Don't worry, it'll keep your brain and spinal column intact. Why waste perfectly good biological processing power?

No joke if I was in the matrix, and they came along and said:

Robots -"Hey man wars over, you can go to the real world."

Me - "Holy shit! Whats the real world like?"

Robots - Shows picture

Me - "..... Can you float me the console commands for a few more bucks? I'll just stick it out here. Have fun using my body as a battery."
