I'm jealous of Rarebit's eye for screenshots. From IMDB : The name of the company Neo works for is Metacortex. The roots of this word are meta-, which according to Webster's means "going beyond or higher, transcending," and -cortex, which...

Keep in mind that this involves Trinity as well. The Oracle told her that she would fall in love with the man who would be The One. This raises a few questions: Did Trinity believe The Oracle's prediction? If she didn't believe it, would s...

The mobile snowmen show their appreciation for The Furious Angels:

The "light pool" is the spotlight that hovers over your character at night so you can see where you are. Ever since the holiday patch my light pool has gone missing, as illustrated by the below screenshot. Is this happening to anyone else?

Keep your guard up, Ghost. I hope the Council does the same. We can't grant the Machines access to the Zion mainframe, no matter how "reasonable" they appear to be. The road to hell is... well, you know the rest.

The Oracle practicing Socratic Method? She's usually on the receiving end of the questions. Glad to know I don't have her completely figured out just yet.

In the most recent cinematic, we see the dichotomy of attitudes between Anome and Cabolco. The Unlimits have gained an immeasurable amount of power, and they are plotting to take over the matrix. On one end of the scale, Anome, due to his...

These delays are actually working out really well for me given my schedule lately. Thank you for breaking the world, Rarebit! Seriously, I appreciate it.

This. Is. AWESOME!!

Here .

I noticed you made no mention of this being the last SOE Block Party. Any chance of this happening again?

Now that is a reward!

Thanks to Sykin for his tips and input, and the rest of FA for their encouragement.

Bumping this in the hope that others will reply with their own interpretations. Hint hint.

A hardline is a phone that has been modified by a redpill. I think volume 1 of The Matrix Comics has a story that shows a couple operatives rewiring a phone line to act as a hardline, or something along those lines. From what I can tell, a...

Elevated roads, maybe? I don't think they can be called "freeways" because they have intersections, traffic signals, and sidewalks.

As much as I hated the twins, they're fun to draw.

Haven't sketched in years. And I'd forgotten how hard it is to actually write legibly on a Wacom. :\ Felt like keeping it comical.
