Deus Ex 3 is on it's way now, probably a prequel. Shame the film got scrapped, it was about the only videogame film that sounded promising.

I like the fact that chun-li was one of the first female videogame characters that was as good as(if not better) than alot of the male characters.. it just always seemed a little sad when the female characters were just a faster but alot weaker option in a skimpy outfit.

this is the origonal article the BBC put out on the blade-runner guy if anyone is interested.

To be honest the cheetahs he uses don't seem to be as good as biological legs and he isn't exactly in the top end of olympic sprinters.

Naruto and Bleach

ok they're a little bit childish, but I just wanted to see what all the fuss was about. I hated every minute of it, the endless flashbacks, the cliche'd story, the repetitive dialogue and the fights where they spend hours talking about what they're doing.... but then I noticed I'd just watched a few...

I think that guy with the artificial legs is awesome, maybe like Jeff implied they should make a third Olympics - the normal Olympics, paraolympics and a new enhanced-Olympics for people who want to take advantage of all the augmentations science has to offer. To be honest about the only thing that ...

so... that sucked. Nice cg stuff and I'm sure it'll sell a crapload of toys, but it took bad film to whole new levels of crappyness, hole filled plot, poor writing, supporting characters were just irritating and largely irrelevant, all the transformers looked the same in robot-mode and they did that...

Re: SSS questions

What are the Tachi's talking about in the last scene? They seem to be deep in conversation but the english and japanese versions don't give any dialog for them. I guess that's just to make them seem a bit conspiratorial after Batou tells the major that the Tachis deleted all record of the conversat...

Gynoid functionalism; maps, territories and chinese rooms...

In innocence we're presented with the idea of a roughly human-like robot with a human soul, but what if Locus Solus had gone with another development route in making realistic human-like dolls. What if they constructed a doll with all the rules that describe the way a real human being behaves. This ...

wow, that's alot of questions :) The first one is hard because they left the pupeteers identity so ambiguous :? um.. but as I see it there are two main possibilities. Firstly it could just be Takaaki Koshiki who, as you are told in the final conversation with Batou, worked from home with his cyberbr...

Worst ever games!

what are the games you loathe, hate, despise etc. the most and why? :wink: for me it would have to be, 1. America's Army - using a game as a recruiting tool is just sick. 2. Command & Conquer: Renegade - nearly killed the best ever RTS series. 3. Daikatana - disappointment thy name is Romero. 4....
