T2: The Arcade Game isn’t based on the events of the movie, but rather the lore that led to the events of both movies. Instead of fighting a single robot in the present day.. well, of 1991, the game takes place during the assault on Skynet that led to the total human victory in their war against the machines. A raid that’s set to take place on July 11, 2029. Which is going to be, no joke, my 40th birthday and thus proving July 11 is indeed the coolest of days. Babe Ruth made his Major League debut on a July 11th. The Marines were established on July 11 (or rather re-established). The Hollywood Bowl opened on July 11. To Kill a Mockingbird was published on July 11. And this next year a Superman movie is coming out on my birthday in 2025. I thought THAT would be hard to top, but the total liberation of humanity from our machine overlords? Pretty damn sweet. I’d like to think John Connor rallied the troops by noting it was my birthday. (dead silence) “Um.. do it for Babe Ruth, who debuted for the Boston Red Sox on this day in 1914!”
