The rumors are all true!  Jesusbot calms angry pills!  These two movies
demonstrate this amazing new hack of 0.99.7, which keeps pills calm while
you attack them.  Don't even bother asking about who made this hack, or
how you can get a copy -- the author was murdered in a gigantic explosion
shortly after making this astounding discovery, and the binaries have been
erased.  All that is left are these 2 movies.  I don't have the hack, nor
do I know where to get it.  Just shut up and watch the movie, OK?

In this first one, the tank labelled "Attack" is equipped with the calming
hack and decoying behind the walls.  Notice how in spite of the shooter's
hideous aim, the pill stayed nice and happy as it was gradually killed.
Just to prove the pill isn't defective, Attack plants the pill next to the
shooter and pisses it off... doh!

In the second movie, Attack is dec-ing again, notice how the pill again
never gets angry... until Attack moves out of range, suddenly the pill
remembers it should be angry as hell, and blasts the shooter to kingdom
come.
