Crikey. I knew there was a reason he looked back at the photos.

Not sure if it's the same problem, but I'd occasionally find that my accuracy and damage would suck in Interlock (or in free-fire for that matter) for no obvious reason. The NPCs - low level ones which should pretty much just die on comman...

Excellent! You managed to say exactly what I meant, minus the babbling and the ranting. Well done.

Looking good, Shadow! Very 'Web 2.0'. I trust you won't use too much AJAX, though, if you are at all - it tends to get overused and breaks normal browser behaviour on other sites.

No, it doesn't, but I'm rarely outright insulting someone, nor am I taking a holier-than-thou approach when I do so. All I see from your last few posts is 'I've worked a lot with binary numbers,' 'I know binary numbers,' 'I did computing i...

You missed my point, and your attitude isn't helping anyone.

H'mm, bosh must have different meanings. When I use it it means 'there!' or 'voi la!' or 'ta-da!'.

Skinner died at the Assassin's hand, didn't he? The Assassin was kinda special - he had killcodes and could undoubtedly have deleted any program he wanted. Permanently.

You remembered?

Also: I think people need to get a bit of perspective. This area could very well be for 'just' PvP and data mining, as much as we'd prefer for it to be grander. Why? Rarebit just made a brand new area! That hasn't been done since the start...

There seems to be some confusion about the Proxies/Archivists. There aren't seven around the Mega City for us to find - that'd require a rebundling of the districts. There is an undefined means to access the construct, but seven Proxies to...

Oh. My. Good. God. Man, that's too exciting for words. But what's this about the engagement protocols? What does it mean if they're enabled? Are we allowed to fight or aren't we? This either means it's nice and quiet, like a normal distric...

H'mm. Unless Rarebit's just making sure the new area is accessible through an Archivist (and doesn't want to mess with even the Dev-only versions of Richland in order to do so), I reckon he's seeing how he can set up an Archivist. In other...

Nooo! A potentially really interesting mission comes up on the same week I start an office job? I don't want to wait an extra four hours before I can do the mission!

'Technical issues', eh? You mean he's fallen asleep 'cos he was up way into the morning posting screenshots in this thread.

Vinia wrote: Firefox Opera auto refresh ftw

Waaait a minute. It can't be an archive. Why would Rare have added all those benches if it were an archive? We'd never get a chance to sit down if we're flagged! I can't believe they were added for purely aesthetic purposes; the sheer numb...

That's it. I'm never going to Chelsea again. The only problem is, of course, that this new area is going to be so popular that I won't get a moment's peace. Another thing you have to admit is that this is the most creative area we've seen...

Two BChamberlains?! Dev exploits! Either that or the new NPCs will look like Rarebit's test character. Man, that'd set some new records in egotism. Should I be excited 'cos it's Wednesday? I know the Image Retrieval will be awesome, but......

Still lurking, eh Travi? The Glitch Society - Dress to impress (or at least confuse)

When it comes to Vinia, at least, I think the pink hair would convey more than her choice of attire.

H'mm. That's nice... I guess. Don't forget Veritas Lucis, though. (( <_< >_> ))

Yeah, and no one deserved more to have a sock stuffed in their mouth. I wasn't even there and it annoyed me.

If you're flying from Europe, it hardly matters which coast of the US you fly to. The plane ticket is slightly more expensive, perhaps, but the cheaper hotels, food & festivities balance it out.

I'd go so far as to say that the whole area is now off-limits to the public/Bluepills. It looks like it's in a right state, some of it, and certainly not accessible - unless anyone's suggesting the water treatment workers are flown in by c...

New poll. They've changed the details - again - and made a completely new poll. Everyone vote again!

I think it's the same description as the others, yeah. I at least remember reading the 'lacking a physical surface' sentence.

Eh, I looked again and now I'm not sure who was in the shack. The guy in the chair was wearing a suit, and looked like either Jack or Jack's dad (though that could still mean it's Jacob - the last Missing Pieces episode showed Jack's dad o...

I need to look again, but I reckon the guy in the chair was Jacob and the guy who appeared at the window was Locke. We had a close up of his eye the first time we saw the cabin, so it'd make sense if they did it again. Locke having a chat...

He doesn't sound British in the cinematics. Maybe an expat? Cheers for the transcript!

Looking good so far! I preferred the name Mobil Ave, though. Still, I can see why you changed it.

I wish I did know. It could just be a temporary name, though. If it's a district rather than a construct, Bluepills might be confused by the odd name.

*Finally works out where the 'Datamine' thing came from.* Oooh...

I was disappointed with the new enemy. I was expecting it to look more like this:

Noooo! We're waiting for Rare to send you the image? We're doomed.

Shush. I grind my teeth all the time.
