I'm not at all surprised the Intruder dared to talk to the Architect like that. He's extremely arrogant, can manipulate programs at will, and has some sort of power over the Machines in the Real. They can't touch him. I like the idea of hi...

The Intruder's code is a higher version than the Matrix's. I think any wierdness (i.e. him only appearing as a wireframe) is due to incompatible code. What I find decidedly cheeky is that the Architect can teleport wherever he wants. If th...

Huh, I just realised... Was that really Laurence Fishburne's voice? If it is, did they get him back for this, did they already have his voice clips ready for this from years back, or have they re-used something? If it's not him, they did a...

And I beat you to saying you beat me.

Bah, you beat me to it. Well now, the Architect makes another appearance at last! He obviously has a hand in the Intruder's creation, especially when you consider the Scanline crew seem to refer to the Intruder as a 'prodigy'. Cool to hear...

H'mm, hah, we didn't really get anywhere with this one. Veil and her little band's presence annoyed me as ever (I get the feeling she's just put in these criticals to appease the poor Cypherites who don't have their own missions), but at l...

If you want a spoiler, you'd do well to check out Drive:\<your MxO directory>\resource\cinematics\cin9_2.jpg.

Pfft, that's not Ikebukuro Bay, no way. None of the current boardwalks and docks look quite like that, and the only places I recognise that bridge texture from are the bridges from Richland to Westview, as has been mentioned. And they don'...

How utterly perplexing. And exciting!

Good stuff! It's nice to see that it won't just be the loud ones on DN1 who get profiled. Uh, not to imply Shinryu is 'loud'...

...Maybe. Anyway I, uh, think we may have got the date wrong. Expect changes.

Either way, be sure to do what LtCmdr_Tsusai said: make sure your character data saves (and ideally everyone in your faction who's in-game at the time). Only after that's happened should you try to reform the faction. The Glitch Society re...

The concept is simple, but the effort involved in doing it is immense. I was going to make a point last week, but I forgot what it was. Something about what Tick Tock said about the dates getting hazy as they progress further into the past...

*Wonders where Virrago's got to.* Come on, sunshine, holiday's over. Back to work.

*Raises an eyebrow.* MySpace, huh? *Walks away.* Nah, good luck with it. I shan't go anywhere near it, mind.

I don't know if you've even considered it, and I doubt this will go down too well, but if I were you I wouldn't merge this with anything else. That is, don't combine the new site with another typical community project (forum, radio station...

Oooh. I like where this is going.

Guh, I've got too many books on the go at once. Got a third of the way through The Night Watch before getting distracted by some PG Wodehouse. Should be reading some Discworld, but have just started Bulletproof Ajax . I need to spend a wee...

I second that opinion. Rarebit, you will enjoy those books or face the consequences.

Heh, I was wondering the same thing. Whenever I hear of a radio station in the US, it's always 'you're listening to [utterly bizarre abbreviation beginning with K]!' I never got it. Why not 'Radio Solent' or 'Ocean FM' or something? In thi...

H'mm. This smacks of theX to me. Just make sure you don't get too ambitious. Good luck with it!

I had Flare run a patch a while back that keeps my RSIs hair in perfect condition. Even during winter downfalls! Live the dream, kids, and get your respective posteriors down to Club Sphinx.

Eh... I don't think we should take either of those documents too seriously, now that I look at them. I'm not familiar with US passports, but surely one of the dates in second image (11th, 12th and 13th of September '01) has to be his birth...

I reasoned earlier why the Machines don't mess with the Bluepills' memories on a grand scale. Missions and events have shown that the Bluepills do remember some nasty things that have happened in the past, so clearly the Machines don't cha...

Simulacra. A good idea, and something to be considered if they ever were to let us select load-outs when we create the sims. Unlikely to ever happen, though. Also, I wasn't aware that three-chevron NPCs behave differently to two-chevron on...

I hate the fact that it's always 1999, and I think it's badly thought out writing that made it so. But I'm not going to just ignore what Rarebit and Paul have come up with. But here's a reason why the 1999 thing makes no sense: GamiSB wrot...

H'mm. I shall let the sparkles pass. Excellent work, Dark! How many commissions do you have lined up at the moment?

(( And now PotBS, apparently. PS: VL rocks. ))

That's brill! Very well done. I love the fact that the hardline's doors are closed too. One problem, though: I'm not leaning against my tree.

There's no shame in playing MxO on Christmas Day. If I get the new chair I'm after I have to test it somehow! MERRY CHRISTMAS to you all.

Of course it's a fake. Relocating games companies to India? 'Buying out' SOE? Come on . When do companies use the term 'buying out'?

Such as what? I noticed some dolt had put up fictional Snowman positions, but that's because that feature was free to contribute to and evidently wasn't monitored. Other than that, Resource has never let me down.

Meaning no offense to Shadow and anyone else responsible for MxO Resource, but I hate it when people let sites like these expire. For pity's sake, why?! So what if you don't have time to update it any more? It doesn't cost much to host thi...

As far as I'm concerned, Neo was able to jack in remotely because he had some extra technology in the back of his head, that was probably put there before he was extracted. It may have been given to all podborns and only he could use it, o...

Woohoo! It begins. Congratulations, Shinryu! A very worthy choice and an excellent representative of the Syntaxian Machinists. Thanks for this, Virrago. I can see this is going to be fun.

A few minutes ago I was on Syntax, and there were no NPCs anywhere. No gangs and no NPCs in missions. Other players were standing stock still, and their faction names couldn't be retrieved. It wasn't a normal case of being desync'd from th...

(( The phrase you're looking for is: 'could n't care less.' ))

Me. Well, I don't care what year it is, more the system that's employed. I only hate it being 1999 if it was 1999 last year as well. The concept is so horribly flawed that it cheapens the entire Matrix universe. It's as daft as pew-pew.

[Current date] = [End of the War] + [[Morpheus' guess] - [End of the War]]*[# of iterations] + [Some time for the first two failed versions] So let's say: 2100 + (2199-2100)*6 + 50 = about 2750 at the very least . Using very conservative e...

I really, really, really want it to not be 1999 all the time. That's the worst thought out concept ever. The Matrix only consisting of a city and mountain range was bad enough, but a constantly looping year? Hate, hate, hate... If the W Si...
