Dragonram your sig kind of reminds me of some sort of digital espionage... Maybe it's because the colors are just a bit off of the MGS codec colors and it's static'd. I really like the hidden messages and the way it sort of blends together...

[9.1.5] Mach mission feedback thread: "Only Human"

Yeah, it's a bit murky there, and either suggests that the Real is some sort of Matrix (Matrix within a Matrix theory) or that this new Matrix has no plugs in some sort of effort to keep those who escape from returning.

[9.1.5] Mach mission feedback thread: "Only Human"

This isn't 1999.

'98 can be explained by that whole thing... From what I understood it was a matter of convincing everyone that the previous year was 1998, and the year before 1997 and so on and so forth, so that could sort of be played off. 2003, well, th...

Hovercraft Battle. Zion vs. Mervs

I'm quite interested in finding out what a "Reach the objective" based battle constitutes. Namely, where the objective will be on the map, and if it's the objective for both sides, or if one has to protect the "objective."
