I would say a little of both, actually. One thing I see consistently with the Machines in the Matrix is their manipulation of humans to control other humans. It makes sense; why try to directly control people when you can make them control...

Ezekhiel (3zechiel on this server) comes from the prophet Ezekiel, whose name means "God strengthens" "or "empowered by God". He was also referred to as the "son of man" in his book. He was carried off and exiled the same way Daniel was, a...

I see what you did there. ^^ Very nice. I really like what you did with the character, and the backdrop is really cool. I figured out Depth of Field, by the way. I'll send you some notes on it when I get a chance.

Yeah it is. I was joking too. lame@ss

Must be nice. :/

Aww, *CENSORED*. I missed it. Happy belated, man.

O Rly?! I see how it is. No render for j00! :/ </3 Pyraci is on Recursion too, so you're stuck with meh either way. So I don't get accusations of spamming this thread without pictures:

Uh oh... you guys gotta deal with ChloeAnn now. My condolences. Dude, PS10N... That rig is epic! :O

The real Morpheus wanted peace. He just knew that the truce wasn't real peace. The truce wasn't and still isn't the real solution.

No he isn't. None of us are. We are all, whether we like it or understand it or not, responsible for our actions in one way or another. Actually, I think those that believe that the human race needs to live under the jurisdiction and contr...

Well, if I were a Machinist, I wouldn't get too comfortable with him interacting with the Machine either. Remember how fast he learns and how he's able to make decisions for himself unlike the Machine, which could prove to be volatile. I k...

Hah! Acting out? A tantrum? I think not. Any Machinist thinking that there isn't going to be resistance, especially after the Machine finished the job in the old city, would have to be blind or missing a few screws. As I have said in anoth...

Amen. The Machine and the Machinist don't always have the same agenda or see eye to eye. The reinsertion fiasco alone is proof of that.

Again, mankind won't work towards that as long as it's threatened by it. I'm not saying the Machine and it's lie has to cease to exist. I'm just saying we aren't going to be beaten into submission or accept being controlled. It's never bee...

I agree. Aggression (however logical it might seem) will only be met with more aggression. Zion isn't interested in negotiating, especially after that little offensive a week or so ago. The Machine in all it's infinite logic and reason sho...

Seriously, there is a market for stuff like this, especially work this inventive. Really awesome stuff, man. (Dammit! Marias beat me to an animated sig like that. I may need to match it at some point. )

I'm with you on this one, Manic. I'm really hopeful that this movie brings back the surprise in the first and second. I saw the first on DvD and loved it. The second one, I saw in the theater and cringed, especially at the pit of needles s...

I dunno though, with it being outside the canon story, it might be too much of a distraction to be that long.

Wow! Well-played with the pods, Rare. This is Mainframe. Skin textures, interface, some hair, and other postwork created in adobe photoshop.

Peace, man. I may have some ideas that might keep Chemuel distracted until you get back.

In order to find what is, look at what once was. Just keep in mind that things change.

Seriously, man. I pray everything gets better.

So the machine came back and finished the job, huh? Even more proof of how easy it would have been to annihilate all of us if we'd stayed put.

Peace.

No. Someone's just being childish. I could say a few things about the subject, but like I said, this isn't the place for it.

This is hardly the place to discuss my faction, and that sig belongs to Spha. She can use it as long as she wishes. Many people in this community are where they are today because of Abaddon. If anyone has an issue, they can see me about it...

That mean I'm weird too, old man? ( )

Correction: We don't need to convince the Machine of anything. It's not up to us alone to end this conflict.
