Procurator

I was hoping the CSRs would have the common sense to do a modest bit of digging before granting requests, but, having thought about it for a bit, I realised who I'm talking about. After all, why would Star Wars Galaxies players such as our...

That the PC version? Looks groovy. GUI's a bit big, though. Still, I'm sure it'll look fine at 1920x1200. >_> Ooh, I see what you did with your hair.

I can, like some, kind of understand the logistical reason for dropping the Cyph and EPN groups (though why the CSRs can't continue to provide factions with tags is beyond me - it's hardly a challenging task, is it?), but we need a storyli...

*The Agent looks around and spots Wright.* Agent: Oh, bollo-... Now that looks cool.

Dodgy textures? The PC version graphically inferior to the console versions? That's a technical impossibility! Unless it's actually a real bug that they messed up somehow, in which case there'll be a patch soon or maybe some player-made tw...

*Sighs.* This will be my last post on the subject. I didn't mean for the thread to get derailed like this, but it seems people do like to make a meal of what I say on occasion. I should be flattered they pay so much attention to it. TheSor...

H'mm. EPN getting its arse kicked in the Real, perhaps? If their fleet doesn't get destroyed by the Oligarchs, something's wrong.

1. Fallout 3 2. GTA IV 3. Mirror's Edge All for PC.

I'll go along with that, as long as I get to be Dr Breen.

Diddums, read carefully. I know you said PC games, but I'm talking exclusively about FPSRPGs and their ilk. We're not comparing console games to PC games, we're comparing console FPSRPGs to PC FPSRPGs. You can't justify the argument that B...

(( The conspicuously placed mainframe strikes again. ))

Well, he can't be too crazy. He's got two of the same monitor as me, so at least he has taste.

Let us see where this goes. The original BioShock was pretty good. Way, way overhyped though, and the last couple of levels I kinda skimmed my way through and sadly never felt compelled to go back and do properly. I may play it again while...

I'm sure the override override will work. Maybe you can only activate it once you've been affected by an Ac-/Decelerator?

As do I. Veil's as murderous as G&E, so her comment about them being 'dealt with as they deserved' is either a lie or misinterpreted. Yeah, she says Cypherites won't do anything to harm the System, but she says nothing about wantonly blowi...

Meh. H'mm, now, do I keep this for a rainy day or recycle it for a cool $i 1million? Edit: Aw hell, you're right. That was our last crit, wasn't it?

I never realised how many gang bosses wear Blockers Shades.

No it doesn't, I'm sure. Where did you hear that? Don't go by the release dates on Amazon and the like; they're as clueless as us. The music was composed for the game, yes, but the artist has it up on her MySpace page (in a slightly shorte...

Too many updates and new videos to mention, but I'll just say that if anyone else enjoyed the tune and song from the first two trailers, it's finally been found! It's by Lisa Miskovsky and, in what strikes me as being a bad move, is called...

Pyraci was gonna draw my hovercraft. *Cries.*

A fifth Saw? I didn't realise there was a fourth.

Nah, it's not like other console-followed-by-PC releases like Assassin's Creed , Mass Effect and GTA IV . They've been developing the PC version almost in parallel, and it's got delayed. Unless it's EA pulling a fast one with some spurious...

Release dates announced: http://kotaku.com/5051630/heres-whe...dge-will-be-out November the 11th (US)/14th (EU) for PS3 and 360 'Later in the winter' for PC. I am not amused. There was a rumour going around prior to this announcement sugge...

Who to kill: 1. Veil 2. Niobe 3. The Kid 4. Persephone I didn't include Wright because she is at least an interesting character. Evil, but not outright annoying.

Trouble in paradise, kids? (( Blast! A perfect opportunity to get rid of the second - no - third most annoying character of the Matrix franchise and you blew it! ))

I like the short stories idea, like the Animatrix. I don't think a serialised TV series would work. Of course, if they let me choose the actor to play the great Procurator, I might change my mind.

Nah. It's a matter of likelihood; the wording of the answer is very important. Have I killed you? No. Have I killed you? Not yet.

It's got to be her really, hasn't it? I reckon that's why this Intruder has hair while the first two don't: it's the most recognisable feature of the repulsive Wright. Unless it's deliberate misdirection, of course. That would be cheeky.

Yeah, that's totally Wright.

Uh, yeah. Have you any idea what those override codes can do?

I'd've been playing it on Wednesday too if my supplier had shipped early like they usually do. Blast them. Yeah, I've heard the first stages are pretty easy and quick. I'll play on hard and drag it out a bit. I'm in no hurry.

Something to do with the colour. One of the four lines is yellow in all four photos, although it alternates.

I'm surprised no one's mentioned this recently. After all the hype it's had over the past couple of years, it's finally out today! Who's got it? With any luck it will have popped through my mailbox sometime today. (I realise there's anothe...

Maybe she has a very large brain.

I'm hesitant to call Carlyne an Oligarch. When I overheard him talk to someone (I forget who; Gray maybe), he said he would report Halborn 'to the Oligarchs'. If he was one himself, he would have said 'the other Oligarchs'. He is clearly a...

(( I think that's the club lighting. His face is still blue, though that could just be a glitch. ))

Nobody? Nobody has these components or can suggest anything better/cheaper/more efficient?

Eh-heh. This could be interesting. Merv won't be able to keep the BIP out of Carlyne's hands. The BIP itself might, of course. I wonder whether Carlyne's acting on behalf of the Oligarchy or if he's gone rogue, as Halborn seemed to have.

I think anyone who doesn't listen to a very large number of scientists is a fool. That is all. I shall try to restrain myself on this issue. I went the cosmology route anyway, leaving particle physics in my last year.

Congratulations to my fellow Machinists for trying to crack the code, as it were, and making a path through security when that failed. I wonder if Ouroboros security will have learnt its lesson yet?

Clever stuff! Have to say, though, I don't much see the point in an LCD on the keyboard. I can just look at the monitor - which I'm doing anyway. The G11 sounds cool, though. Oh, the things I could do with those extra buttons. >_>
