This Video Makes Me Sad...

This video is cruelty in my opinion. The wars of the future will be fueled by water, not oil. Check what these kids are able to do for a bottle of water. Imagine a nation. And by the way, yes, the solider threw the bottle at them. But noth...

MMOs from shows/movies. Smart or just money milking?

Franchise-based games has its advantages and its inconvenients. Taking a rich setting to base your story allows the developpers to focus more on development than creative writing. And fans of the license will be more curious to see what th...

Shadowrun Online anyone?

I'm watching this closely. They don't have the rights to the Shadowrun license, they are making this as a pitch for Microsoft who own the Shadowrun license (and in my opinion, have totally screwed with it with the FPS they are working on)....

Or the simple answer. Rarebit have written this mission weeks in advance, without knowing then that finally it's EPN that would free Brenda.

Know Your MxO Math, Syntax!

Nice thread. Harp's a math buff, so lets answer that with naive answers. Note : I reread myself and it's not funny at all. 1) Hostile + Tactics = null In combat, the tactical intensity is inversely proportional to the level of hostility. 2...

Serious Roleplaying Crews/Factions

I hate talking about roleplay, since roleplay is an essential part of me, and doing so makes me feel like an elitist egocentric or something like that. I am sure I can be considered as one of the most experienced hardcore rper around, but...

Teh Sex Of Syntax

I do this only for Caillech... Yes I'm level 22, Yes it was taken april 14 2005, Yes it's the same picture than my signature, Yes I'm wearing the uniform of my first faction, But this is still the most appropriate picture for Harpalos.

DE Improves Negative Percents

Based on what Staticzero said to me, Trayen was the most diplomatic in helping to solve the conflict with the players in Abaddon. In my name and in the name of my faction, thanks.

Technically yes. A programmer could build a code specially designed against redpills to execute a pattern of influx that would affect the brain in a certain manner. Modern science is already able to influence the brain on specific points,...

You don't have programs in your head. You just know how to use them. It's through your datajack that brain influx is translated to machine code and vice-versa. I strongly doubt that Matrix cybernetics introduced data storage units inside b...

Virus affecting your RSI?

The concept itself in my opinion is wrong. A RSI is an avatar. Like when you play a video game, your avatar is the character you play. In state-based games like rpgs, your character itself becomes better as it learns new abilities. But you...

Who would play you?

An older Hugo Lapointe. He's a singer from Quebec which problably would have trouble playing Harp since it's mostly a pop singer, and surely not much a mathematician-philosopher. But I'll pick him based only on the look.
