ball really dropping? It looked to me like the ball just started going down and will bounce off the side and go up, like it does in pong, only without any sideways momentum to move it back to the other player. Mulan15262 (talk) 17:02, 16 June 2016 (UTC)

So you're telling us you've never seen The Matrix. -Kazvorpal (talk) 03:19, 20 September 2019 (UTC)

Yes it is. Please watch The Matrix. Beanie (talk) 14:33, 9 December 2020 (UTC)

I've always thought the pong paddle just caused a stalemate for revenge. --me, hi (talk) 19:28, 25 March 2025 (UTC)

An editor just added a link to The Singularity, amongst a few other convoluted points... I just wish the coiners of that term had called it The Event Horizon, because that is what their analogy most closely resembles (the point at which it becomes an inexorable process). It's quite annoying for people to have just accepted the mistargetted/misnamed simile and think they're 'on trend' just because they use a (wrong) fancy word. 172.69.194.225 00:40, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
