Keep grinding,
I hope you level up! :)
http://www.somethingawful.com/news/unicode-emoji-meeting/

The thing about this article is it does something I like seeing in SA articles: makes me wonder which part of the article is a joke and which part is real.

Is there really an Emoji consortium? Is there really a minidisc Emoji? How many cat Emojis are there, really?

I don't think I want my guesses to be spoiled by reality!

I've decided that I am going to assume it's legitimate and ignore any evidence otherwise.

1) There really is a UNICODE consortium that choses our emojis

2) There are 11 cat emoji's

3) The Minidisc emoji is real

Every single thing in that article was real!!

Nah nah nah I can't hear you!!!!

Please don't ruin the sublime wonder of a comedy experience with "facts". I am guessing that these "facts" are just a further way to enhance the comedy experience.

yeah actually they will

It's extremely hard to scratch a minidisc. You'd practically have to be trying to scratch it

And they're rewriteable up to a million times! A fantastic physical long-term storage medium, far cheaper than DAT. You'd be an idiot not invest in them -- nowhere to go but up.

What shall we do with him? A permaban, perhaps? Probate him for a few years? Or...shall we employ a big red custom title? You, the goons of SA, shall decide his fate.

That movie was a special case. Someone stole their hard drives and they had to reanimate the whole thing.

Gentlemen, I have a proposal to make.

A) Holy poo poo is that really what happened? I had no idea. I only know about this movie from The Flop House podcast and the time I tried to watch it and had a brain aneurysm

B) Please...please write an "Oceans 11" style heist about stealing and or/deleting the Emoji Movie
