Procurator

Exactly. That's what I do, although I'm usually content to let it keep firing after I've put through one of my special attacks. Having said that, mind, a special attack will often break my free-fire, and I need to stop then start it again....

True, but that's no excuse to make it worse.

I'm not against the idea of spawns for the other orgs from a gameplay perspective; I mean, it's only fair. But it wouldn't make sense . As Remixermike said, Zion doesn't have the resources to do something like this. I don't reckon the Merv...

Oh, I get it. It's an excuse for Rare to not have to worry about the usual issues of level design and quality control.

I've decided I won't be going. After initially expressing keen interest in going after last year's Fan Faire, my faction have since pretty much bottled it (again), and as nice as it would be to meet other MxO players, the Glitch Society we...

(( Man, I wish I could have been there. Another just plain clever event for the Syntaxian Machinists. How did you know when the crew members died though? I haven't read all the chat, but I couldn't see any notification of death, just peopl...

I am forced to wonder why Rarebit has Vinia in his signature.

Heh. I'd rather not, ta. From the looks of things the academic community isn't too fond of that film. Then again, outright refusing to listen to the other side would make me look dogmatic in my own right. Meh, maybe I'll see if I can find...

I don't see dreams being anything more than our minds shifting things about a bit, organising our thoughts from the past few days and putting them in order. Not very efficiently either if we're forced to watch a lot of it. I can trace ever...

I couldn't make it. *Cries.* I didn't realise the 5th was a Thursday. I'm always in the pub on Thursdays.

(( What a terrible time for cinematics to end. Just as we had the awesome spectacle of the Zero-One fleet descending upon Stalingrad back in the day, here there's the potential to see a fleet of intruder ships (presumably typical of the te...

(( Trineo... sounds like a good name for a chocolate bar. ))

It's a good album. Not as good as Hold your Colour in my opinion as it doesn't suit my taste as well as their last. Too much like, say, Prodigy and not alternative enough. No Tarantula or Girl in the Fire. Still, good stuff! I might even m...

I'm bound to come across as a stuck-up prig here (more than usual, that is), but if you want advice, don't have an intro page. Honestly. They serve no purpose other than to delay someone's entrance into your site. If someone goes to a site...

By god, this has to happen. As for the e-mail thing, I think it only lets you add one item (two? Do you mean an item plus some money?) because you need to right-click an item in your inventory to add it. In the loading area the e-mail scre...

Uh, the time until this comes out is getting on my nerves. As is the unknown release date of They Hunger: Lost Souls . Give.

Ha-hah, Griffin is class. ' Nicer?! '

I'm in the old fashioned camp too. I'm not religious, so marriage has no such relevance for me, and I don't care about the legal status it gives people - it's all about devotion and commitment and is, at the very least, a meaningful social...

*Laughs.* The dudes sitting behind screens watching events unfold in a couple of cinematics. I can't remember which chapter numbers.

Welcome back.

Groovy! And excellent timing, too. I need to read that log.

Awesome sketch, thanks! You've even made the console look like the ones the Mystery Man/Men used in the cinematics. I hadn't thought of that.

Have we accepted it? Yes. What else can we do? It sucks more than anyone can say. It's a disgrace to the profession of Web development and SOE's Web Presence team are the most incompetent 'professionals' I've ever witnessed (not to mention...

Oi you, several new player operatives to mention referenced in the most recent missions, after the hovercraft battle.

Eh, sorry dude (a term I use gender neutrally, by the way ), I was a little busy. But please, only do this when you have time. I was thinking maybe you could sketch a scene where I'm standing in Stalingrad in the Real (before its destructi...

Not a bad episode, but nothing too noteworthy (well, okay, there was the Oceanic 6 stuff, but I don't really care about them). Just building up to the finale really. In two weeks' time. Good to see Alpert though! Can't wait to see what the...

I'll think of something and have some screenshots for you tonight. Can't right now 'cos I'm at work I'm afraid.

Heh-hey, that's gotta be Halborn! The cheeky beggar's back without his usual technology, so he's as vulnerable as the rest of us. He won't have much luck continuing his search in a normal RSI. Have at him, boys and girls.

That's not funny, man. It's too late for April Fools.

A free doodle, eh? Can't pass that up! Are you accepting the suggestions/requests here, or should I PM you? I need to think of something first, though...

You died eleven times? How many times did Lore die?

Good stuff, man.

3am on a workday? Woah-ho, no. I know it's the US, but I would've thought press events were held during working hours. Oh yeah, and 7pm Pacific is 7pm P D T. Rarebit got it right by just calling it 'Pacific'.

That thing Keamy's wearing must be a bomb. Reminds me of the Farscape episode 'We're So Screwed', only I don't see Keamy striding across tables any time soon. I've got no idea what Claire's up to, but I saw the Christian thing coming. I'd...

Hm-h'mm.

After last week's trailers and sneak peeks, I'm really looking forward to this one. But it'll have to wait till lunchtime. -_-

Can't say I'm happy about Cypherites getting preferential treatment, though it pleases me to think that they are as clueless about the deeper reason behind this as everyone else. All the same, this is absolutely priceless: I never knew tho...

Die?

Heh, no point. These things have been mentioned a dozen times already. They say they'll, uh, take it into consideration...

Remember those Zion captains? They didn't recognise restrictions or listen to warnings either, and look what happened to them. Anyway, shouldn't you be busy rebuilding old Zion for some asinine purpose or something?

Word up for Sennheiser! *Strokes the pair of CX500s sitting on his desk.* Seriously, I didn't realise an MP3 player could sound so good with different ear buds. The bass on these things is brilliant.

I can sort of see where they're coming from by not correlating multiple instances of the same friend. If you initiate a conversion to an in-game friend through their entry under one of your characters, that character will appear to be spea...

Oh, I use it for spying on the game without launching MxO itself. It's good for seeing how many people are in-game and is as close to the old out-of-game AOL chat as we're ever going to get. But for those functions, the launcher is way too...

That's something that could really do with changing, if you ask me. The limited team size almost ruins meetings in org areas and other suggestions like this. I'm not saying increase the team size (I don't know how that would affect other t...

Ah, I've been waiting for the next big update. Can't check it out till I'm home, though. I'm guessing the execution still sucks. I'd love to know what they've been working on all these months is nothing's improved very much.

Ehhhh, I still don't like the aspect of that theory that has humanity voluntarily creating and inhabiting the Matrix. Gives Cypherism too much credence (though thankfully the Cypherites didn't know why, and are still going about things the...

Oh, I highly doubt that the colony had any hand in setting up the Cycle, the War, Zion and so forth. The reason we've known so far for all those things is probably true: that the Architect's solution wasn't perfect and they needed some sor...

Yes, I know that, thank you. I call it hypothesised because no one trustworthy has confirmed its presence yet. All we have are scraps of information left carelessly by the likes of Carlyne. We can draw some pretty good ideas from them, but...

I'm... not so sure. I was definitely going before, but now I'm not so sure. It looks unlikely that anyone else from my faction will be going (seeing them was a big reason for me going), and I could put the immense cost of a trip to Vegas t...

Goodness, that's quite a compelling theory actually. Not half troubling, though: I don't like the idea that humanity just gave up trying to save their planet and opted for the Matrix solution. Stinks of some Cypherite dream to me. And a fa...
