This seems like the best time to bring this up.

Henry Grik is not real.

He is a composite creation, something formed within the bowels of the racketboy source code. He is the textual representation of all racketboy members' hopes and dreams. He has the power to transform retro gaming as we know it. To overthrow the modern day system and return us to the glory days. But we must believe in him. Together, we can truly bring Henry Grik to life. We can be the arms that he requires in order to grab new thing. Using our own minds, he will be able to enhance his knowledge. And maybe, one day, Henry Grik will be able to understand human love. . . for 1980s gaming machines.

Did you seriously confuse Robert Deniro with Al Pacino?

It was only a matter of time. They tried doing this a few years back (voice actress behind a CG of her dancing... kinda like that anime/game/idol thing... uh, Miku Toyota?) -- it looked good for its time, and it was fairly convincing in the "I failed a turing test" story of Barry. (Remember him?
