I have absolutely no idea why I keep a subscription. I guess like Shi, it's mostly because $15 a month really isn't that much for me. What's happened with MxO has honestly left a bad taste in my mouth concerning the whole Matrix franchise....

I would definitely go with building it yourself. For that price, you can get a better processor, more memory, an ATI 4870x2, a better sound card, and Vista Ultimate. EDIT: Or, if you don't want to build it, you can go to Newegg and look fo...

TSR???

The connections between the Matrix and the game Shadowrun are pretty obvious. I mean, the game revolves around people hacking into a network called the "Matrix". But, the fact that it's called "The Shadow Run" and not "The Shadowrun" made...

I think I'll follow this. I, for one, hope it has nothing to do with the storyline that Rarebit laid out for us. I hope it starts where we left off and goes in a different, better direction. At least someone's doing something to keep us al...

TSR was the company that made D&D, before it was bought out by Wizards of the Coast.
