Xanadu?

[YDV offline]

Woah. I think I may have discovered why Lyoko was called Xanadu in Garage Kids. o__O;

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Xanadu

Isn't that oddly fitting?

[TB3]

Bravo YD!

Yes, very fitting - especially when we consider that in this Project Xanadu, computers would be interconnected in both directions, as XANADU in Garage Kids and Reality were shown to be.

Remember that damage in XANADU shook the factory?

Really cool find!

Cool.

that is extremely awesome..and it all makes sense.

In a house rented by Gregory, they hashed out their ideas for Xanadu; but at the end of the summer the group went their separate ways.

For some reason...that sentence made me think of that group photo in Waldo Schaeffer's files. *conspiratorial voice* 'Tis the Hermitage, I say...

[Rail Runner offline]

I completely agree...total hermitage alert...thats the only explanation that is logical...at least in my mind.

I've stumbled across this before, but stupid me was too lazy to read it. >>; But I did. And what do I have to say?

BENA MARTEL.

Just wow. And I read the bottom thing about the interwebs and Xanadu, and I would DEFINITELY choose Xanadu over the interwebs any day >>; But... ya. It's the interwebs and the interwebs hath taken over Dx

And I saw the date 1974... :O

Ya. Just freaky.

Whoa, now that is ironic.

In line with YDV's discovery - I learned a while ago that 'Kadic' is apparently a homage to American Sci-fi writer Phillip. K. Dick. K-dick = Kadic!

The interesting thing though is one of Dicks most famous books:

'A Scanner Darkly'

Written in 1977, the book deals with a imaginary vision of 1994, where one man struggles with definitions of reality - sound familiar?

Please also note these quotes:

"These were comrades I had; there are no better. They remain in my mind and the enemy will never be forgiven...Let them all play again and let them all be happy." - am I the only one who's hearing "RTTP" screaming in my mind!?

Or

"People who were punished entirely too much for what they did" - Franz anyone?

Hehe - hope these amuse you.

Yes, it was. In the animated over live action actors style. (You have to see it to understand. They film the real actors, then animate everything for this really surreal look.)

[Xanadu 2.0, the nickname of Bill Gates' futuristic private estate

So, the real XANADU is the internet sort of. But only 40 years ago. I'm confused. So, in garage kids together. If XANADU was the "fake" internet, then Jeremie can download stuff into it. I'm confused.

Yup - it's called Rotoscoping and is sort of the predecessor to Motion Capture - Disney used it for their early films like Snow White.

That is a really cool find! ^-^

Uh, check this out...

it's an article on the goddess named Xana. Do you think it would have any relation to our favorite demonic artifical intellegence?

[YDV offline]

I'VE SEEN THAT TOO! :O~ I think it definitely does. Cuz XANA is sototallyagirl. Um. The spirit of Xana got angry cuz some n00b AI stole her name, so she took him over like "All j00r circuit are belong to me" and began her hateful wrath on humankind! 8D

[Jeremified offline]

"All j00r circuit are belong to me"

*sneeze*
Sorry, I'm allergic to puns. Especially awkward ones.

I've seen it too, but I don't think it's really that related.

[Ulrich98012 offline]

WHEW... XANA... A GODDESS???

AND I THOUGH THAT WAS A MALE!!!

I gotta read more wikipedia...

Ehh....? How does that make sense? From what I read, the Goddess XANA, was like a goddess of water, or loving water. Didn't you guys saying something about CL's XANA hating water or something along those lines?

[Ulrich98012 offline]

I dont get it either...

Im just surprised that XANA is a fe-male!

[Sithking Zero offline]

We don't know that XANA is a girl. We just know that it can be used as a female name. And again, we don't know if XANA hates water. I just suggested it because in the show "Megaman NT Warrior," digitized beings in the real world, due to their electrical nature, were weak against water.
