I thought lumberjacks were Canadian? (Assuming "redneck" in this sense is akin to "southern person")

Bugger. Down here in Oz, a reasonable amount of us associate "redneck" with any biggoted country types in north america who wear flanel. A quick search of wikipedia has proven me wrong.

Just goes to show you what sort of sterotypes american movies / tv is spreading...

There are Rednecks and Hillbillies in Canada as well. A friend of mine back home is a High-Tech Redneck.

But here on Dumpshock, all that's apparent is a screen name, avatar, sig, and of course, national stereotypes.

4166b. This includes having cyberlimbs with armor, with Spy Games superficial cyberware with armor over that, wearing armor, and riding in a rigger coccon inside an armored PMV inside an armored van.

Yeaah, it's not for the masses. Also, even if you're into it, best when drunk or high, and with a lot of friends.

There, an expert on prison gangs argued not only that having a Dungeon Master issue direction to other players “mimics the organization of a gang", but that the game encourages players to become obsessed with mentally escaping the restrictions of prison life, which could threaten “the safety and security of the institution.”

Penny-Arcade did a comic on this.

4934. I am not allowed to use plastic explosives or det cord as a melee weapon. No matter how many ranks in demolition I have and how good the armor is on the cyber hand.

4935. I cannot double or triple rush any task, even if I will accept a glitch on a roll of 1,2,3 or 4.

4936. I cannot have an atomizer. For any reason.
4936a. Everyone at the meet-up being on jazz or kamikaze does not "make things interesting".
4936b. Air quality sensors can pick up zen and explosives coming in with the outside air.
4936c. They can also pick up the individual components of binary explosives at separate outdoor air intakes.

4937. I cannot spend more than 50% of my starting nuyen on explosives or grenades.

Should make you happy then that War for Cybertron, combined with the current CG series and book series is "rebooting" (no pun intended) the Canon and making it official now.

Honestly, I was never much of a follower. Watched some as a kid (mostly Beast Wars), but it occurred to my young mind that rooting for the "bad guys" was actually a viable thing. They won on occasion. I never kept track, but I'd bet it was about 50-50. One episode one side would win, the next episode the other guys would win.
