Ok, this thread is all about stuff that the matrix may have screwed up.(like they couldn't code chicken so chicken tastes like everything)
 
and like how do we know that playing video games too much gives you a headache(which i have built up an immunity to), or why red eye happens.etc.

Red-eye happens because the light of the flash reflects off of the inside of your retina, or something like that.

We know already the Machines screwed up the colors of the Matrix by making it too green and not having much blue at all. They also don't have many trees anywhere. Both are problems that they've since solved, as evidenced by Sati's sunrises and the grassy park where the Oracle met the Architect.

I'm not sure the Wachowskis meant to justify the color palletes with "it's the Machines' doing". In RL, the Matrix is greener and the Real is blue-er because they wanted to give both worlds a visual distinction. Although, I think the tints are just cinematic effect, not going into an actual logic for there existence. Otherwise, how would you explain the blue-ish tint the Real got?

Again, I assume the same goes for Sati's sunrise. It wasn't, for me, as much proof that the Matrix had changed, but rather just a cinematic effect, ie. the Matrix is still the same, but they wanted to give it a cleaner look, since for most, it was the end.

The devs could blame all the bugs in the game as glitches in the matrix. You can't make that excuse in other games.

The concept of taste is subjective. You see, although taste is probably given by the chemical components, as we all know, the taste itself isn't just that. For some people, chicken might have a good taste, but for others it might be awful. So you see conveying the correct sense of taste isn't as simple as one could think. Amnd that's assuming they're able to convey the objective taste.

aPeople say that CHicken tastes like everthing because what happens when you mix alot of different things you get something that tastes bad, but you can stand (Like some people who can get hurt and shrug it off). Chicken taste likes everything is an expression to say this doesnt taste right.

Ok...erm this isnt actually about what chicken tastes like(although apparently people can go on about it and it is fun to talk about) this is about what the machine may have screwed up.:smileyvery-happy:

Uhm....no. SMILEY That's Sati's gift to Neo. She did it to honor him and in hope of seeing him again soon.

Blue is a rare colour in the Matrix due to limited Machine understanding of human colour perception.
(as well as it being used as a visual device in the movies)
 
So many things  "taste like chicken" because that flavour is a basic salty-protein flavour (soy powder and salt tastes the same as do frogs legs and many types of reptile) as well as reptiles and chickens both evolving from dinosaurs.
 
cyclones and such could be memory corruption caused by power fluctuations in the pod-towers.
 
And it sounds like the bermuda triangle has a memory leak or at least a faulty linking table.
