Oh, cool! I'm guessing they're previously NPC-only animations. Certainly /mood cold is probably from that gang member by the bridge in Mara, who huddles next to a flaming oil barrel.

I reckon it got scared away by this:

$100,000,000 each?! /shakefist

Brilliant! Wish I'd been there.

A fresh perspective? Where? I must have missed something.

'Word', as I believe the expression goes. I'm all for giving this odd little bunch a slap.

My sig came out fine. No newlines at all and it worked. *Shrugs.* Proof:

H'mm? Testing. I'm entering this line of text and nothing else.

Man, they're on a bad connexion - that message took ages to display. Someone with a connexion like that doesn't deserve the fragments I have.

Regular expressions and Excel yield: Recursion's Top 100 have 785,942 CQ. Syntax's Top 100 have 777,149 CQ. Vector's Top 100 have 948,948 CQ.

Hah! I demand a drop rate decrease . These things clog up my inventory all the flippin' time .

It worked fine for me using Opera earlier today. Just throwing that out there so Opera doesn't get a bad name.

Well, never fear. I won't be adopting a bright pink/purple/magenta colour scheme and take a sudden liking to sparkles.

Tchah! I have expressed interest prior to this. Why didn't you notice?! You should be paying attention to everything I say, blast it! Procurator wrote: I won't be going to Fan Faire, but those jeans do look particularly good. Might bring a...

Ah-hah! Thanks for the comparison Rare (thanks to Vinia too, but the IR image was a bit misleading, as has been said ). I guess that clinches it: I'm paying £20 for a touch of blue. As nice as the denim texture is on the Sleepwalker jeans,...

Yup. I noticed that a few days ago, but didn't mention it because I couldn't remember if it used to do that before. Looks like it hides anything even slightly HTML-like. One of the first things I learnt when doing Web development was to tu...

Hehey, nice. *Glances at what he just typed.* Uh. I want the old thumbs-up smiley back. Anyway, those jeans look somewhat... shiny. Are they shiny like the Ivora Slacks, or does it just seem that way from this angle 'cos of the faded look?

Oh, I've found the (a?) problem with the 'latest post' link not working: someone hardcoded the posts-per-page value to 10 when it creates that link. It still uses our preferences when it creates the page lists though, leading to pages appe...

Yeah, painting important objects in primary colours is 'Runner Vision', and can be turned off.

Oh god, it did it again when I posted that!

*Sighs loudly.* Another problem. When I posted in this thread , the redirect took me here: http://forums.station.sony.com/mxo/...mp;#36300481329 which not only put me on the wrong page (2 out of a supposed 2, when the post actually was the...

I think this sort of hands-free tech could be an improvement (once it's finished), but I'm not a fan of touch technology. As fancy as it is, it won't work with PC gaming as your arms, hands and fingers will obscure the screen half the time...

Actually, I don't think The Database would be a problem this time, as much as I'd love to post Capone's comic. It's open enough that regular SOE systems (account management, chat system, Station Launcher) can access character details. A pe...

Eh. Choices, choices... I won't be going to Fan Faire, but those jeans do look particularly good. Might bring a bit of colour back into Procurator's monotone (though I still think pretty cool ) outfit. I can afford them (I love the money a...

Anyone else looking forward to this? It's a first-person game coming out for PC, PS3 & Xbox360 where you race across the rooftops of a futuristic city parkour -style. I think it looks utterly brilliant, and will be a nice change from typic...

Ah. (( I'm not entirely sure the terms 'oligarchs' and 'oligarchy' are being used correctly. Certainly they're not interchangeable. If the intruders' group is called 'the Oligarchs', then that group is the ruling class of the Oligarchy - t...

*Laughs.* Sorry. Seriously though, I'd be interested to know if the drivel spewed forth from Nexus/Siren's primary facial orifice is meant just to rile us up or confuse us, or if he actually believes it. 'Cos if he really thinks like this,...

Eh. Looks a bit weird and too far from the original plot. The winged things must be a reference to 'the flesh of fallen angels' - if they're some sort of supernatural entity in the film I'm going to do something nasty to the people involve...

Whatever happens, do not delete/hide/remove this thread. If nothing else, it's comedy gold.

A commendable effort neverthelezz.

I'd rather Rarebit didn't post here because he'll probably say it is v7 (in the face of all logic), along with the fact that the Matrix is no larger than the Mega City and it's always 1999. Although half of that is the Wachowskis being daf...

Good to see so many people are on the same page here. Even if this thread ranks high on the fail scale, I see a positive outcome.

I always enjoyed the missions where we had to assassinate Caltech.

The launcher means nothing. For one thing, why would the hovercraft operating system's version number correspond to that of the Matrix? Secondly, until Neo had a chat with the Architect, no one in Zion knew there were previous versions of...

Groovy! Congratulations to you and Mrs Virrago. Dalanie, eh? I've never heard that name before.

Free. Just bear in mind that Valve have something of a zero-tolerance policy to cheating. I don't know if they're very good at detecting cheating, but if they do they'll ban your account and you won't be able to access any of your Steam ga...

(( The man is a legend. ))

If you like team-based FPS action and don't mind a hefty dose of comedy: yes.

Clearly we'll have to take your views more seriously in the future.

Congratulations again, Virrago. We'll see you soon.

More trivia for you. John Patrick Lowrie (Agent Gray, as I've said) voiced the Sniper in TF2... who you can see in the recently released Meet the Sniper video.
