nonsense! us old timers remember the CZ vampire ninja and the infamous 'silvergun.'

plus new movies do come out. National Treasure and the Davinci Code certainly provide some ideas and although earlier films in the serries got a little cartoony- Cassino Royale shows a good way to get research as Bond gets clues from cell phones to track down the baddies.

Please, please, please leave moderating the boards to the moderators.

While we encourage searching, sometimes searches don't pull things up, sometimes people aren't well versed in performing good searches, and sometimes a person just wants to visit (or re-visit) a topic.

Remember, every topic is new to someone. If you have nothing to post other than "do a search", simply move on without posting. Thanks.

Not surprising considering the slant of the UK chapter of Shadows of Europe. I know a couple people round here keep referring to him as the Vendragon.

Well, as long as people are talking Tony Scott films, Man on Fire's view of Mexico City provides an outstanding look at the dystopian rich/poor dichotomy of most 2070 Plexes.
Not to mention some badass action and interrogation scenes.

Putting the sarcastic mockery of my post aside for a minute, I humbly suggest that if many of you would like, you may find that using the search function will reveal threads that mention lots of movies that maybe nobody on this particular thread will come up with. It will also reveal the suggestions made by many good ex-dumpshockers.

Speaking of ex-dumpshockers, it's getting so that I can't tell what's an acceptable or unacceptable post anymore, due to some rather inconsistent reinforcement. I've passed my concerns on to two moderators, including Bull, but have not received a response. Time to go looking for a new discussion place. Hopefully, if I return in the future, this will be settled.

The Usual Suspects is one of my absolute favorite movies and I have used it a number of times for inspiration for my games. I have gained alove of playing characters who pretend to be something else all time, never revealing who they really are. That has been reinforced even more since seeing The Prestige and the living as someone else was so thoroughly done in that movie.

The amount of vampire runners this would make seems...prodigious.

Seriously. We don't need more people wanting to make unusual character types which are really powerful. We want less of that. That kind of thing is what can kill a RPG because it leads to asinine power level inflation.

There was that one guy. WWXD and all that.

Not that it's a SR film but this reminds me of the 'The Human Stain'.

The Brits do these sort of shows well. They're a pessimistic mob.

Perhaps. It seems par for the course for what I expect of even a moderately complex campaign. The only difference is that Section 9 is a "save Japan" unit.

You mean the SR4 Matrix adequately ripped off copied GitS/GitS:SAC's imagery of net diving and augmented reality pretty well.

He isn't?

Just like they ripped off Neuromancer's Matrix? Yeah pretty much.

edit: Actually, that gives me an idea. What if we keep the fundamentals of decking (particularly, the WIRED matrix, servers, hosts etc.) but also implement some wireless elements, similar to GitS's combination of net diving and the more wireless hacking that is also exhibited. This would require extra hardware such as an upgrade/attachment/wireless adapter to the cyberdeck.
This way we could have the wired matrix, but also be able to forge a direct link to things such as slaves (electronic doors, cameras?). I think the drawback would be the radically increased signature among other things. I'm not going to say how it works, I'll leave that to others, but I think the concept has some merit.
