Procurator

I was hoping the CSRs would have the common sense to do a modest bit of digging before granting requests, but, having thought about it for a bit, I realised who I'm talking about. After all, why would Star Wars Galaxies players such as our...

That the PC version? Looks groovy. GUI's a bit big, though. Still, I'm sure it'll look fine at 1920x1200. >_> Ooh, I see what you did with your hair.

I can, like some, kind of understand the logistical reason for dropping the Cyph and EPN groups (though why the CSRs can't continue to provide factions with tags is beyond me - it's hardly a challenging task, is it?), but we need a storyli...

*The Agent looks around and spots Wright.* Agent: Oh, bollo-... Now that looks cool.

Dodgy textures? The PC version graphically inferior to the console versions? That's a technical impossibility! Unless it's actually a real bug that they messed up somehow, in which case there'll be a patch soon or maybe some player-made tw...

*Sighs.* This will be my last post on the subject. I didn't mean for the thread to get derailed like this, but it seems people do like to make a meal of what I say on occasion. I should be flattered they pay so much attention to it. TheSor...

Yes, I know. It isn't in effect until November the 2nd.

I assume you meant 4pm P D T. Remembering that the US is still on DST (aside from some non-conformist regions) and Europe is back to normal. 4pm PDT 5pm MDT 6pm CDT 7pm EDT 11pm GMT 12am CET

H'mm. EPN getting its arse kicked in the Real, perhaps? If their fleet doesn't get destroyed by the Oligarchs, something's wrong.

And after entering the post screen, the back button doesn't work (in Opera at least). I need to select a page at least two steps back before it'll work. This wasn't the case before.

True, but if they were halfway decent programmers they wouldn't have introduced such bugs in the first place.

Yeah, they've added padding to the paragraphs in addition to the margins they had before. It's showing in the editor and the post, so everything's really spaced out. Awesome. They don't even know how to use CSS properly.

1. Fallout 3 2. GTA IV 3. Mirror's Edge All for PC.

I'll go along with that, as long as I get to be Dr Breen.

Diddums, read carefully. I know you said PC games, but I'm talking exclusively about FPSRPGs and their ilk. We're not comparing console games to PC games, we're comparing console FPSRPGs to PC FPSRPGs. You can't justify the argument that B...

Well, he can't be too crazy. He's got two of the same monitor as me, so at least he has taste.

Let us see where this goes. The original BioShock was pretty good. Way, way overhyped though, and the last couple of levels I kinda skimmed my way through and sadly never felt compelled to go back and do properly. I may play it again while...

I'm sure the override override will work. Maybe you can only activate it once you've been affected by an Ac-/Decelerator?

As do I. Veil's as murderous as G&E, so her comment about them being 'dealt with as they deserved' is either a lie or misinterpreted. Yeah, she says Cypherites won't do anything to harm the System, but she says nothing about wantonly blowi...

Meh. H'mm, now, do I keep this for a rainy day or recycle it for a cool $i 1million? Edit: Aw hell, you're right. That was our last crit, wasn't it?

(( Blast you. I was about to make a comment about her joining EPN. )) Woo-ee, now it's really trouble in paradise. This could be fun. But what does she look like? Anyway, I'm not sure what Persephone thought she could achieve if the codes...

I never realised how many gang bosses wear Blockers Shades.

I never followed baseball. And now, alas, I have decided to leave this thread for the vultures to pick over. Until we meet again, I guess.

I'd rather be a hypocrite than a murderer any day. And at least I can justify my position, 'pretentious' as it may seem. I've yet to see a Cypherite do the same.

Clearly you don't know your one language too well. I italicised 'and abhor' for the purpose of emphasis, not to denote a foreign origin. It's English.

That might have made sense if I didn't know and abhor you. The last bit's pretty important.

Oooh. Made up things that are wrong with Cypherites, eh? This should be good. Assuming you can remember back to what I've said in the past, do me the favour of compiling a list of claims I've made about the Cypherites that outright aren't...

Oh, I know you weren't being general, but neither was I. I don't consider it appropriate to imply close association between Illyria and the Cypherites, though I can't speak for the Collective as a whole. Or maybe I am wrong and there's som...

No it doesn't, I'm sure. Where did you hear that? Don't go by the release dates on Amazon and the like; they're as clueless as us. The music was composed for the game, yes, but the artist has it up on her MySpace page (in a slightly shorte...

Testing? What's 'testing'?

Heh, class.

Pyraci was gonna draw my hovercraft. *Cries.*

A fifth Saw? I didn't realise there was a fourth.

Trouble in paradise, kids? No, wait, already used that one this month.

Exactly. And say what you want about org abilities, but if they made it easier to obtain reputation points, we'd never see the org abilities implemented.

Nah, it's not like other console-followed-by-PC releases like Assassin's Creed , Mass Effect and GTA IV . They've been developing the PC version almost in parallel, and it's got delayed. Unless it's EA pulling a fast one with some spurious...

Release dates announced: http://kotaku.com/5051630/heres-whe...dge-will-be-out November the 11th (US)/14th (EU) for PS3 and 360 'Later in the winter' for PC. I am not amused. There was a rumour going around prior to this announcement sugge...

I like that. An issue I foresee in any attempt to make a TV series of the Matrix would be relating it to the movies. Not everyone who saw the movies follows the plot and the series religiously. It would have to appeal to a broader audience...

Who to kill: 1. Veil 2. Niobe 3. The Kid 4. Persephone I didn't include Wright because she is at least an interesting character. Evil, but not outright annoying.

Trouble in paradise, kids? (( Blast! A perfect opportunity to get rid of the second - no - third most annoying character of the Matrix franchise and you blew it! ))

I like the short stories idea, like the Animatrix. I don't think a serialised TV series would work. Of course, if they let me choose the actor to play the great Procurator, I might change my mind.

Very nice. Now I can write a plot wherein Procurator no longer has to wear his earpiece. Of course, finishing the story where he has to wear it first might help. >_>
