Nah. It's a matter of likelihood; the wording of the answer is very important. Have I killed you? No. Have I killed you? Not yet.

I dunno, I can't see where this is going. It depends on Wright's relationship with the Oligarchy. If she's in league with them, then we're utterly doomed. Even the Machines will fall before a determined collective of override-wielding enem...

Oh, I am so vindicated. I always said she wasn't dead! Hah! Still, that's little comfort. She's got her grubby hands on override technology, so, you know... we're all doomed.

Oh, I'm not saying anything about the tree; I don't use most of its abilities. Just the Master Shadow ability itself. It gets a lot of undeserved stick.

Leave Master Shadow alone. A person using Master Shadow can't do anything but observe, and it's nice to be able to do that sometimes. Heck, it's even fragile as hell - it breaks when you so much as open a door. As for standing at the sidel...

They would be if Halborn wanted them to be. The power of the Oligarchy's override technology is not in question.

It's got to be her really, hasn't it? I reckon that's why this Intruder has hair while the first two don't: it's the most recognisable feature of the repulsive Wright. Unless it's deliberate misdirection, of course. That would be cheeky.

Yeah, that's totally Wright.

Uh, yeah. Have you any idea what those override codes can do?

I'd've been playing it on Wednesday too if my supplier had shipped early like they usually do. Blast them. Yeah, I've heard the first stages are pretty easy and quick. I'll play on hard and drag it out a bit. I'm in no hurry.

Something to do with the colour. One of the four lines is yellow in all four photos, although it alternates.

I'm surprised no one's mentioned this recently. After all the hype it's had over the past couple of years, it's finally out today! Who's got it? With any luck it will have popped through my mailbox sometime today. (I realise there's anothe...

Maybe she has a very large brain.

Orthogonality, my one true foe.

Ah. He could have been lying, of course, but what he said about the BIP remaining safe where it was tells me that maybe he doesn't want it himself. Maybe he's only retrieving it on behalf of the Oligarchy because the Merovingian nabbed it.

I'm hesitant to call Carlyne an Oligarch. When I overheard him talk to someone (I forget who; Gray maybe), he said he would report Halborn 'to the Oligarchs'. If he was one himself, he would have said 'the other Oligarchs'. He is clearly a...

(( I think that's the club lighting. His face is still blue, though that could just be a glitch. ))

Nobody? Nobody has these components or can suggest anything better/cheaper/more efficient?

Eh-heh. This could be interesting. Merv won't be able to keep the BIP out of Carlyne's hands. The BIP itself might, of course. I wonder whether Carlyne's acting on behalf of the Oligarchy or if he's gone rogue, as Halborn seemed to have.

I think anyone who doesn't listen to a very large number of scientists is a fool. That is all. I shall try to restrain myself on this issue. I went the cosmology route anyway, leaving particle physics in my last year.

Congratulations to my fellow Machinists for trying to crack the code, as it were, and making a path through security when that failed. I wonder if Ouroboros security will have learnt its lesson yet?

Clever stuff! Have to say, though, I don't much see the point in an LCD on the keyboard. I can just look at the monitor - which I'm doing anyway. The G11 sounds cool, though. Oh, the things I could do with those extra buttons. >_>

Then I would say you should see this game in action - there's enough footage around now. But you've already said you like neither EA nor DICE, so... Ah well, all I can say is I reckon you're missing out.

Nice work, man! The timing was very good, especially when Halborn stood there having taken out the Agents.

Come to think of it, I think Havocide might have been the only person posting photos during Fan Faire last year, or at least he posted the most. And as he's now elsewhere , the forums are distinctly Fan-Faire-photo-less.

Tchah! If there's a proxy capable of redirecting MxO and Xfire traffic and the like from a college network, I'm going to hurt whoever didn't suggest it to me when I was at university.

Yeah, I've noticed that blasted button getting in the way. Thankfully, most of the time my browser loads that last, so it doesn't matter. Nevertheless, I've blocked it from my browser, so it doesn't even try to load it.
