Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

the depleted uranium shells for the shotgun? rather disappointing.
It's a good fluff bit for "why would a shotgun do more damage without increasing recoil?" but it's just a damage boost.
like there are all these gothy cyberpunk high school kids
but I want a straight-up black-clothed masked ninja
he doesn't need cybernetic implants because he can hack your chi
also, even with most the upgrades, uzi is kinda useless.
maybe in later missions there won't be ammo crates everywhere so you will have to switch guns so i will be thinking "thank god i upgraded the uzi!" but as it stands, i would rather have the warcrime revolver.
Not that arena deathmatch shit that came out a few years ago.
Basically I'm going to wait for someone to mod Orks and Elves into Deus Ex Human Revolution.
Cause i want that too.
Cause that game wasn't very good.
I own it however.
Got it for 20 bucks and the 48 live card still intact.
I also want to play a game of PnP shadowrun, but everyone i almost trick into GMing it gets wise.
Who wants to shoot some mooks?
Or did everyone burn out on it?
I guess this could be the cyberpunk thread, where we examine how how the world is spiralling towards what it warned about but without virtual reality and robo arms.
You were saying?
But hey maybe in 20 years.
But a dude genuinely had his (massively damaged) regular arm lopped off for one. Voluntarily.
Welcome to the future. I can see why Gibson stopped writing Sci-Fi.
that would be depressing as shit.
That's sorta what he's writing now, actually.
Ever read Pattern Recognition? Similar themes to his older stuff, but it was set in the present. It's interesting.
Avoids things like 3 MEGS of hot RAM for sale, at least.
I need to get on that shit!
Yeah. Neuromancer was a great book, and in some ways it was shockingly prescient. Others...
You have read Burning Chrome, right?
Right, right.
Well, at least some Gibson short stories are up legitimately online. Worth googling.
If you can't find any Gibson, at least read Stephenson's Jipi and the Paranoid Chip. It's excellent.
You probably won't regret it!
My favorite of the short ones is New Rose Hotel, I think, but Hinterlands is probably the best, even if it isn't very Cyberpunk.
Novels, you want Neuromancer.
That man now moderates an internet forum.
I'm not sure i can lead that kind of life.
It's the Cyberpunk novel. For good and ill. If you're going to discuss the genre you need to read it.
Just hide any trenchcoats before. They'll seem cool for a couple weeks, but the shame from the pictures will haunt you forever.
Also it's corporate not corperate.
Also that was the only reason I came into this thread and I only used the demo as an excuse to post.
Also even though Gibson stopped doing sci-fi I still like his recent stuff, and it definitely amuses me how he went from writing about crazy future tech to writing about Google and augmented reality without really having to change his style much.
I'll do it again and i won't even feel bad.
Agreed. Pattern Recognition is one of the best books about the present I've ever read. Makes crap like Incredibly Close and Loud or whatever look even worse.

Man you are old.
and faster.
until in the time it takes to boot up you can beat it.
And apparently not bad?
Not the best time to come out though, what with everyone here wanting to get Mass effect 3.
But that said, anyone planning to get this?
Cause i am, in a bit, so i have something for off days of me3.
So yeah
and i'll buy this if i get paid (not sure how likely that is)
but ME3 comes out in a few weeks
and I'm not playing the games I already have
I don't go in for a month or so, maybe if people are still playing I'll check it out.
I'm looking for PAX Badges! Please PM me if you have a Four Day, or any Single Day Badges to spare!
And hey, Australia is finally getting an R18+ rating so I may actually get to play this.
...next January at the earliest (if they decide to re-submit it here).
