I've had this happen to me twice: I'm sitting in the cafeteria, alone, eating something and drinking Pepsi, when I hear a little squeaky noise from my left and slightly below me. I instantly look in that direction, expecting to see an inco...
Well, I was gonna put my 2,000th post on this topic like I did with my 1,000th, but I got carried away on the RSI forum, so.... 2,001st post!!! WOO HOOOOOO!!! There. And again, I guess I should post some sort of update, so... I guess I mig...
Ooh! Can I add those to my Pwned Gallery on the MxO Archive? =D
Personally, I'm most excited about this: Dying on a bench/chair no longer breaks the bench/chair. As someone who is slightly OCD and has started every single mission while sitting on a bench ever since I started in Beta, this makes my day....

What a great way to turn MxO's notoriety as a buggy game around and make it into a story element Sorry I missed it, though. Darn afternoon web design class....
In preparation for a massive Matrix film marathon that I hope to put on for some friends of mine this weekend, I've been spending the last couple weeks polishing up my old Enter the Matrix movie that I made last year. Sadly, the whole thin...
Does anybody have any really good screenshots of Downtown that they'd be willing to let me use for an art project? I need to make a postcard for an art class I'm taking, and I figured what better location to use as the backdrop than the Ma...
I'm sure everyone has heard of the child sex abuse sting operations that news agencies all across the country have been doing lately, most notably Dateline NBC's "To Catch a Predator" shows. I first heard about them from a friend who showe...
I posted it in the Matrix Online group on Facebook a few weeks ago, though it's also been on the MxO Archive for a while ever since I got the picture from PhathomZtryker.
Confining it to Federation affiliation only is a huge mistake. Games need conflict and in-character drama to stay interesting. Just imagine what MxO would be like if everyone played Zion.... If they ever did add other sides to the Star Tre...
This game already won the award last year for Most Annoying Use of Ad Placement from some game rating web site. This only makes things worse. Seriously, are they trying to make us not play this game?

First off, try clicking the Minus icon to zoom out and see if you still have problems. I always click that by habit just to get a better perspective of the surrounding area. Secondly, the data regarding which hardlines you have tagged is s...
I have just completed and printed off what will likely be the largest academic project of my entire life. Details and an apology for being so uninvolved with MxO in recent months will follow once it is turned in and I have recovered at lea...
What kind of screenshot problems has it been giving you?
Well, I decided that since Anome has become one of the more dramatic characters in MxO, his portrait on the MxO Archive should be made a bit spiffier than what I originally had: So I made this a week or two ago from one of the Live Event p...
Don't ask how I got to this page, it has to do with my excessively ADD-ish tendencies while wasting time doing research on the Internet, but anyway, I came across this talk page on WikiPedia and noticed one of the users' names is "Pewpewla...

Yeah, a lot of games take textures and flip them so that they are symmetrical, just so they don't have to draw so much new material. It usually results in a sort of Rorschach-ish type image, and Rorschach ink blots always look like either...
It's probably at least at the level of bio-computers or quantum computers, which are both next on the list for where computers might go next after transistors. Whereas current computers process data by using electricity to keep small switc...
I took in interest in philosophy for my first two college years. After taking a course tought by a guy who didn't use his doctorate for about 25 years after he obtained it and who frequently said he "didn't understand this" or "would have...
How's this, everyone? It doesn't specifically mention The Tetragrammaton so it can't be considered a discussion of specific CS incidents. Here's the code for it, if anyone wants to use it: <a href="http://help.station.sony.com/cgi-bin/soe....

Well, after having no luck with the half-dozen places I applied to for work this summer, I remembered seeing a link to a site that offers the chance to earn money playing video games: http://www.gametesterguide.com/?hop=snowcone It's $34.9...
It really wasn't the players who designated Mara as "the" hangout place, it was more the devs. Apparently, they used to hang out there in early Beta, and it was also the place that they used to show off the game for the first time at E3 a...
Well, in case anyone's wondered why I haven't been in game since Monday, there's a reason: I just installed Morrowind. Famous last words, I'm sure. The game itself wouldn't normally be enough to keep me away from MxO... however, it happens...
I found these while going through my old MxO LiveJournal links now that I've gotten The MxO Archive back up and running with a new URL. I took them with my brother's digital camera at the beach one weekend and then went to work on them wit...
The site is back up at www.mxoarchive.net , so the maps can be found here: http://www.mxoarchive.net/maps.html
...and I've finally bought a replacement URL: http://www.mxoarchive.net The downtime was, if I recall correctly, because of the merge between Radio Mega City and MxO Resource, which wiped out my hosted files with Symmetric. After reuploadi...
Looks great!... except you need to switch the "t" and "u" at the end of "Oneironauts" :smileytongue: I know at some point HTML was allowed, since my sig links to The MxO Archive (when it's up... :smileyindifferent: ), but I've recently tri...
Johnson also bleeds when Trinity perforates him with her micro-UZIs as they're plummeting from the rerouting facility window. It's kinda hard to see, but some of her bullets actually hit him and pass through, leaving small clouds of blood...
Actually, if you want to get technical, that would be an abbreviated initialism :smileywink:
Just a couple minor corrections... CCR = Customer Care Report GM = Game Master (from other MMOs, really, but still could be cause for confusion)
Linky My brother showed this to me on Monday. I'm sure someone here will at least giggle once while watching this.
She was probably role-playing. My "apartment" is near the Midian Park West hardline. I actually finally saw it as a mission area just a few months ago for the first time.
From what I hear, levelling up Hyper-Jump stops increasing your distance at 25 if you have Hyper-Jump Beta loaded, and it stops at 35 if you don't. Translation: level your Hyper-Jump up to 35 and you'll jump as high and far as someone with...
Fix'd.
I think it's meant to be symbolic of what happens to Neo at that point: he's overloaded and can't overpower the Machines anymore, so the code from that Machine overwhelms him and knocks him out a bit.
Well, "George" isn't exactly what I would expect the leader of a tough Asian gang to be named. I'll get that updated soon, partially since I want to see the name change for myself. Right now, though, I have to go study philosophy.
The only information they were trying to get from Morpheus was how to access the Zion Mainframe, which would've allowed the Machines to directly access all of Zion's systems and effectively wipe them out with no resistance.
I've wondered the same things before, but I figured out fairly well what works and what doesn't when making my EtM movie. I took that storyline and put its elements in my timeline on The MxO Archive. For example, I include Niobe getting ca...
The standard RP term for differentiating between them is "instance." So if someone is on Vector, one would say "They're on the Vector instance." My own RP theory for why the three instances exist is that there are three copies of the Matri...
The original screenplay had an extra line or two where the Agents were getting all confused about where the attack was. The bomb in the elevator was meant to be a distraction to throw them off. Aside from that, I'd say they were just wingi...

Oh God am I glad I didn't take AP US. I took AP Euro :smileyhappy: At my High School, one of the last AP US tests was actually called the "Hell Test" because it was so ridiculously tough. I only heard about it from friends who were brave e...
It was. I've disowned it and do not consider a single fragment of its story be canon in any way, shape, or form. Especially the Merovingian's Chateau. Yeah, like Neo's gonna spend half an hour running around an M.C. Escher house come to li...
I already coined that on the GameFAQs message board for The Matrix a few months ago. My old term was "smithify" but I like "smithimilate" better :smileyhappy:
Sparks: - Niobe called him and said "Get me outta here, Sparks, I've got Agents right behind me." He probably didn't recognize Smith, and he probably knew they weren't normal Agents, but he could probably recognize that the Smiths had the...
No, no, no. This theory falls apart very quickly if you listen to the Architect's speech: the Machines cannot create a perfect simulation; people will always wake up. If life in the simulation is forced upon them, they wake up even faster,...
My interpretation of Matriculated is that the crew was showing the Machines all of the things that define humanity and distinguish us from the Machines: humor, sexuality, fear, beauty, etc. Once the place gets trashed, he also finally unde...
digitize wrote: Where do you get 'industrial hallway"? It's what they call it in the screenplay. Same with "Control Room" for where the Architect is.
It wasn't the Twins who stole the key, it was Cain and Abel. And they were able to get into the Industrial Hallway beforehand. They had to, in order to steal it. Apparently, The Merovingian later destroyed the key and sprinkled its fragmen...
It's a hallmark of this game that it'll always take a little longer than people can endure for things to get around to them. It's been that way since Beta, and people always bite their tongue as soon as things pick up again. So the best th...
Excellent work, Zion! (( So nice to have summaries like this for those of us on different servers :smileyhappy: )) *runs off to update the MxO Archive timeline*
