*Gasps.* Interesting to see so many people getting into 3D work these days.
Well, if I'd known I could have killed the final target without it affecting my reputation points, I'd've done it. Not only to finish the job properly, but to spite Gray. He annoys me with all this cloak and dagger nonsense. Tell us what's...
Really? Blast. I didn't dare ignore the objective to 'Not kill [Person]', as I thought it would fail the mission. And as I haven't failed a mission in some time, I couldn't remember if it affected my reputation or not. I don't wanna lose m...

Well, he did say something along the lines of: 'He must be some new Zion nubcake.'
Yeah, but why did she have an Elite Guard posted with her? I thought they were reserved for Merv operations. Here's the output from the first computer I managed to hack: The second was just a message from one operative to another, warning...
I've had a chance to hear it without my headphones on, so I can compare it to the original sound. I think it's an improvement! It's definitely more menacing now.
What... the... hell...? I killed the guard, but drew the line at completely disregarding an order. I want to know what on Earth that was all about. In other news, Roland is sensible! That's what I like to see: logical, considered orders to...
(( Chat logging should be enforced by law. Still, Freelancer said they used the chat log as well as screenshots, so it's all cool. ))
You what? Dude, if we kill either of them we'll be doing you a favour. Niobe's been a pain in the posterior since Day 1; that whole business with Unlimit was entirely her fault. And you know Colt's gonna do something (more) stupid and get...
Don't forget that we supposedly killed Wright in a mission. Of course, I don't believe she's dead, but...
If this involves doing something horrible and permanent to Colt or - I pray to the heavens - Niobe, I'll be very pleased.
It may be a recoloured version of the other Merv reward, but that just looks sexy.
Oh Effy. What will you do next?
If the Apothecary is one of the two rare masks (which I'm guessing it is 'cos I've only got one of those but countless of the others), and it drops from the zombies, I'd say the Trainman comes from the pumpkins. Probably along with the low...
I'll update my list as and when I find more masks. 2007 From zombies: Anome, Apothecary, Headless, Dr Extracia, Half Twin (upper half) From pumpkins: 2006 From zombies: Balthiel, Ethereal 1, Taskmaster, Warrior From pumpkins: 2005 From zom...
Yeah, someone messed up timezones again. (I'm beginning to think it's not Raijinn who writes these announcements, as they've been flipping between PST and PDT. No sane person would do that, so it must be two people: one sane the other not....

Procurator : Keep the rest of Zion in-check, Colt. You're not allowed in the Simulation, and trespass will be met with force. Colt : Yeah? Well watch me trespass right down this sidewalk. ... That man's gonna get a smack.
(( H'mm. Well, we're still right. ))
More Portal madness! An awesome fan song: http://www.zshare.net/audio/44078911746790/ Weebl & Bob: http://www.weebls-stuff.com/wab/cube/

No one (sensible) would classify our actions today as anything near what Cypherites do on a regular basis. Do not dare compare me to your kind again. And I'm sorry, Xenin, but Zion and EPN operatives have not been allowed in the Matrix sin...
We warned them they weren't allowed in the Matrix any more. I'm not much of a killer, but... lessons must be taught.
I strictly read fiction (and reference books for work, of course). Currently reading: The Night Watch by Sergey Lukyanenko. Intend to read: The entire Discworld series. Maybe some more Dune stuff too - I'm only up to Children of Dune . Fav...

I wouldn't use quantum theory to explain away things (a la magic), as it's not... that big a mystery these days. String theory maybe, but again, there are experts out there who could dismiss a lot of supposed explanations. I think it's bes...
It's the fact that the Machines haven't reverted to the old Cycle that proves they want to give humanity a chance, or at least the more sensible subset of humanity, viz. the Machinists.

An interesting fact: The model for the player character, Chell, is the same woman who provided the motion capture for MxO's female characters! http://www.alesiaglidewell.com

Just to clear it up for those who haven't grasped as much from the latest intelligence leak - sorry, report - we no longer have a Morpheus simulacrum.
And it's worth it! It's short, but Portal is absolutely awesome. I won't spoil it, but let's just say that the second half is nothing you could have expected. This is gonna sound odd until you see it for yourself, but the credits sequence...
Karl Jenkins - Cantus - Song Of The Spirit I'm sure I'm not the only one listening to (sort of) New Age.
That's pretty sexy. Using those technologies you could, say, photograph someone, then take them out of the picture by just deleting the background - 'cos the photo knows what the background is! No more faffing about with pixel selections t...
Mere hours remain! What's everyone gonna play first? I'm tempted by Portal. I know Episode 2's gonna be awesome, but it's more of the same, whereas Portal's something new. Pity I've got to go into town for a few hours, right as the games u...
Simulacra. I never use Patchers, 'cos they annoy me. But it really shouldn't be hard to make them only buff their own team, or at least their own org. I get the feeling a couple of lines of code that are present in other NPCs were just lef...
Dev updates. Thank you Master Bit! That all sounds groovy. Not sure about the black archive rewards, though. I know the areaK is popular, but if even more people start wearing black I'm not going to look even remotely unique. Rarebit wrote...

If you insist...
You are incorrect.
Okay... Agent Pace has completely flipped. And several people are going to be pretty happy with what that computer output.
Goodness. I didn't even realise they were making a fourth. Groovy!
Well done Cypherites. You failed again .

They wouldn't dare get rid of the good liaisons, surely?
Any time would be good to have new orgs - if it won't mean cutting back on things like critical missions. Which at this point (and until MxO closes, presumably) isn't the case.

Maybe they should just start again from scratch. You know, like hire a professional! *Seethes for a few seconds.* It seems to working again now. That is, back to its usual level of mediocrity.
Eh-heheheh. I've seen those MMO logos as well, every now and then. I hope they're not going to be a permanent feature at the top of the forums. Last thing we need is more stuff clogging it up.
I've honestly never seen it do this before, and I'm on the forums every day. Maybe the odd image missing. But right now I'm counting all bar three of the posting GUI images gone, the whole header bar including the MxO logo, the images at t...
