Okay, terrorists birthday is the second-worst time of the year for me (carneval is worse!) so I normally hole up with a batch of DVD's and a bottle of Scotch.
This year it included (aside for the last half-batch of SeaQuest with Ironside) + Soylent Green + Logans Run + Colossus + The Bronx Soylent Green/Year 2020 is a classic and more Cyberpunk than 80+ percent of the novels claiming to be Cyberpunk. That's the classic "world going to hell" of SR1/2 Aside from using "The Bronx" as a template for the combat zones (After all SR has already stolen the dialogs), I found Logans Run and Colossus quite useful for an arcology sample, both for "normal" live and for "Deus" And I wish FASA had "borrowed" SeaQuest as a model for their Undersea habitats rather than Custeau. |
