I was looking into the "end of the world" claims and came to the conclusion that today is not the world-ending stuff. I am under the impression that they will only be testing the beam circulation on the 10th. The actual particle collisions...

This caught my attention because I think I sent a PM to Rarebit a long, long time ago asking about the prospect of creating some self-sustaining content. At the time, I had been playing some sort of territory-control MMO and was really cau...

Reading these recent posts made me think of a question. Before I ask it, keep in mind that I'm not saying that things are one way or the other, I'm just speculating and offering these examples. How do we know that there aren't multiple end...
I'd like to wish Mr. Chadwick well in his future endeavors. He once quoted something I wrote in a Sentinel issue and that was very exciting and special to me. I'm not sure if he ever knew how much I appreciated it. I think, despite what pe...

I happen to be happy that the cinematics are gone. I feel that the cost of the cinematics outweighed the benefits. For one thing, the cinematics weren't absolutely essential to the progression of the story. At times, they did show us inter...

I've recently tried to start rereading Tad William's Otherland saga. A story about people trapped in a complex virtual reality simulation... it strikes near to my heart. I consider it a recommend to Matrix fans.
