Not bad at all. It's a shame that there's so much black as opposed to the original outfits, but a similar swap worked well enough for the X-Men movies. Not sure I'm sold on Storm Shadow's look, but it might look better without the coat.

Very nice. I've always been a fan of Snake Eyes, and he looks great.

To me, karate is easily the best looking and it's nice to be ranked something different than 95% of all the other MA users out there, so it's what I use. The load out actually consists of almost all of karate, a good bit of fu, and just th...

(( Not anything unexpected content wise (go here, kill that, search that PC, meet that person, etc.) but some quite interesting story tidbits to move things along. Oh, and the operator complaining about the Cyphs is always welcome hehe ))

(( Ooh, interesting name. Based on that, it could be a good one. ))

Well, the gloves look nice from what I can tell with such a dark picture.

Great read, and sounds like another great guy.

I've gotta go with Montreal... always been a fan of them and it looks like they've got a team that may actually have a real shot this year. I like Ottawa too, but they've been on such a slide since, oh, about half way through the season. H...

This has been brought up before, and I've always supported the idea. Do your crits and you get rewarded for it. You then have two choices: 1.) Save up your own orgs completion tokens until you've gone through all 4 chapters and cash them i...

I wouldn't profess to be an ardent admirer of The Oracle, but at the same time I'm not happy to see this happen to her. She was playing a dangerous game.. she always has been, and it caught up to her this time.. though why give in now? And...

As Aqua noted in his post, the time issue really is important. Even if you're doing missions on hard, you can be sabotaging your per mission XP haul pretty badly by doing them too fast. It's possible with disguise/sneak, lock picking and P...

It's about time.. sheesh... Hehe *hugs*

Once again, a bit of an odd time... not sure if I'll be able to make it or not, but I suppose I can always just dust off one of my non Syntax characters just to experience things should I be able to make it for a non Syntax day.

If you work with the Machines, you don't get attacked if you've hacked the nodes... if you work for Zion, however, you will get attacked even if you do have the nodes hacked. The only difference is you'll be attacked by lower level Agents...

*chuckles* Well, thanks for clearing that up.

Wow, that thing is pretty cool.

An interesting turn to say the least... if nothing else, it will be enjoyable to see how the Masked take this news. In any case, this does somewhat confirm that there is something larger going on here.. and that the situation, at least for...

Another legend passes on...

Other than hearing the name here and there, I didn't know anything about MadBent before this profile... but once again, he really seems like a cool guy who I certainly wouldn't mind meeting one day.

... there's enough disappointment to go around, but none of it is directed at my fellow Machinists who did everything they could to assist in this operation and protect the Technician. In any case, this has been an example of why I have lo...

A bit of an odd time... not sure I'll be able to make it. We'll have to see I suppose.

I agree completely. I tend to have a large number of spare bits and frags, so when someone asks for a spare, I can usually help them out... but even if I know I have something, I can't get it to them without having to go back to the LA, wh...

Hmm.. nice topic, and nice to see some good points brought up on both sides. I don't have much to contribute, but I'll toss my opinion out there anyway. hehe Basically, to me, PE's are both good and bad... and even the best ones touch upon...

Hmmmm...

Hmm.. I find this topic to be interesting.. hehe

Nice! One of the people I've seen around on the forums for ages that seemed cool, but I never really knew anything about.

The important thing to keep in mind about your stats is that you can "re-hack" them at any time by doing the stat hack mission available at any archive vendor. Especially if you're into PvP, you'll probably want to have a spare stat-hack t...

An intriguing turn of events... though it certainly doesn't answer all of the questions we've been presented with, it's a decent enough jumping off point. Excellent work fellow Machinists.

Weapons decay with use (some decay VERY quickly) and clothing items decay randomly by you taking damage. You can repair "broken" items using a repair tool and the appropriate skills in the crafting tree as long as there are small dots rema...

There are ability vendors next to a number of the hardlines in Richland, the first most people find being in Uriah. Once you purchase the abilities, you can just load them up at any hardline (or in the loading area) and level whichever nee...

*high fives Proc* .. anyway, I do wonder which one we'll be cooperating with. One would hope it's the original one... though perhaps it's not with either. Who knows at this point.

While I can certainly see how this will aid in the balance situation overall, as someone who uses MA almost exclusively I just know it's going to hurt. As has been said, being "stuck" in IL was bad before, but with the patch it will get ev...

Well... the area's pretty. Tapping nodes has never done much for me, even after the spawns were added, so .. umm... yeah. Like I said, at least the place is pretty.

Good read, and an extremely well deserved selection.

Indeed. The GIMP is a very nice piece of image editing software, available for an even nicer price.

Have yourself a good one

I can only echo what's already been said. It's the people, the friendships, and that commitment to eachother and to the game at large.

Some consider Syntax the RP server, but that's really not necessarily the case. There's RP on all 3 servers (though, for obvious reasons, you may not find people just standing around RPing at a hardline on Vector), but the style and conten...

Gratz!

I don't have any answers, but I'll just throw in that I see this too. With an MA load I see it once in a while, but not that often. Was running with knives in IL last night, however, and I saw it a lot. (ability icon flashes as if cue'd, c...

Definitely a fun party. Thanks for holding it!

Yeah, if this area is an open PvP area it really diminishes the interest to me as well. While FFA PvP is better than the standard PvP arrangement, it's still not something I'll bother engaging in very often... and data mining is still just...

If it's an archive, I certainly hope it's not a perma flag archive... not that it would make much sense with all the benches and whatnot, but it's still a concern.

Congrats Once again, another nice read.

Very nice work! One of the often unmentioned artists we have here that I'm sure everyone has enjoyed the work of.

Excellent work, everyone.

Shinryu, Syntax And here's some combat stuff: ... and that's all. For now anyway hehehe
