'''Computer:''' How about a nice game of chess?
'''Charlie:''' Seriously? Wargames?
:''[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086567/ Wargames is a 1983 movie] starring Matthew Broderick and Ally Sheedy, about a young hacker called David who accidentally starts playing games with a defense computer and nearly causes a nuclear war. As with Charlie's computer as she tries to hack frankFrank's hard drive, David finds a list of games, starting with games like chess, checkers, backgammon, and poker and then progressing finally to Global Thermonuclear War. In the movies the creator is Stephen Falken who names the computer after his dead son Joshua.''
:''Charlie tries "Joshua" as the password on Frank's hard drive, and it responds with "Greetings Professor Falken". Just as she thinks she has broken the password, Frank's voice taunts her with "Nice try Zero Charisma." Zero Charisma is a Dungeons and Dragons reference. When all charisma points are lost it means that the character is withdrawn into a catatonic, helpless state. The term "Zero Charm" was also used in the tech-caper movie [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0105435/ 1992 movie 'Sneakers'].''
