Too expensive, for one. Too complicated for another. I mean, given this technology, you'd probably have to focus too hard on using your computer, thinking your mouse this way and that as well as whatever actions your guy in a game would ha...

Oh and uh, this thread and others don't have the page number links next to the thread title like they should.

Most of these are from the Wikipedia site. I wrote the Scanline one a good while ago before some of the new people popped up, so it may not be entirely up-to-date. I also wrote the Blue Dreamer one on there (but what's here is obviously ri...

I didn't know this was a current issue, but if it is, I see no problem with handling it in this manner.

I would fund my SWG account, then cancel it for this game.

I don't know if this is a recurring error, but it is impossible (at least for me) to respond to this thread (the "post reply" button doesn't show up).

O.O That looks amazing.

8.2.2 suffers from a similar problem, even in archive form. But this was mostly a bland mission. Interesting how the data was being stored, but otherwise bland. Oh, and nothing is in that room you can't access, by the way. My mission held...

(OMG I HAVE A POTTYMOUTH) crap. Is there really some sort of stop-all on "language" now? Really? What if I go to make a NR post and I write up a character who uses a little colorful language? What if we have a post where Niobe says a swear...

At 12 hours a day, you'd probably get 1.5-2 levels per day. Around that level, it's about 6 hours of straight, hard grind to a level.

In levelling my alt, I did Zion 8.2, 8.3, and 9.1 over and over ad nauseum. The first phases for each of these does not require you to enter combat at all. For 8.3, the first three phases do not require combat. 9.1 also ends with either th...

I could definitely use this function and I know that some few others could as well. It would be especially helpful for introducing player events and RP and could spark more interest than if some players automatically see the name of the ch...

If you're getting the message "Authenticating... Failure. (ERROR)" then you're having the same problem that I am at the moment. Which probably means that it's Server side.

You mean you don't remember the scene in Reloaded where Neo told the Architect "This RP sucks, I quit?" This thread shouldn't have been moved, it really should have been re moved.

Pretty good mission. The reactions of the security contact within Ourboros are pretty priceless if instead of leaving right away, you choose to beat up the security that come after you. Some things are appropriately wrapped up by Tyndall i...

I really liked this one, too. It gave me a reason to be interested in Ourboros and certainly thickened the plot. Can't wait to see what happens next.

Informative thread, would read again.

Okay you can see them when disguised as Anome during the halloween event. That's what you were hinting at, right? Because god help you if you were hinting that he's alive.

Well, aside from the Trea for the males, there's Anome's glasses, which we haven't seen since he died. As far as I recall they're pretty similar to Brenda's, too.

Recursion did get the numbers up, but unfortunately we were still a half hour too long in doing my Daimyo box.

It was nice to see Utley again. Not so nice that 2/4 mission phases were pretty much taken up by dealing with those Mr. T would undoubtedly label foo's. In summary, it was pretty much another hum-drum Zion mission where nothing new was gai...

300's not bad. That's about the price of a PS2 at launch. I'll have to thinka bout getting me one of these. Too bad I already got Rock Band for my PS2.

9 days 17 hours 32 minutes Including time spent farming, several live events, etc.

Oh, good. I can stop doing them, then.

Reno 911! Harold and Kumar go to White Castle just finished up.

How High. On Comedy Central.

Just no Sati's Playground. I guess everything else is on schedule. Wouldn't mind a beta key either, though

This was a lot better than the first one, and was pretty good in its own right. Of course, you needed the white shirt, and I thought the 5 seconds or so of staring at Mauser's *CENSORED* while he was running was entirely unnecessary. Also,...

D'oh. It's late.

"Citie s ," eh? It makes me wonder whether this is going to deal with Zion, New Zion, and the Machine City, or if we're going to get a further hint about the alleged Colony.

No. A program never ceases to function and the hardware simply goes the way of all flesh, all mineral, all chemical. If you believe that Machines go to heaven, you'd have to believe that breaking a Microsoft Office 2007 CD would send that...

You have no evidence that they cause any damage, longterm or shorterm. Your point is moot.

It's hard to even believe this is true. Great comedian who is gone, but will never be forgotten.

For the light surrounding the character and the darkness beyond that pool of light, you might want to have him cast a shadow, as well.

Yeah. I've seen "Virrago's Trash Can" too.

Seemed like a good mission to me. There was definitely a lot of suspense, and I'll be interested to find out what EPN finds out when they break the encryption on that wreckage they found. Of course, as far as I can recall, there's only bee...

Interesting that it was a "Signal" and not a "Simulacrum" as per the usual. I do like how things seem to be coming together. EDIT: No, it didn't speak to me, either. I figure that's intended. Oh, and Mauser's got a spiffy new duster.
