Right! It sounds amazing, but hell by it, I'm a tad bit worried how fast we are progressing.

my slayerdoid will certainly say you are right.
but atleast 'we' can find a way 'around' a rock, but on the other hand, 'that' we could form the start........

hmmm.. makes me think of a friend of mine...

He wanted to be one with the machine
so placed a processor against his forehead

some kind soul promptly hit him, and embedded the processor into his skull (not fully, but left a nice imprint)

We already have THAT power. ^_^ Nukes baby! We could exterminate ourselves 10 times over. A little bit of cybertechnology doesn't have me scared.

Same here! We do already have the ability to destroy ourselves, but it is amazing how far we are progressing.

Able to replace limbs, organs, and now things like this! ^_^

I look foward to it, a little suprised, but eager especially if it brings it's...



cold steel love

Hey, Shadowrun came waaaay before the Matrix. *shakes his fist in the air*

Yeah, and cyberpunk came before Shadowrun. ;)

but the Matrix is more identifyable to pop culture. Plus there are images directly and imediately reconisable. Everyone knows what these people are talking about when they say mention the jacks in peoples skulls in the matrix. As opposed to mentioning something about a roleplaying game few (that will read that artical) will know about. ^_^

Cyberpunk = genre
Shadowrun = something in the cyberpunk genre

you know, he might be right in that youd have to have some disability to use the hardware, but things do change. just look at TV, it was first used only for the military, no EVERYBODY has one.

heh...

Anarchy-Online = Cyberpunk Community


I dunno why I pay for it still, it gives me sanctuary, its massive areas. I have been put under a spell by AO. It's community has caught meh in its web causing a feeling like AO is Reality, and that What others may call Real Life, is jus another game to meh, just like that game review o RL by gamespot. when i get into AO around borialis, i love mehself and nothings wrong, kina like loging into your drug.

I was speaking of the game cyberpunk, which is quite similar to Shawdowrun. Just minus the fantasy element.
