You know, if he fried the Architect, then maybe we could get somewhere with some sort of peace negotiation.

Highway Star is pretty goddamn challenging on vocals, I've got to admit, especially the opening "Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" "Shallow" by Porcupine Tree was stuck in my head all today until I listened to it.

I'll be back in school by the time the Vegas one rolls around, and Orlando is closer to me. Sad, it doesn't really have a chance being that it's split between two dates.

Ah, that sucks. I didn't get into that room until after she'd already done her damage (well, when the NPCs are less than half her level, I'm sure she makes mincemeat out of them) and I figured that they were just plants. Sounds like it was...

I hate to break it to you, but most of us never wanted war to begin with. We're just quite unwilling to disarm in the middle of one, and, well, at least in my eyes, to disarm at all for fear of a strike of opportunity now. I've already sai...

The only new point I raised was the irony that our leadership is telling us to get involved and calm down the Intruder, whereas yours is telling us to get lost and get out of the Matrix, and yet you, the Machinists, are telling us to follo...

EPN were already outside the Truce. They were already being hunted down. Anything concerning them is not really viable as a contribution towards the degradation of the Truce. However, I would say that much of the past Cypherite action is a...

...So he's... placing programs around the Matrix? ...So what? Why should we care?

He's already been face to face with the Architect... I wonder what he expects to gain from something that's already failed him?

Good article! I always enjoy reading these, and it was nice to see Lyr give Recursion a little representation (and, y'know, this may have been the first time I've ever really seen her out of character, heh).

Well... I don't see the barge anywhere around there, though. Multiple new areas?

He kept Cypherites from stealing his ship and whatever information and access might have been on it, and even took a few out with him. That's a good job in my book - an honorable soldier's death. I don't know a thing about him killing any...

All of my respect and admiration go to Captain Cinquez and his crew. They were true soldiers of Zion willing to do what it took to protect our citizens, giving up even their own lives. But largely, this is nothing new. The Cypherites will...

My guess is that he knows much more than we do. It seems as if he truly understands the nature and cause of his powers - what makes them function as they do and such. Perhaps this suggests that he knows or understands some of the underlyin...

"Rescue Day" by Bruce Dickinson seems to be running through my mind over and over again. It's a b-side off of the Skunkworks album, which is really worth a listen.

Hmm. I don't know. I'd be hard-pressed to believe that the Accelerated Man is simply trying to gain Neo's powers. Entirely ignoring the fact that he already seems almost more powerful than Neo, he's said before that he came into the Matrix...

Wonder what'll happen between Roland and Lock - if Roland will remain commander or if good ol' Jason will be stepping back up. The Accelerated Man is losing my interest, to be frank. I think we've been paying a little too much attention to...

Pssh, you managed to cut me out of all of the shots with Shimada jumping down the building.

Eh, if you were to do it the old way, there wouldn't be anybody there, though. Nor would there be anything for you to really do there, other than take pretty screenshots. I'm guessing if they're implementing it, they're giving it a purpose...

Well, actually it looks like it will be classified as outdoor due to the ability to jump around there, and there seems to be some sort of elevated platform (the bridge?) that will be accessible, judging from the first picture. Oh, and I'd...

Supposin' the barge is a new area sort of like the white halls with the commandos for a new quest item?

They're actually introducing a pair of shoes with roller skate wheels in them so you can get around the Mega City quicker.

Hey congrats Othinn - seems like you really deserved it, and you had an interesting profile there.

Well then, I suppose I lose. Of course, this dickery still doesn't compare to my friend who just texted everybody on his phone for christmas with "The game merry xmas"

I didn't watch it myself, but I'd heard it was "not entirely *CENSORED*"

((So what happened with the Assassin Mask Effy mysteriously procured?))

If you haven't seen it, how do you know how we dress and bathe?

All I'm going to say is that I'll PvP and get my *CENSORED* handed to me, and I won't say a word, because I don't feel it's necessary. It's a fight - you win or lose, there is no in-between state. And as long as everyone is playing by the...

Yeah, it's a bit murky there, and either suggests that the Real is some sort of Matrix (Matrix within a Matrix theory) or that this new Matrix has no plugs in some sort of effort to keep those who escape from returning.

Congratulations Shinryu! Seemed like a good interview on both sides. I'll have to look forward to the next installment.
