    Watching Wargames at the Science on Screen even I'm hosting... "Is this a game or is it real?" / "What's the difference?" Watched this movie 50+ times growing up, no wonder I became who I am :Dpic.twitter.com/OgC3u0NiKb

        Based on that logic, you also could have turned out to be a revenge-seeking swordsman, a stay-at-home Dad, or a murderer (with the lead pipe). Just saying.

        So CONAN, MR. MOM, and CLUE were the other 80s movies Jane watched 50+ times?? :D

        Ah, no, not CONAN - PRINCESS BRIDE! Too many movies about vengeance seeking swordsmen!

        Yup, you got them all! :) There's actually a much longer list of movies that would qualify though.

        Yeah I could definitely also be a rolling Stones loving computer geek helping spies escape bad guys or an entry level mailroom clerk from Kansas or pretending to be a hotshot VP

        YESSSSSSSS. Meanwhile I will go win both a karate competition and dance-off to a kick-ass soundtrack. I think that explains how I ended up teaching cardio kickboxing in a dance studio.

        I'd be a tourist at a Dinosaur park who happens to know Unix (well Linux), a kid able to take on some theives whilst living alone during Xmas or a Lion 🦁 who runs away only to return because he falls in love, but has to fix a kingdom that his relative screwed up

        Interesting hero's journey motif. :) Although do you survive the first?

        Milestone of my youth, I used it many times in seminars on education & videogames around Europe... Youngsters here often haven't even heard about it!
